Top 25 Best Turn-Based RPGs of 2025 - GOTY Picks

It’s time to close the book on 2025, and what a year it’s been. The last twelve months have been fantastic for turn-based RPGs; with so many epic adventures available, it’s hard to find time to play them all. It was such a good year, in fact, that I couldn’t just do a Top 10 or Top 20. Fittingly for 2025, there are no less than 25 turn-based RPGs that deserve special recognition this year. Honestly, I could probably have done even more, but I had to cut it off somewhere. How many of these standouts have you played? #turnbased #rpg #goty Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:34 Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/10... 02:04 Fretless (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/24... 03:04 Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (PC, PlayStation, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33... 05:04 Kingdoms of the Dump (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/21... 06:27 The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy (PC, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/30... 08:39 Suikoden I&II HD Remaster (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/19... 11:20 Look Outside (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33... 12:14 Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked (PC, PlayStation) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/31... 13:40 Dark Deity 2 (PC, PlayStation, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/24... 15:14 Octopath Traveler 0 (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/30... 17:11 Quartet (PC, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/13... 18:27 Digimon Story Time Stranger (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/19... 20:22 Artis Impact (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/18... 21:42 LUNAR Remastered Collection (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/32... 22:50 Dice Gambit (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/18... 24:06 Super Robot Wars Y (PC, PlayStation, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/19... 24:43 Demonschool (PC, PlayStation, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/19... 25:41 Citizen Sleeper 2 (PC, PlayStation, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/24... 27:13 Lords of Ravage (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/18... 28:45 Maliki: Poison of the Past (PC, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/28... 30:15 Cyber Knights: Flashpoint (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/10... 31:16 Dragon Quest I&II HD 2D Remake (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/28... 32:38 Rue Valley (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/21... 34:09 The Use of Life (PC) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/14... 35:16 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/19... 36:20 Outro ❤️ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @turnbasedlovers   🔔 WEBSITE & TWITCH Website: https://turnbasedlovers.com Twitch channel:   / turnbasedlovers
