We Pick the Top 25 RPGs Of All Time!

It’s time at last to share our newly-revised list of the 25 best RPGs of all time! For much of 2022 we’ve been slowly collecting potential nominees for an update to the list that we made several years ago. Now it’s time to share that list for all to see!

To make this list we took the list of nominees plus the original list and made our own Top 25s, with the games that were on all three lists going straight into the Top 25. From there we embraced debate with discussions including:

• Whether or not Mass Effect should be included a trilogy
• Eric calling Skyrim the “McDonald’s hamburger of RPGs.”
• Multiple RPGs being rescued from the dead
• Whether it’s time to anoint brand-new #1

For your convenience, we’ve shared time codes below.
