I come back to these boards and then one day later Grimoire is released? Coincidence? I think not.

Yes. I'm slowly catching up to all releases and I will add games that I never listed.Welcome back! Does that mean you're going to update the OP with all the new goodies so lazy people like me can gaze longingly at a nice list of games I won't have time to play?
Searched the thread but no one has mentioned this game yet, "Tower of Time".
Came across it when I saw this article today by RPS and it's a good read.
I am excited to play the game when it comes out of early access later this year or early next year, I personally don't like playing RPGs while still in development.
Here's the Steam page. http://store.steampowered.com/app/617480/Tower_of_Time/
I've done several medium updates. I think the thread is mostly up to date, but I am certain I have missed some games. I don't mind getting some pointers in the right direction.
I have a question. There are several smaller games that always get announced or get updates. Making threads about them is usually pointless as they generate 5-50 posts. I am thinking of posting such updates here and generate some discussion. It's a thought.
Unfortunately, I had to remove descriptions form games and I have removed the expansions section. I need to be realistic and keep it to full games only.
I enjoyed Gothic 1-3. The same goes for Risen. I didn't enjoy Risen 2 as much as their previous games but still finished it. I own but have not yet played Risen 3.Is anyone here excited for Elex?
Looks rough, and the setting doesn't appeal to me but I've heard a few people say the dev team makes great RPGs. I've heard bad things about the risen series and then really good things about the Gothic series. Why do their modern RPGs look older than a decade? Whats holding them down?
Thoughts?
2 games I haven't seen: Ys SEVEN (PC) coming on August 30th (store page)I've done several medium updates. I think the thread is mostly up to date, but I am certain I have missed some games. I don't mind getting some pointers in the right direction.

I could do the descriptions myself. I also had made some descriptions and even used other descriptions written by other members. Unfortunately, my enemy Character Limit is rearing its ugly head. I'll come up with something.

Mario + Rabbids is currently absent, and I feel like that counts.I've done several medium updates. I think the thread is mostly up to date, but I am certain I have missed some games. I don't mind getting some pointers in the right direction.
I'm hoping it's a return to form for Piranha Bytes after the crappy Risen 2 and 3.
Phase based? Is that like your party acts then enemy party, then back to your party etc or am I confusing it with something else?
In the beta, I played as a brute, with all points invested in physical attributes. It works. You can pretty much build your character as you want.Is this still the thread to ask questions about rpgs that don't have their OT?
Anyway, I started playing Expeditions: Viking yesterday and I'd just like to know if I'm going to shoot myself in the foot by not getting Sense or Perception very high? I'm about to restart but my last character had 10 str, 8 end, 1 per, 1 fin, 9 sense, with focus on axes, shields and some diplomacy. I'm going to restart with 10 str, 10 end, 1 per, 1 fin and 7 fin with same skills.
Also, I really have to praise the devs for writing - again. Conquistador was already outstanding in this regard and Viking looks like it continues the tradition.
edit: OMG I just discovered that you can turn off lethal attacks and it actually has impact on how the events unfold. Now I'm really impressed.
Another quick question about Viking - do I need to outfit everyone in my expedition or only the people I actively use in combat? Iirc Conquistador had some surprises where active combat participants got shuffled in some cases but it also handled loot differently than this game.
I'm spending a ton of hides on good armor and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to outfit everyone and I'd really like to avoid any unpleasant surprises related to this.

You really should, it's a fantastic game and I'm surprised it's not talked about more.
I've got a question: Are people interested in a 2018 thread? I feel that there might not be big enough interest to warrant a thread next year. Opinions?
I think a 2018 thread would be valuable as I can't think of any RPG's coming out next year other then like Bard's Tale 4.
Is POE2 next year?
Given all manner of crazy things are likely to land in the remainder of this year, odds are next year is primed to be even crazier still to continue this fine and maddening trend as the genre surges with vigor~
Mephala: You should buy the first game, too.

Oh I found this game called Goken. Looks pretty cute and colourful. Bonus points for Linux support. Might buy to support the dev.

It was apparently in early access a while ago and reviews seem mostly positive so far. It even has stamina management (like in Dark Souls/Nioh/Monster Hunter)
It actually looks pretty decent. Art is nice, and the animations seem nice too. Not a fan of top down ARPG systems (would have preferred turn-based), but I might pick it up anyway.
I've got mixed feelings for top down action RPGs. Games like Diablo and Path of Exile aren't really something I look for. I enjoy them for a while but I can never get into it as much as others. One of the reviews casually commented that the combat was a bit "Ys-like" which made me cave and buy the thing. I'll post impressions when I get around to playing it.
Well I finished Vaporum, it gets the official old man Sinatar CRPG seal of approval. Definitely worth the $20 if you're into dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder or the Grimrock games.
