RPG & Adventure

Epic stories, deep builds and worlds that swallow hundreds of hours.

If the PC has a genre to call its own crown jewel, it’s the sprawling RPG. Baldur’s Gate 3 rewrote what a reactive world can be; The Witcher 3 and Elden Ring defined the two poles of open-world design; Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 proved in 2025 that a small studio can out-write studios ten times its size.

Every entry here earned its place through consequence — builds that matter, choices that echo 80 hours later. Start with BG3 if you have a friend, Elden Ring if you have something to prove, and Skyrim if you have mods to install (see Tools).
