Offline RPG (role-playing game) developers are continually raising the bar for releases. With innovations that shift gameplay to a large extent without changing the fundamentals, the RPG genre has continued to remain relevant all these years.
The PC platform contains some of the most influential RPGs in gaming history. RPGs place players in the shoes of a fictional character in a fictional setting. Game series like The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls are still reverberating in the industry because of their great leaps and bounds. With many RPGs on the way, it seems all but likely the best is to come. For now, let’s take a look at the leading offline PC RPGs.
10 Hades
Finally, this game is out of early access, and players can grind it out in this hack and slash RPG. Hades takes players to the Underworld, where they defy Hades’s ruling as the Prince of the Underworld. You play as an immortal character in this rogue-like. When you die, you are brought back to a hub to improve your character with permanent upgrades. Hades takes after games like Dead Cells and Diablo 3 but offers unique content to relish.
9 Dragon Age: Inquisition
While the previous Dragon Age games had more linear level designs, Dragon Age: Inquisition was inspired by open-world games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Developer BioWare did a great job of listening to its fanbase since the release of Dragon Age II. Although there is an option for multiplayer, Dragon Age: Inquisition can be played entirely offline. The single-player mode is separate from the game’s four-player co-op.
8 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
The Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is two remastered Final Fantasy classics as part of one collection. It contains Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 and bonus content previously found only in the games’ international versions.
The collection can be criticized for merely being a remaster and not a remake from the ground-up, but it’s also a phenomenal way to play the two classic RPGs. Undoubtedly, the graphics have improved, and the sound quality is better than the originals.
7 Dark Souls III
The third entry in the Dark Souls game series might not be as difficult as its predecessors, but it brings enough to be considered a standout title. Dark Souls III is set in the Kingdom of Lothric, where the protagonist seeks to return the Lords of Cinder to their thrones and rekindle the First Flame. This premise brings the player to the darkest places, where they must battle formidable bosses and enemies. As a game that is constantly testing your skill, Dark Souls III is a must-play!
6 The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
While many people’s go-to The Elder Scrolls game is Skyrim, Morrowind is considered a timeless adventure that has hardly aged. The graphics are not on par, which does hurt immersion, but the game has arguably better storytelling. It offers a more significant challenge than Skyrim, so you may want to play it afterward. Putting the nostalgia factor aside, Morrowind is an objectively fun RPG played entirely offline.
5 Fallout: New Vegas
Diving further into Fallout: New Vegas, players get a sense of the scale of this game. The quality of the writing and the scale of the game are masterful, making this a must-play. As an RPG, it offers dialogue options that let you influence the events of the game. Fallout: New Vegas was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (not Bethesda Softworks), yet the game is somehow on equal footing or better than the mainline games.
4 Mass Effect 2
The Mass Effect series is recognized for its acclaimed RPGs. As a game recognized for being one of the best RPGs of all time, Mass Effect 2 is an offline sensation. The weapon customization, dialogue options, and romance possibilities put this game up there with the greatest RPGs.
Once again, players play as Commander Shepard, a human whose background is chosen by the player. This protagonist, who can be a male or a female, appears in the first Mass Effect trilogy.
3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a critically acclaimed RPG with tremendous replay value. Quests regenerate, meaning there is almost no end to the game. Exploring the game’s medieval towns, players sense the scale of the world. Each town is filled with small nuances that add to the game’s overall enjoyability. Skyrim is offline only and available on the PC platform.
2 Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition
Credited for spawning a new subgenre, Dark Souls is a leading offline PC RPG. Although the game does have online capabilities, that won’t stop many players from soloing the entire game. Co-op play works to your advantage as the enemies do not get harder. For the most grueling and rewarding experience, however, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is best played offline.
1 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The bright minds at CD Projekt Red are continually innovating with their latest games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was an ambitious project with a high payoff. The quests are immersive, and the game has a robust progression system consisting of character development and levels. Although the game doesn’t give you many stat bonuses, your character improves through worn gear. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a standout RPG title played entirely offline.
