Gaming across generations: fantasy role-playing games

This time let’s take at one of the most popular game genres of all time. As we will see, almost everything changed in RPGs during these few past decades.

Betrayal at Krondor – 1993

Among many cRPGs, this gem from Dynamix truly stands out. The story in Betrayal at Krondor was based on the works by Raymond E. Feist and it showed, as the game had a truly epic, multi-layered narrative. Although its visuals might seem crude today, it was one of the first RPGs to give gamers relative freedom in exploring the vast open world it presented.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – 2017

Over two decades have passed, and the RPG landscape changed completely. Divinity: Original Sin 2 from Larian Studios not only offers us stunning visuals and a captivating story. You also have far bigger freedom in forming your party than in the past, as well as observing the evolving relations between its members. Throw in a cooperative multiplayer option and you’ll receive a truly enchanting face of modern role-playing games.
