Wccftech's Best RPGs of 2022 - The Year of the JRPG

Wccftech's Best RPGs of 2022
2022 was another standout year for RPGs, from brand new IPs from the progenitor of the Souls subgenre to indie darlings that surprised in more ways than one. Whether you prefer your RPGs more verbose or leaning more towards stylish action, there's plenty to fill entire weeks of your free time.

Elden Ring (10)
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin (8.2)

I know it sucks but Elden Ring has earned almost every top award on the internet this year. It's starting to look like one of those once a decade games that change gaming.

It's an action-RPG. I think it's far stranger to see games like God of War and Legend of Zelda being called RPGs now.

I personally think those should be just called action games rathed than action RPG... (well, I haven't played Elden Ring but I'm guessing its just an action game?)

It annoys me that people call Monster Hunter games action RPG. Its not, there's no character development.

Combat-wise, you could call it an action game, but the XP (runes) system and character development play a big part for most people.
