Now obviously we have things like the GOTY threads with ratings and such, but I wanted to get your perspective and ratings on some handpicked choices of the newer or newest RPGs that's been released. It's more interesting to see actual poster ratings, than just anonymous aggregated results, rite?

So rate these on a 1-10 scale.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance:
ELEX:
Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar:
Prey:
Tyranny:
Divinity Original Sin 2:
Divinity Original Sin 1:
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided:
The Witcher 3:
Torment: Tides of Numenera:
Age of Decadence:
Underrail:
Wasteland 2:
Pillars of Eternity:
Fallout 4:

Edit: Added Grimoire! ;)

KCD: yet to finish it but I'm liking it very much, so it's almost certainly gonna be positive, probably 8 or more
ELEX: 7,5
Prey: it's not an rpg but 9
Tyranny: 6,5
Divinity: Original Sin: 8,5
Divinity: Original Sin 2: like KCD I still have to finish it, but I was liking it and I think I'll probably rate it similarly to the first one
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: 7,5
The Witcher 3: 9,5
Torment: Tides of Numenera: 5
Age of Decadence: 8
Wasteland 2: 5
Pillars of Eternity: 8,5

They're not in the OP but I think the three Shadowruns should've been there. I'd give 7 to Returns, 9 to Dragonfall and 8 to Hong Kong.

My ratting of these RPGs:



Seriously now, Dragonfall is the only really good nu-RPG for me, and it is not even on the list. The rest range from meh to awful, though I didn't play a couple of them at all.

KCD: KFC? I love KFC!

Grimoire: awesome! Still getting my ass kicked so cant review yet, but really cool game...:incline:
Torment: Tides of Numenera: looks booooring...wont play
Age of Decadence::incline: recently started new play-through with Loremaster. Got so good at combat that I killed all enemies in the first area! The C&C/skill checks are super exciting and scratches my Fallout-bone (read: it's awesome).
Underrail (8/10): :incline: Fuck a great game! (which I discovered thanks to Codex Bros:love:). Maybe a bit too long, started getting boring towards the end. And having played AoD, it could have had more skill-checks to be perfect.

Wasteland 2: played around 5H. So far pretty cool.
Pillars of Eternity: Havent played yet, but bought White March expansions and plan Path of the Damned playthrough
Fallout 4: fuck off :argh::decline:

Hallo :salute:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance: I'll start playing today (waited for gog release). amount of cutscenes is rather disturbing.
ELEX: nope thanks, I'll just keep playing Gothic 1
Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar: too fucking expensive :argh:
Prey: I'll maybe buy it if it's heavily discounted. System Shock 2 satisfies my sci-fi/horror-RPG needs.
Tyranny: imo muuuuuuuuuuch better than PoE 7/10
Divinity Original Sin 2: :argh:
Divinity Original Sin 1: meh
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: inferior to Deus Ex 1 in every possible way
The Witcher 3: too many cutscenes. bad combat. but an enjoyable time sink 5/10
Torment: Tides of Numenera: best game of all time 100/10
Age of Decadence: great and should be played by everyone 9/10
Underrail: inferior to Fallout 1 in every possible way and it's not even a competition 2/10
Wasteland 2: just slightly above average 6/10
Pillars of Eternity: nice try I guess but ...... 4/10
Fallout 4: :prosper:

I demand that the OP rates his own list ! :ehue:

Here's my own rating:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance: N/A
ELEX: N/A
Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar: 6 - Not really my thing, but it was ok for the most part
Prey: 9 - I really really enjoyed this game, and I recently finished it. Top notch.
Tyranny: 5.5 - I was very disappointed by Tyranny, and as such, I can't rate it higher.
Divinity Original Sin 2: 7.5 - Ultimately enjoyed this game much more than 1, but it still has alot of problems and flaws
Divinity Original Sin 1: 6 - I really didn't enjoy the first game, other than the combat
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: 6.5 - Ok for what it is.
The Witcher 3: N/A
Torment: Tides of Numenera: 6.5 - Disappointing, but has some pretty good parts, especially in terms of the overall story
Age of Decadence: 9 - Generally a very good cRPG, with a few annoying things
Underrail: 9.5 - Excellent cRPG all around, with very minor annoying things
Wasteland 2: 7.5 - Solid all-around experience, though lacking in several areas of game design
Pillars of Eternity: 7 - Solid and decent experience, though the combat was fucking bad.
Fallout 4: 4 - Well it's fallout 4, what did you expect. It had SOME ok/decent parts, which is why it gets a 4

Prey: 3
Tyranny: 8
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: 7
The Witcher 3: 9
Torment: Tides of Numenera: 8
Age of Decadence: 8
Wasteland 2: 6
Pillars of Eternity: 9
Fallout 4: 2 (doesn't quite get a zero given that it actually runs as a game, has original assets, and looks and sounds quite good. Everything else is utter shit)
