"From lonely farmhouses through pitched battles with gods in far-flung dimensions, Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the most captivating role-playing games ever made. It’s a challenge to restore the depth and nuance for which the genre was once known." Taken together, Torment is far more than just a phenomenal role-playing game. Using pools of points to set limits on its players and driving player expression through curiosity are novel additions to one of gaming’s oldest genres. Torment defines itself as codified opposition to current trends, but that’s also not all it is. Story is the everything, and the play that backs that story, while minimal, gives the experience a weight that’s too often lost in other games. It isn’t about cutting down waves of foes, it’s not about being the one true hero, and it’s not wish fulfillment. "Torment wants you to dig through its hamlets and delve into its dungeons on your own. Torment: Tides of Numenera (PC, PS4, Xbox One) - 9/10 GameSpot ranks top RPGs of the year by score: Did we mention the spell-binding art design and music? Pyre is everything that one could possibly love from a Supergiant role-playing game and yet, so much more. “Combat” is a wholly different affair, pitting teams of three against each other in sports-like matches where abilities, cohesion and movement play a big role.

It’s full of colourful characters, immersing you in its dialogue and character interaction that make the oncoming decisions all the more intriguing. In a year dotted with so many action RPGs, Supergiant Games’ Pyre is something…different. More than just resurrecting the studio from the waning Ninja Gaiden series, Nioh is proof that Team Ninja can create an excellent action RPG worthy of your time. The excellent combat is backed by so much customization and content that it’s insane. In fact, it combines Feudal Japan, Japanese mythology, a Diablo-like loot grind, heaps of customization and weapons, numerous side quests, a sprawling campaign, plenty of difficult encounters and memorable boss fight. Team Ninja’s Nioh is so much more than a Dark Souls clone. Don’t let the strangeness of Rivellon scare you – there’s so much waiting to be discovered and each playthrough can compel you in ways that are fresh yet grim.

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.
