Larian Studios earned a name for itself with the first game but Divinity: Original Sin 2 surpasses it in every single way. GamingBolt brings us 15 best RPGs of 2017:

Whether putting together a team of rag-tag child heroes, exploring the supernatural Metaverse, putting together a party of miscreant warriors to defeat an ancient evil, or defending the people of ancient Egypt, the RPGs of 2017 have given us so much more than we ever expected. Each of these games surpassed their predecessor and our expectations in what an RPG experience could be, and surprise titles like Nier: Automata and Golf Story delighted us as a welcome departure from the norm.

This year saw a number of action-packed and deeply engrossing sequels, including South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Persona 5, Assassin’s Creed Origins, and Divinity: Original Sin 2, to name a few. 2017 has been a year of blockbuster titles, one after the other, and while games these days tend to blend genres to give gamers something entirely new to experience, at their core, these games did an amazing job of pulling you in and putting you in the shoes of their protagonist. Feeling that unconscious moment where you think and act like the character you portray every movement and decision meticulously plotted in the blink of an eye because you simply are that character. Nothing is more satisfying than finding yourself deeply immersed in the lore, history, and world of a game. Here's COGconnected with a list of contestants for their RPG of the year award: The plentiful best-of lists reflect that, and while they feature perhaps a few JRPGs too many for my taste and not enough great indie and AA titles like Expeditions: Viking, ELEX, or Vaporum, it's still a nice thing to see our favorite genre celebrated across the Internet. Let's start the new year with something positive, shall we? 2017 was a great year for video games and it just so happens that quite a few of those were RPGs.
