Top 10 2025 RPGs that you MUST play!

[@goofychopstix]

Dude Clair Obscur and Lost Souls Aside were two games I had not even heard about and am now highly intrigued by. Great job, thank you brother

[@HellFireRPGs]

Great to hear! Exactly why I make these videos 🙌

[@firebreather4192]

Awesome list! Trails FC Remake is my most anticipated game of 2025 as well. The backlog just keeps on growing...

[@HellFireRPGs]

Always so hard to get through them all. There's usually 1 or 2 that I miss out ok playing from my lists 😕

[@leviharris6944]

I would love to play more of the Trails series! I started with the first one, did something like 50 hours, had to drop off it for a bit and was completely lost when I came back. I haven't returned since, but with god knows how many games in the series, I think I have to call it. Maybe when I'm old and retired I can finally go through all 50 bajillion games. Loved what I played and loved the characters and story so much, but I just don't have the time!

[@pmtazekiel]

I can't wait for all these games. 2025 is going to be a lot of fun.

[@CaptainAmerica2k7]

Trails through Daybreak 2, Trails in the Sky Remake, Stellar Blade, FF 7 Rebirth, Kai No Kiseki. These are on my must buy lists for sure.

I'm going to pass on outer worlds 2, I bought the first game because I loved fallout New Vegas, and the outer worlds was one of the most boring games I ever played. And then whenever I look to see why it was so poorly written compared to fallout New Vegas I found out that everyone who worked on fallout New Vegas and pillars of eternity left obsidian. So hyping this up as it's made by the creators of those games is not really true. It's made by the studio, but the people are no longer there. Other than that I'm looking forward to every other game on your list

[@HellFireRPGs]

It was no New Vegas, but I still had some fun with it. Hopefullysome improvements this time around.

Nice video Mr Hellfire

[@Trace153]

Solid list sir, I would remove some and add Lost Hellden, Kingdom Come 2, Shadow of the Road (think this will be a sleeper gem), and I am back and forth on Avowed. Again though your list as always is very solid and even had me add one I didn’t know about “Lost Soul Aside” just now to my wish list.

[@HellFireRPGs]

Thanks mate. I'll probably be waiting to hear more on all of those. Will probably play Kingdome Come 2 on day 1 though, if not busy with something else.

[@uppernimbus]

Lost Souls Aside looks insane! I'm personally hyped for Xenoblade X the most, especially since that's the one Xenoblade game I've never played. Can't wait for some of these games though!

[@HellFireRPGs]

Xenoblade X was a load of fun. Best thing about the Wii U haha.

[@jackinthebox1993]

Claire obscura expedition 33 is the only RPG I'm really looking forward to. I just can't wrap my mind around anything else on this list

[@HellFireRPGs]

If I didn't love Sky FC so much then it would be there. Crazy that I'm so pumped for a new IP.

Отличный лист! Хорошее решение охватить весь жанр, а не только японские рпг (ибо так получился бы лист, полный ремастеров) Хотел бы назвать игру, которую я жду и которая не была названа в видео - kingdom come: deliverance 2. Прошел первую часть в этом году и остался от неё в полном восторге. Думал не понравится, так как слышал, что игра нишевая, не для всех, однако после первых неуверенных часов 10 начал получать удовольствие от игры - от ёе истории, боёв, сайд квестов, ролевой системы (в геймплейном плане). Провел в неё 100 часов и теперь вот жду вторую часть. Из того, что было названо в этом списке не, то о чём я совсем забыл - маскарад. Не играл в первую, но игра культовая и хочется познакомится, по крайней мере со второй частью. А так, как любитель JRPG жду: Atelier Yumia Trails Though Daybreak 2 Trails in Sky The Firts chapter Remake (Хотелось бы конечно увидеть что-нибудь от square-enix в следующем году помимо dq 1 и 2 (не интересно)) [Machine Translations]: Great list! Good decision to cover the whole genre, not just Japanese rpg's (because that would make a list full of remasters) I'd like to name a game I'm waiting for that wasn't named in the video. It's kingdom come: deliverance 2. I played the first part this year and absolutely loved it. I thought I wouldn't like it, because I heard that the game is niche, not for everyone, but after the first 10 hours I started to enjoy the game - its history, fights, side quests, role-playing system (gameplay-wise). Spent 100 hours in it and now I'm waiting for the second part. From what was named on this list but, something I completely forgot about is Vampire. I didn't play the first one, but the game is cult and I want to get acquainted, at least with the second part. Also, as a JRPG lover waiting: Atelier Yumia Trails Though Daybreak 2 Trails in Sky The Firts chapter Remake (I would like to see something from square-enix next year besides dq 1 and 2 (not interesting)).

[@HellFireRPGs]

Thanks for the comment. Never got around to playing kingdom come deliverance but always wanted to. Maybe I'll check the sequel out in 2025.

[@threeswordssama]

Outer worlds 2 looks incredible 😮

[@aspieatheist6040]

The new Suikoden games to be released next year will be remakes, not remasters. Suikoden I and II will be remade in 2D HD.

[@HellFireRPGs]

@aspieatheist6040 As nice as it would be, Unfortunately, the Suikoden games are only remasters (as the title literally states). All the same assets are being used with some visual enhancements to the existing backgrounds. HD2D refers to sprites on 3D backgrounds, which is not the case here.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@HellFireRPGs Actually, I think you'll find that the graphics are not the same ones used in the OGs. Not to say it's not a remaster, though - it's more remaster than remake, but they have remade a lot of the assets from scratch and/or heavily edited the originals in many areas. The facesets of Suikoden 1, for example, are all completely redone, as are a lot of the map tiles. Still wouldn't count as a remake, though, as it seems only the translation and graphics have been touched, not much of the gameplay itself (as far as we know). Just wanted to point that out. >.

never trust western rpgs
