2013 RPGs

Path of Exile
Paper Sorcerer
Avadon 2: The Corruption
Expeditions: Conquistador
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Mars: War Logs
Aarklash: Legacy
Van Helsing I: Complete Pack
Driftmoon

Many of game from your list are not RPGs at all(like bioshock, eador etc).And also I think ROTY poll should not include expansions and HD/Complete editions

Nyx · January 9, 2014

As for top 10 2013 I'm afraid I can't make a list out of it since I haven't played most of them or they are not in my opinion worthy of a top10, such as Neverwinter.
However Path of Exile and Rogue Legacy are by far the top 1 and 2 out of that list. And sorry for not having a more comprehensive list.

As for most anticipated 2014 I'll do the following order:
1. Divinity: Original Sin
2. Sui Generis
3. Cyberpunk 2077 (is this really set for 2014 though?)
4. Dragon Age: Inquisition
5. Dark Souls II
6. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
7. Kingdom Under Fire II
8. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
9. Blackguards
10. South Park: The Stick of Truth

I took the games off our site. I firmly believe as many others do that what makes an RPG is very subjective. They are both general lists that I can change and edit.

Nyx · January 9, 2014

Does it have to be PC games or can I add a PS4 game to my 2014 list?

They should be for the PC as the site is mostly for CRPGs. Anyone can make suggestions about adding or taking more off. I'm listening to feedback.

Nyx · January 9, 2014

added Kingdom Under Fire 2 to my 2014 list (not on your original list). It's been a rather bumpy progress but it's aimed for 2014 this time around at least.

Corwin · January 9, 2014

Underrail hasn't been released yet and wasn't Inquisition released last year? I remember reviewing it.

Underrail should be out this year, and Inquisition was released in 2012.

Kostas · January 10, 2014

Shouldn't expansions/DLCs(/re-releases??) get their own category as in the past?

Usually Myrthos does it every year but he is busy. This is my first time ever doing this, and it will be different this year. I'm open to suggestions. :anxious:

Last year we had four categories. Kickstarters have changed things this year also.

Most Promising Indie RPG
Most Promising RPG
Best Indie RPG
Best RPG

I simplified it into two instead.

Best RPG
Most Promising RPG

It's easier and will take less work.

Lemonhead · January 10, 2014

2013 (these are the only RPGs released this year that I played. 2013 was bad.)

Pillars of Eternity
Wasteland 2
