Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights throws players into a dark atmospheric world where you play the role of a girl named Lily. Taking place within medieval times, the game opens up with a supernatural storm. This storm has cursed a kingdom and turned all of the living into hostile creatures. Fortunately, Lily awakens safely at the kingdom cathedral only to discover the horrors that await outside. Players will go through this Metroidvania platformer, battling against the hostile beasts and seeking out the source of this rain.
This game is often described as Hollow Knight, just with less platforming involved. As a result, there was plenty of attention to their next big video game release which was Transistor. Within this game, players step into the role of Red, a lounge singer that had her voice stolen although in its place she wields a strong and large sword-like weapon called the Transistor.
This is quite the action RPG, where players can make upgrades to their character whether it be aimed towards delivering powerful attacks or defensive measures to keep Red a bit safer in a fight. Within the game, players find that humanity is nearing extinction thanks to a horrific war between two supernatural forces that both see humanity as either a resource or simply a target to cleansing from the world.

The Kingdom Hearts franchise was a huge hit when it first came out on the PlayStation 2. Overall, players were going through the various Disney IP worlds as they fought off hostile enemies that were bringing darkness to the universe. Players once again stepped into the role of Sora as you battled heartless across a variety of Disney-owned worlds and characters.
For instance, players would venture to the world featuring the Pirate of the Caribbean, Monsters, Inc. Meanwhile, the combat has remained the same with players freely roaming around and battling against enemies using their various Keyblades acquired along the way. Fallout in general is a massively popular RPG franchise that has a strong following however, some would say that the best installment from the franchise is Fallout New Vegas.
Here players are not going through the typical trope of a Fallout game in which you start in Vault only to emerge back into the open Wasteland. Instead, Fallout New Vegas puts players in the heart of Vegas which has continued to thrive with fresh water and power thanks to the Hoover Dam. The Tales franchise has been around for years. This IP throws players into different thrilling narratives, with the latest installment being Tales of Arise. With Tales of Arise, the main focus is stopping a regime.
Centered around the narrative are two planets, a medieval world called Dahna and an advanced world called Rena. Fortunately, these characters will help out during combat, just like in past games. In fact, this installment has a brand new feature called Boost Strike, which allows party members to do a series of attacks in unison.
Besides the main campaign, players have a series of planets they could visit which holds different communities to explore and characters to meet. Again, similar to Fallout, there are a ton of side quests you could accept and help which would reward players with in-game currency, XP, or gear.
The rest of the big moral choices will be left to you as you progress through the game. Path of Exile for quite a few fans out there was the go-to free alternative to a Diablo video game experience.
The gameplay was essential with an isometric view as you went through the game battling all sorts of hostile forces and a skill tree that was massive allowing players to spend points in unlocking attributes or skills that gave them a buff towards their preferable play style. When it comes to the storyline, players are tossed onto the island of Wraeclast, a location that has been cursed and holds nothing but criminals kicked off from the nearby island location of Oriath.

The gameplay is full of quests and puzzles to solve. Not to mention, a swarm of enemies to battle against using your various hack-and-slash-style combat weapons. One of the video game titles that have done incredibly well with fans pleading Square Enix to deliver a remake was Final Fantasy 7, which came out on the original PlayStation console.
It took several years before Square Enix finally caved and announced a remake for the PlayStation 4. The game only released just last year which dropped the turn-based RPG combat that the original title was known for. Instead, we get an action RPG with players freely moving around during combat and being able to deliver a barrage of attacks of dodges. Unfortunately, this is not the full game as the developers opted to release this game in episodic-style installments.
We mentioned Fallout earlier in this list with Fallout New Vegas. However, we also have the latest mainline installment available for players today which is Fallout 4.
Scrambling to the local vault, players make it just in time with their spouse and child. In this particular vault, everyone is put in a chamber that forces them into hibernation for several years, preserving them until they are ready to resurface.

Knowing how to dodge and when to counter is the name of the game here with Dark Souls 3 being the last mainline installment for the franchise so far. Dark Souls 3 is a game that puts players into the Kingdom of Lothric as you attempt to fight back all kinds of hostile creatures and undead from rising.
We made mention of Obsidian Entertainment being a fan-favorite video game development studio that is capable of delivering some truly incredible RPG titles. Another thrilling series that they brought out into the marketplace was Dragon Age.
In this game, you may choose from five different classes to take on hordes upon hordes of enemies coming straight to get you, as well as team up with up to three of your friends.
The character customization will also make it interesting from the start. This beautiful action RPG implements almost puzzle-like mechanics to the fights, having you figure out the weaknesses of bosses in intricate and interesting ways.

With over fifty hours of gameplay and an enormous variety of skills, this game will impress even the most experienced veterans of action RPGs. A feature that is very appreciated by the players is Lady Katarina, your ghostly companion.
She helps you in several ways and is also very witty and charismatic. Definitely won't get bored with her around. Another game letting you play as an epic monster slayer that hunts supernatural beings. In this ARPG, you'll never get tired of blasting away skeletons, zombies, and ghouls with the gigantic arsenal at your disposal. The weapons, armor, and spells your character uses are entirely chosen by you and give you several different buffs. The great graphics and interesting mechanics will pique the interest of any old-school Diablo fan and will remind them of the fun they had with the Diablo series.
The storyline is a bit bland but is best enjoyed with friends to help you on your quest to vanquish evil fiends from the world. An overhaul of the classic, Titan Quest Anniversary Edition revamps many of the features that improve the quality of life of the players, as well as making the graphics better and making the Titan Quest experience much more enjoyable. The shooting is fast-paced, abilities are unique and interesting, and players can create their own builds based on a skill tree.
But the amount of build options and loot can be overwhelming for newcomers. This title puts the player in a medieval and gothic setting with lots of baddies to put down. There are even two expansions to play through, as well, for more top-down looting shenanigans. Build a hybrid monster or keep things simple and clean. Just know that your choices do have an impact on the story. This adorable title sets the player as Tilo -- a mouse minstrel trapped in a keep.
Explore the grounds and beyond while avoiding enemies at all costs. In fact, players can jump and platform to some degree in what is otherwise a traditional aRPG title. You run around an overworld battling enemies, gaining loot, and progressing through a story. But Victor Vran offers very streamlined progression with intuitive controller mechanics.
Though it can be a bit grindy at times, Warframe is totally free-to-play and offers tons of content. Players create their own space ninja robots and engage in third-person shooter combat with melee options.
