Our Favorite RPGs We Played In 2021!

Nick Fitkin @NickRahl - Thanks to you guys I played Tales of Arise! I didn’t have anything even come close to that in terms of best RPG, I’d probably say Endwalker too but these queues have stopped me from finishing it so far

TPR - Hey y’all! This response may break a couple rules in that this game didn’t come out in 2021, but I played it this year, and it is debatable if this game is an action brawler or an action RPG, but alas, Yakuza Kiwami 2 for me! The writing, new combat, and visuals from seeing the dragon engine in action myself for the first time was truly amazing. It probably is now my second favorite yakuza game I’ve played so far, just behind yakuza 0, and I’ve already started yakuza 3. I will be starting SMT 5 in the next few days after picking the steelbook up for nearly 50% off, maybe it makes a last minute push for me. Cheers!

Hoppel - For me it's "Yakuza like a dragon", because it was played in 2021. Followed by Psychonauts 2 and Mass Effect 1 (Legendary Edition)

Grrouchie Surge - Best RPGs I am playing this year: Steamworld Quest, Yakuza like a Dragon (still playing)

Marcus O'neill - The best RPG I played this year was….. Chrono Trigger. After listening to your episode earlier this year I finally decided to knock this one off my list. And all the praise it gets is well-deserved. A definite classic….. As for RPGs that were released this year, I haven't played many but I really dug Echo Generation. The elevator pitch is it’s Earthbound meets Stranger Things. It had a fun sci-fi/horror story, with a cool voxel art style and, at times, challenging turn-based combat. It’s short too, which as a new parent with limited gaming time is much appreciated!

Nick Faulhaber - Best RPG I played this year was Nier: Automata. Just got around to scratching it off the backlog list and it was incredible!
