Role-playing computer games - one of the largest and most popular genres on PC. If the consoles are dominated by simulators, action games and interactive cinema, then computers and until recently were ruled by strategies and RPGs. In this article we will look at some of the best RPGs on PC. The presented games are selected according to general estimates taken from different game resources.
Fallout Series
An extremely popular series of games in the CIS, which will soon have a new part - Fallout 76. Some audiences like the classics in the form of the first two parts - complete freedom, interesting tasks, old isometric graphics. Younger players like the third part and New Vegas, which transfer the ideas of the classics to the 3D engine from the TES series. Fallout 4 even moved away from the canon in the direction of the shooter, but retained the memorable atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world.
If you make the rating of RPG games on PC according to the Fallout series, then the first two parts can be called the best. In third place will be New Vegas, which was created with the participation of the screenwriter of the first two games. On the 4th - Fallout 3, and the extreme Fallout 4 closes, which many did not like because of slurred pumping, a poor dialogue system and endless shootouts, which is not quite in the spirit of classic RPGs.
The Witcher Series
In 2007, no one knew that the play on the book universe of a Polish writer from a small studio would subsequently grow into one of the main episodes of our time. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with it according to the following principle. If you are not afraid of old games, then start playing from the first part, and you can also read books before that in order to delve into the plot completely.
If you prefer only modern RPGs, then play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This game tops the ranking of RPG games on PC for the last 5-6 years.
The Elder Scrolls Series
Another favorite series along with Fallout, also created by the same studio. If in the first parts - Arena and Daggerfall - it is impossible to play today, then starting with Morrowind a modern player can get a lot of fun. Despite the fact that many fans of classics did not like Skyrim, it still remains a large-scale RPG with an open world and freedom of action, which is why you can spend more than one hundred hours in the game.
Bethesda has already announced the development of TES 6. Perhaps with the release of this RPG game, the series will regain its status. In any case, development is in its infancy, so you'll have to enjoy Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim!
Dragon Age Series
In all ratings of RPG games on PC, Dragon Age is constantly featured. The first part was warmly received by the public, the second caused controversy, and the third completely turned into a kind of MMORPG with similar quests. However, Dragon Age 1 and 2 are recommended for review. In the game you will find a variable story, which can be changed using personal choice. It may take 50-70 hours to complete only the storyline, so you will have something to do!
Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2
Making a rating of RPG games on a PC, it is impossible to do without at least one isometric party project. Suppose that in both parts of the Divinity 3D-graphics with a camera on top, but they perfectly convey the spirit of old RPGs.
The feature of the games is that you can not only collect a party from computer partners, but also call a real friend who will take control of one of the heroes. In such a situation, disagreements often arise and opposing decisions are made that affect the game world.
