Role-playing games (RPGs) have been a cornerstone of the gaming world for over three decades. Each month brings a wave of new RPGs, from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta.
