Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

[Gladius Legis]

Not a new game per se, but ...

 

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

I've held off on Wrath as its an AP I skipped int he PF1 era. I wasnt too keen on mythic rules and its storytelling. Though, ill check it out sometime eventually. Good to know about Rogue Trader wasnt on my radar but it is now.

All three were great, but I would say that Wrath of the Righteous was the standout among them.

Mass Effect is a shooter-RPG hybrid. In mass effect 1 the hybrid is a misshapen monstrosity; in 2 and 3 they went more for a straight shooter (with rpg elements) and the gameplay benefitted immensely. Trying to jam anything into a single box these days is a fool’s errand.

The changes look fairly minimal, and focused on making it work on Steam Deck. Which means the main campaign still sucks.

It's still way better than the first game's main quest. It's worth one good-aligned playthrough, if nothing else just to set the context for Mask of the Betrayer.
