While it is best to play the others to fully understand the world and characters, which is all available on GeForce Now, you can still enjoy Wild Hunt without it. Enough exposition and character development help make you care about what is happening. Even if that doesn't work, you have engaging combat, side quests, and the card game Gwent to keep you entertained for over 100 hours.

Assassin's Creed going down the RPG road has had some fans divided from the original formula. It found success, and it got refined on the second outing when Ubisoft went from Origins to Odyssey.

Going to Ancient Greece, one of the series' biggest worlds, was developed to enrapture both fans of AC and fans of Greek mythology. While it gave two choices of a man or a woman, being the first time since Syndicate where you could play a woman assassin. Kassandra quickly became a fan favorite, leading the charge in one of the better entries in the series.

Licensed games can range in any quality from embarrassingly bad to surprisingly great. South Park: The Stick of Truth is in the surprisingly great category, with the show's identity being a core part.

For fans of South Park, they should expect satirical writing and hilarious moments. What made this so shocking when it was released, besides the explicit humor, was how it was a solid RPG. It had all the core basics and stuck the landing in, delivering a more linear RPG that scratches the itch without requiring players to sink 'The Witcher 3' levels of time into it.

It has been quite a while since Dragon Age: Inquisition graced people's consoles or PCs. Inquisition set a high bar for the upcoming fourth game, Dreadwolf. Across its high reviews and accolades, it will have a lot to compete with when it releases.

Inquisition's semi-open-world with various areas makes it not as overwhelming as other open-world RPGs. Also, it delivers the refinements that BioWare figured out throughout the series. As a result, this is the gateway for people who never played previous installments while also being the finest of wines for long-time fans.

2 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Blending genres can create something magical, and Deus Ex does that by being an FPS and an RPG all in one. The underrated rebooted games, especially Mankind Divided, rightfully earned praise but unfortunately sold poorly. So, you might as well take a moment to see what made it special if you missed out on release.

Mankind Divided has a bit of everything, making it irresistible from its fascinating sci-fi world, stealth gameplay, and intense action if things go sideways on your stealth attempts.

1 Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley is one of the best success stories in the gaming industry, especially on the indie side. A lone developer tried making a game that is an homage to Harvest Moon, then struck gold after years of hard work.

It is a beautifully crafted pixel art farming game that goes beyond farming with its characters, mining, and so much more. Over the years, new biomes have been introduced, and loads more content has beefed up what started as a modest indie game.
