TOP 25 BEST RPGS 2024-2025

 

This here is the Top 25 Best RPGs I Played in 2024 and 2025. Two years of JRPGs, WRPGs and Indie RPGs, all in one video. But only the ones that I finished. As you may know, I did play far more than the ones shown in the video, including the likes of Unicorn Overlord, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Majin Tensei, DBZ Attack of the Saiyans and a BIG, long etc... But I didn't finish those. So I wanted to focus on the ones I did beat and maybe next year I'll come back to the ones I didn't and make a new video. 

Others I did finish but didn't make it to the list because, while they're great, they weren't greater than the ones in the video: Luminous Arc 2, Shining Blade, Bloody Bride, Archaic Sealed Heat, Fallen Legion, Persona 5 Tactica, C.A.R.D.S. RPG, Trinity Trigger, Monochrome Order, Mercenaries Wings, Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja and many others. Think of these as honorable mentions.

So that's it for the RPGs I played and finished within these 2 years. Obviously I put them together because I didn't do a video for 2024. Hopefully next year, 2026, will have its own video... Since there are many more RPGs to be played...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
