For over three decades, role-playing games have been a cornerstone of the gaming landscape. Each month brings a fresh wave of RPGs, from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta.
