Alright, so I feel like I should make a poll solely devoted to games released in the first half of the year, because nobody remembers those and they mostly vote for whatever is flavour of the month when we have these polls.

...But I can't remember any.

Did any good RPGs not named Sekiro release then?
If Sunless Skies counts as a RPG... :^)

I think it is, but the gameplay is, let's say it, uneven.

Ohhh yeah baby,we are going to get two more soulless games in the face of nu vampire and BG3 lol. I envy your optimism.
That and Punkpunk and Co-opland 3. As I said, exciting times ahead.
M&B: Butterlord too. There's more than enough instant classics and disasters lined up to keep us entertained throughout the entirety of 2020. This year has been one of revisiting last year's bountiful RPG offerings, because as amazing as they are now, many of them were barely playable at release.

What a garbage fucking year this was

For RPG's pretty much.
Other genres got more love this year.

What good games were released? I don't really pay attention.

Looking at a list of games released in 2019 I suppose there is Sekiro but the rest mostly looks like big pile of dogshit.

Sekiro, while good, is the weakest game From has made so far.
As for good games released this year (without counting Sekiro), you have:
-REmake 2
-Devil May Cry 5
-Pathologic 2
-Sunless Skies
-Bloodstained: Ritual of the Nigth
-Outward
-Mordhau
-Outer Wilds
-Ion Fury
-AMID EVIL
-Samurai Shodown
-Code Vein
-A Legionary's Life

Not as good as 2017 or 2018, but still better than 2012 to 2014

Was Sunless skies really an improvement over sunless seas?

Voted Anthem because that's the only one that was fun... to read about. Discommunism sucks and is bad design, TOW is mediocre and the rest is big meh.

Just noticed the absence of Pathologic 2.
It is not really an rpg.
Pathologic 2 vs Disco Elysium:
- both have dialogues with different outcomes;
- both have relatively linear stories BUT with c&c in sidequests;
- both have inventories and equipment with stats;
- P2 has combat, looting, survival mechanics, reputation system, and even crafting;
- Disco has skillchecks with dicerolls;
- P2 has Mind map;
- Disco has Thought cabinet.

i think those two games are about on par with each other in their RPGness.

Well, if P2 and Disco are not RPGs so fuck your "RPGs".
Dsico have stats and leveling,P2 doesn't.

What about Codex favourite C&C shit?
The fuck i care about some retards sperging on about it? It is not something that defines an rpg,but it is a nice addition.

P2 is disqualified on the lack of RP, while DE is disqualified on the lack of G.

And you & fantadomat are disqualified on the lack of taste.

Seriously why there are no obscure 2D pixel art RPG gems made by underground scene grognards, which are populating steam in hundreds? Only popularfag/mainstreamfag titles i see.
But on a more serious note, seriously why no one had time/knowledge to check steam for RPG gems? We need to hire full time monkey ASAP on this task!

I don't really care about steam and its endless stream of unity engine rip off garbage that is produced every month. If you actually have a quality recommendation,then just give it and will add it.
