Game Informer - RPG of the Year Awards

by Aubrielle, 2016-01-15 10:15:10

Game Informer gives us their picks for RPG of the Year in various categories, such as battle system (LoH: Trails of Cold Steel), Setting (Fallout 4), and Narrative (Witcher 3).

This year had plenty of worthwhile role-playing games to get lost in. A slew of absorbing games, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Pillars of Eternity, and Fallout 4, appeared with much fanfare. Unfortunately, handheld RPGs weren't as dominant as usual, and games like Tales of Zestiria and Xenoblade Chronicles X underwhelmed compared to their predecessors. The year also had its share of unexpected darlings with Undertale and Legends of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel coming out of nowhere to earn a spot in the race to the top of the RPG pack. Read on to discover what stood out in a year full of ups and downs for the genre.
