Our main rule when putting together these lists is that a game should still be fun to play today, rather than just making a big impact when it came out. So we'll keep this list updated if any new games turn out to be really good - but rest assured that everything on here is playable right now, so there's no disappointment. The year of the RPG isn't up yet, as Starfield is just around the corner promising an entirely different kind of RPG experience, and even further of we can see big titles Dragon Age 4 in our future. But fear not if you're not into fantasy: we have plenty of other RPG antics to suit different tastes.

Given that many of us play video games as a form of escapism, is it not arguable that the RPG is the truest form of video game? There's a reason that the genre where you get to literally pretend to be someone else is a popular one, and as such, we've curated a list of the best RPGs you can play on PC right now.
