The best role-playing games of all time

Here's a list of the best RPGs of all time. In this top you will find not only hits of recent years, but also old time-tested RPGs that are perfect for weak PCs.

The name of the RPG genre comes from the English role playing game and is translated as “Role playing game”. There is also a tracing paper of the abbreviation in Russian - RPG. However, this option is not usually used by professional journalists and is more common in colloquial speech and informal communication.

The very term “role-playing game” accurately describes the gameplay. After all, for every role-playing game it is necessary to roleplay a certain character: a wild barbarian or a disciplined magician, a mercantile villain or a noble hero. This is the main difference between an RPG and an action-adventure game with RPG elements like Horizon Zero Dawn. Also, every RPG necessarily includes character leveling.
