There’ve been fantastic CRPGs in the last handful of years. Off the top of my head: Divinity Original Sin 2 (2017), PoE/PoE2(2015/2018), Tyranny(2016), Torment: Tides of Numenera(2017), Pathfinder Kingmaker/WotR(2018/2021), and Disco Elysium1 (2019).
There’s definitely been a comeback, I feel like I’ve been eating good on that side for a while now.
1Play this game if you haven’t. It’s so fucking good
Easy, “K”. I could handle some yes, no, maybe with that.
k - ok, but I feel some type of way about this
kk - hell yeah, I’m down
kkk - this is bad and I don’t want it
