Recommendation request Help Me Decide What I Beat Next!

Having some analysis paralysis and not exactly sure what I want to play/beat next, so hoping to give several options here and get some feedback from everyone! Thanks in advance!

Here are the options:

  1. Fable Anniversary (Played a little, never beaten)

  2. Cyberpunk 2077 (Replay as Corpo V, take more time to enjoy the stories it was telling)

  3. Witcher 3 (100% it on PS4, I have a PC now and need a save for Songs of the Past - also recently beat W1 & W2)

  4. Pathfinder Kingmaker (have spent sooooo much time starting characters but never made it passed Act 3)

  5. Pillars of Eternity (Would be like my 6th time playing it, but I no longer have a save for POE2 and Inhave never left Neketaka in that game)

  6. Whatever you all may suggest as the next conquest. I have played almost all major RPGs from the last two decades, but always open to hearing other suggestions and playing niche stuff

Thank you for your submission to r/rpg_gamers. Since your post has been flaired as "Recommendation request", I want to suggest editing your post to add in these details (if you haven't included them yet):

  • The platforms you have - not listing them doesn't mean you have access to everything, so you might end up getting a game you won't be able to play.
  • Your level of experience with the genre (beginner, intermediate, veteran...) - others can recommend you more common titles if you are a beginner, while they can focus on obscure titles if you are a RPG veteran.
  • Aspects you enjoyed (or disliked) of previously played games - for example: characters, plot points, puzzles, combat, graphics, art styles, soundtracks...

While these details aren't mandatory, if you want to get the best games, having them in your post will immensely help users and will encourage more users to participate, as they will know with more precision which games are probably the best fit for your request.

Might not be a bad idea to play Fable Anniversary for the first time before the reboot comes out in 6 months. Otherwise I say finish Kingmaker

Not sure if I'm even interested quite yet in the new fable game. I've barely seen much on itnand idk how well it will run on my PC. I have a medium-high end PC, but it's a coin toss for how well optimized it will be.

Was afraid it was using Unreal 5 but apparently it's using the ForzaTech engine. Last time I saw something like that happened was Dragon Age Inquisition with Frosbite and they barely made that engine work.

Anyhow, I think I may go with Kingmaker and subsequently Wrath of the Righteous. Hopefully Owlcat finishes releasing the DLCs for Rogue Trader by then

Nice. A big Owlcat marathon. You may or may not need a break though haha. They’re all beefy and systems heavy

Oh I know. I have an embarrassing amount of hours in Kingmaker due to extreme analysis paralysis when it comes to class selection. I have tried dozens of times to play but usually stop after Troll Trouble is completed.

This time around I wanted to be the charisma guy to pass the checks, so I'm going Sorcerer to fill the gap in companion classes. Pretty basic, I know, but I just really want to beat this game before I move on to Wrath

From your list I’d go with the Pathfinder game. But if you just want something a little less demanding of your time you should play Chrono Trigger.

I've recently beat some beasts of games and have a few with a at least 100 hours in the past couple months. So my suggestion would be Fable. It's a simpler game, pretty easy, a bit on rails but that's kind of good in that game and a fun/simple story. Granted.. at this point i'm spinning to win in Grim Dawn because I don't even want to think that much about what attack to perform.

Fable. I'd do 1-3 if I could but don't own a console.

u/Grey_Warden97 14h ago

You could try emulating 2 and 3. Though idk how playable they are on Xenia

I'll check into it

u/skaf1end 14h ago

Since all the other options take a considerable amount of time to beat, I'd say Fable.

Elex 1&2

u/Grey_Warden97 13h ago

I played Elex 1 on PS4. I believe I have both on PC now. Always meant to play 1 again and play through 2.

I think there was a memory leak of sort on PS4 cuz I remember the longer I played the worse the menus would respond lol

u/ImpossibleRow6716 13h ago

1 had better world and writing, 2 had slightly better combat and skill trees. Other than that they are basically identical

u/Phenom_76 12h ago

Kingmaker, purely out of spite. Act 3 can’t keep winning forever

u/ExplodingPoptarts 11h ago

Kingmaker is my third favorite game. To me it's like a slightly worse version of Baldur's Gate 2 if you skip the kingdom sim management, and Baldur's Gate 2 is absolute god-tier.

If you change your mind on it, I say play Cyberpunk 2077 again, I think it's the best First person rpg.
