Want a long RPG journey with a large party and real time battles? Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is one to follow, whether you missed the original or are considering a return. The story and party combat are the core attraction. Would this be your first trip through its world or a reason to revisit it?

Is building the team your favourite part of an RPG? DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World centres on befriending monsters, raising them and using synthesis to create new ones. Bianca and Nera lead the adventure, but your monster combinations are the draw. Would you build around favourite creatures or keep combining them to discover something new?

Looking for an RPG where the journey and your companions matter? Edge of Memories follows Eline, a travelling Soul Whisperer, as she fights alongside allies to protect Avaris from a corruption that transforms living things into monsters. Its nomadic world gives the adventure a distinct setting. Does a memorable world or a strong party draw you in first?

If fast swordplay is what pulls you into an action RPG, keep an eye on Phantom Blade Zero. You play Soul, a warrior trying to uncover a conspiracy while being hunted through a dark wuxia world. Martial arts and a desperate personal story are the main draw. What matters more to you: mastering the fights or unravelling the mystery?

You can hunt alone or team up with friends. If the planning and teamwork are what you love, who would be in your hunting squad?

Loot is one reason to explore a dungeon. Bringing people home is another. Emberville connects its underground battles with rescuing survivors and rebuilding a ruined town, giving your adventures something visible to work toward. Its planned Early Access launch is worth watching if you enjoy combat alongside restoration. Would the dungeon or the town keep you coming back?

ReBlade demo fixes two bugs that could stop a run, tones down Crossbow Soldiers and pulls Halberd Soldiers for now.

Ever wanted your own place in the Warrior Cats world? Clans of the Forest lets you create a cat, explore the Lake Territories, hunt and take on quests that build your standing within a Clan. For readers who imagined their own warrior, that is the draw. Which Clan would your cat call home?

The boss Heluo really pulled me in!

I played the ReBlade: The Death Spiral demo during Steam Next Fest. The combat is fast, the dodge is quick, the slow motion is a wow moment, and the boss Heluo kept me coming back.

What if every monster you beat could change how you fight? Stupid Never Dies lets Davy steal enemy abilities and modify his zombie body while pushing through a dungeon to revive Julia. The hook is experimenting with what you take from your enemies. Would you keep a favourite ability or constantly try something new?

I played the ArcheAge Chronicles Steam Next Fest demo as a Mage, beat the Herald Knight and explored a world that looks better than most MMORPGs. The dodge felt slow.
