Here are our five favourite RPGs released in 2024. BioWare took almost a decade to create Dragon Age: The Veilguard but it was worth the wait. We loved returning to Thedas and encountering familiar faces as well as building relationships with a whole new cast of characters.

Combat has seen an overhaul in a fresh and fast-paced style whether you choose warrior, rogue or mage. If you want to learn more about the game check out our Dragon Age: The Veilguard review. Another sequel we waited years for, Dragon’s Dogma 2 features the spectacular encounters we’ve been waiting for.

Aside from the fantastical fights, you can recruit other players’ characters and pawns to travel the world with. This gives you more strategic layers to each battle, or they could turn into a dragon and destroy a whole village. You can find out more by reading our Dragon’s Dogma 2 review.

Following the classic story after Cloud and the gang leave Midgar, Rebirth tells the second part of the story of one of the best games of all time. It expands on the story of the original with more side quests, and additional character dialogue that reveals more about them.
