Which role-playing game should you play this year?

It’s not an easy choice


Role-playing games are amazing. They let you explore huge, magical worlds, and take on epic quests that make your day-to-day life seem boring in comparison. But they come with one huge drawback: they tend to be so long that there’s little room for other things in your life, like sleep or food (I’m still recovering from reviewing The Witcher 3 in May). Because of this, picking the right RPG is essential. There are a few big games coming out later this year — ranging from the grim post apocalypse of Fallout to the cheerfully dark world of Persona — and picking just one isn’t easy. But by answering just these few questions you can find out which game is worthy of your next 100 hours of gaming time.
