Below are some awesome role-playing games that will entertain players for hours and keep them waiting A fable at least more tolerable. From the original mix of classic tabletop and turn-based RPGs to a remastered JRPG classic that's back and better than ever.
1 Wildermit
A very special kind of game, with a lot of replayability
Wildermit is a rather unique game that combines TTRPG-style storytelling and exploration with turn-based board combat with animated pawns. Each playthrough is different, and players can enjoy multiple campaigns with specific settings but different outcomes. In this game, heroes will grow old, lose weapons, form relationships, marry each other, have children, recruit and train a new generation of heroes, and so on.
There is no “time limit” per se, but characters and their hometowns may be affected by the “invasion” of certain enemies, or some events are time limited and require immediate resolution. Therefore, players need to be extra careful when they play each scenario and pay attention to the events and warnings in the game. The best part about Wildermit it's replayability that can provide thousands of hours of fun alone or with friends.
2 Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
Fun combat, fun RPG mechanics
A remaster of the 2012 classic with HD textures and all DLC, including new areas to explore. Kingdom of Amalur it's a pretty amazing game with fun gameplay and exciting combat mechanics. The story is a bit brutal, but still engaging enough as players dig into it.
The good thing about this game is that it allows players to create many different types of characters, thanks to the Destinies system, which unlocks bonuses and passives based on which attributes fans choose to boost: Strength, Refinement, or Magic.
3 Baldur's gate 3
If you liked Fable's morality system, you'll love this game
Baldur's gate 3 is the third installment of the legendary saga started by Bioware, but presented to modern audiences (and in the most excellent form) by Larian Studios. If players are looking for the perfect RPG to pass the time before a new one A fable out, then look no further. Replayability, unpredictability and fun mechanics make it a top choice for adventure seekers.
Its world-building and narrative design are top-notch, and in case those who haven't played it are wondering, yes, it allows players to be the bad guys of the story. With its moral system based on the classics D&D, no choice is exempt from wreaking havoc, especially when players choose the dangerous Dark Lust as their Origin Character. Let the carnage begin!
4 Fallout 4
Great time to revisit and maybe make some modifications
Fallout 4 better than ever, especially with the release of the mod Fallout: London which transforms the game into a completely different story with new NPCs, full-fledged quests and characters, as well as a new companion to accompany the inhabitants of the wastelands on their journey through the alleys of post-apocalyptic London.
For now Fallout: London is just one of the many excuses to replay this wonderful game, players should also know that there are thousands of other mods that add to the overall Fallout 4 experience and allow them to experiment while they wait A fable to be released. Perhaps the best way to play any Bethesda game that has mods is to follow some mod instructions and install some pre-made collections to avoid compatibility issues. But for players who want to experiment, the game has many “officially recognized” mods that can be downloaded from the game menu. Just be careful not to overdo it, as the GPU may explode.
5 Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster
A timeless masterpiece with an incredible story
Suicoden is an underrated JRPG with an engaging story and engaging combat mechanics, quirky characters, and beautiful classic design. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster brings all the good things of the two original games in the series, with an updated look, but with the same old good taste.
This is a great game to pass the time A fable will hit stores in 2025, and most importantly, it has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, composed by the legendary and talented Miki Higasino: one of the four pillars of video game music. Be that as it may, the whole Suicoden a franchise is a significant investment of time. The first two games don't take very long, the third and fourth increase the difficulty and complexity of the plot, and Suikoden 4 extremely grindy due to high collision frequency. The fifth game is a masterpiece and will trap players for hours.
