Best RPG Games
This is the ranking of the best rpg games, sorted by iRank score: a 0-100 metric blending Steam reviews, IGDB ratings (community and critic), Metacritic, OpenCritic and the iRankGames community votes into a single number. Unlike opinion-based editorial lists, this order is computed from real data and applies a Bayesian shrinkage adjustment so games with few reviews can't inflate the top of the chart. Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Red Dead Redemption 2 lead the chart — the highest-rated titles in the genre according to our data. The top-25 average iRank is 92/100, out of 635 games catalogued. The ranking updates continuously as new reviews and votes come in.
