(That’s a leading question; the answer is always “Nothing.”)
For this reason, we have selected three RPG games that you should definitely not miss in the Steam Winter Sale 2018.
Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition
If you like RPGs, you can’t avoid the “Final Fantasy” series in your life. Especially the latest single-player installment is a unique one, even for the colorful FF series, which can be exciting because of that fresh wind.
What is Final Fantasy XV about? As the prince of his kingdom, Noctis doesn’t take his life too seriously. He enjoys it to the fullest and travels across the world – until his father’s kingdom is suddenly attacked and conquered. With his long-time friends by his side, he travels the world in a best “Road Trip” manner, trying to unearth the machinations of the invading empire, rescue his promised girlfriend, and meanwhile keep titanic powers in check.
Who is Final Fantasy XV suitable for? If you love a lot of freedom in an open world, getting lost in side quests, exploration trips, or just relaxing drives in the car (as the characters travel by car), then Final Fantasy XV is just right for you. Although the main story of the game is somewhat shorter than in other FF titles, the impressive staging and the enormous scope provided by side quests make up for it.
What does Final Fantasy XV cost? The price of Final Fantasy XV – Windows Edition is currently reduced by 50%. Instead of €50, you can get the RPG hit for just €24.99. The PC version already includes all released DLCs, for which console players had to pay extra.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
The Legend of Heroes. Trails of Cold Steel is a console port that has been praised to the heavens by fans and critics alike. A “typical” JRPG that has also managed to captivate non-Japanese fans.
What is The Legend of Heroes about? The “Legend of Heroes” series repeatedly deals with the “Erebonian Empire”, a dark superpower that is at the center of many conflicts. In “Trails of Cold Steel”, as a member of the empire, one gets a first glimpse behind the political machinations of the empire and finds oneself in the midst of political intrigues – even though the hero Rean Schwarzer is still attending military academy. Friendships and loyalties are formed, rewarded with exciting stories and new abilities.
Who is The Legend of Heroes suitable for? If you like JRPGs, you can’t miss The Legend of Heroes, but even genre newcomers should give it a shot. The turn-based combat system is tactical, and the story draws everyone in after a short time. “Trails of Cold Steel” is currently one of the highest-rated games on Steam. 96% positive votes in total and 99% positive in the last 30 days – an absolute hit.
What does The Legend of Heroes cost? The price of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is currently reduced from €40 to €23.99. Thus, you save a hefty 40%. This is also a good tip as a Christmas gift if a fanatic RPG friend is not yet aware of the title…
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt
The third installment of the Witcher series is considered a masterpiece and a list of RPGs without this game would indeed be a sin. So it’s not surprising that it appears again this time.
What is The Witcher III about? As a witcher, Geralt is viewed suspiciously by most people, as his kind is only good for killing monsters and always brings chaos. But in times of war, witchers like him are increasingly needed, as more and more dark creatures appear. Oh, and on top of that, he also needs to find Ciri, a young lady announced by ancient prophecies who could change the fate of the world. But you can sometimes forget this in the numerous side missions, which can easily keep you occupied for 100 hours or more…
Who is The Witcher III suitable for? If you enjoy an adult, dark story, love a brutal world and simply like sending dark creatures back to hell, you should take a closer look at this title. The numerous details of the open game world, countless side quests, and many choices make The Witcher III a brutal but very convincing RPG. Our review of it can be read here.
What does The Witcher III cost? The “Game of the Year” version of Witcher III is currently available for the low price of €19.99 instead of the usual €50 and also includes the two major DLCs “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine”, which add dozens of hours of content.
