Turn-based
RPGs may have diminished in popularity in the early 2000s and 2010s, but they are making a huge comeback over the past decade or more with impressive titles that are highlighting how the classic gameplay style can be modernized. A great example of this is
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the 2025 GOTY that brought new light to the genre, following in the footsteps of
Baldur’s Gate 3 in 2023. Some
turn-based RPGs are defined by choices you make during the campaign, while others stand out due to their gameplay mechanics. Meanwhile, other titles are defined by their looks.
