Best Third-Person RPG Ever Made
Role-playing games, as the name suggests, are built around the idea of role-playing. This is not only about choosing options in dialogues but also about selecting appearance and equipment. Therefore, every player wants to see their hero.
Developers are aware of this desire and almost always add the ability to view the alter ego from the side in their projects. This is most often achieved through a third-person camera.
