The Worst RPGS of 2023

2023 has already been hailed as one of the greatest gaming years ever. Games of all genres witnessed absolute genius, but in particular, the RPG truly took over. However, for all the greatness we witnessed, there was also a handful of terrible RPGs, whether it was because of rushed development, weak game mechanics, or otherwise

This site seems absolutely horrible on ranking things. This is the second list I've seen from them that is just flatout terrible. Also if redfalls an rpg what isn't an rpg these days.

isarai486d ago

Like half of these are not even close to being RPGs

shinoff2183486d ago (Edited 486d ago )

That's what i was thinking. People these days are way to loose with the term rpg. I've said it before with some people talking you could label cod, madden, nba2k, etc as rpgs

FinalFantasyFanatic485d ago (Edited 485d ago )

This has been happening for years, people have tried to dilute the term of RPG to "anything where you play a role", which basically makes the genre term useless as everything becomes an RPG, the term just becomes too loose.

I like having strict definitions for genres because it makes it easier for me to tell what kind of game I'm looking at/expecting. It also makes it really hard for me to trust other people when they explain a game to me that I'm not familiar with because I don't know if we're working with the same understandings of a given genre like RPG.

No idea why Ever Crisis is on this list. It's a gacha and does what it says on the tin. I've actually enjoyed it, they've remade a lot of the story moments of FF7 and I've liked watching them again with a graphical difference. And for a gacha you don't even need to spend anything. I'm still playing it months on.

And forspoken shouldn't be on it either. Does a few things very very well. Just lacking in a few more.

Daedelic: “we’re making a game about Gollum crawling through a boring mine.”

Gamers: “we don’t want this. Don’t make this game.”

Daedelic: “nah, we’re going to do it anyway.”

(Game releases)

Gamers: …..

Daedelic: “so, we’ve decided we’re going to stop making games.”

Which is a shame
Because as far as I could tell they were a huge part of point and click games for years

I enjoyed playing Forspoken & Atlas Fallen.

Review - Blue Prince (PS5) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Even if you aren’t a fan of roguelikes, Blue Prince feels much more like an elaborate puzzle box. There’s a satisfying feeling in making it further than you did before, finding clues to a puzzle, then stumbling onto another piece of that puzzle a few runs later. Blue Prince is certainly one of the most interesting games of this year. It takes a fairly novel concept in a roguelike puzzle game, adding elements of deckbuilding and base crafting. It all comes together for a gameplay experience unlike anything else out there today."

Huge difference i must admit, but not sure i would notice without 2 screens next to each other.

Not getting this game still, i want a new game and im tired of remasters

Muigi6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It’s $10 and there are plenty of games out there for you.

Flewid6385h ago

Then its not a huge difference?

Remastered.....

Tedakin6h ago

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Bathyj6h ago

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

andy856h ago

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

andy856h ago

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM6h ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH49m ago

It was full of bugs at release I wouldn’t call that being unfairly judged. If you want your game to score well then release it in a completed state. Now with that being said I think the game was pretty good.

Knushwood Butt6m ago

It really wasn't.
The worst I encountered was a horde spawning on top of me when exploring a cave.
Did you even play this at launch?
