Whether you like turn based battles or more action focused games, there's a game here you're sure to enjoy. Take a look at this list of the best RPGs for PS5.
The PlayStation platform has always been home to some of the best RPGs on the market. Whether they’re JRPGs, action RPGs, tactical RPGs, or any other variation, there’s never been a shortage of games that allow you to live out a new experience in nearly any type of setting you could imagine. RPGs were initially a more niche genre, catering to the old school Dungeons and Dragons players, but have steadily grown in popularity as they have become more accessible and widespread.
Just because Final Fantasy 14 is an MMO doesn’t mean it isn’t just as much a Final Fantasy game. Sure, there are your mindless grind quests here and there, but the main story content, of which there is now dozens upon dozens of hours worth, is considered to be among the best the series has ever told. Unlike other MMOs, Final Fantasy 14 put just as much time and care into crafting the game’s story over essentially a decade without sacrificing quality at any step.
The story Tales of Arise tells is perhaps more deep and metaphorical than you might expect. We’re far beyond the days of JRPGs being simple stories of collecting elemental crystals, sure, but too few tackle real issues like race, slavery, and discrimination. While not everyone will see it as a perfect representation of those difficult themes, Tales of Arise does an admirable job of portraying them in a grounded way despite taking place in a fantastic setting.
Demon’s Souls Remake Not only were we blessed with a fantastic, yet brutal, RPG right at the PS5’s launch, but it also just happened to be a remake of the cult hit that essentially birthed the souls-borne genre. Demon’s Souls Remake is both the most accessible, and inaccessible souls game for different reasons, but stands as a must-play for just about everyone. Yes, if you know what type of game a Souls game is and aren’t into it, this game probably won’t change your mind.
If you’ve played Origins or Odyssey, the basics of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla will be familiar to you. You fight to level up, learn new skills, get new gear through exploration and as rewards, and slowly expand across a massive map with increasingly strong enemies. While this game probably has the lightest RPG elements on the list, you essentially just need to worry about your character level and gear to make it through, it’s everything surrounding the core system that make it a great RPG.
