Europe has become one of the world's great homes for role-playing games. These five show the range — from tabletop-inspired epics to historical realism.
Baldur's Gate 3
For players who love choice above all. Few games react so specifically to what you try. Expect a long commitment.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
For players who want great stories in an open world. Its side quests are often as memorable as the main plot.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
For players who enjoy turn-based combat but want it to feel active. Its art direction is unlike anything else on this list.
“There is no single European style of role-playing game — and that is the point.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
For players interested in history and willing to accept friction. Its world rewards patience.
Cyberpunk 2077
For players who prefer first-person action and science fiction. Today's version is substantially improved over its launch.
