The Best RPGs on Game Pass

Game Netflix, as Game Pass is often called, offers more and more titles from different genres. However, RPG fans have the biggest reasons to be happy. The offer doesn't lack both classics and new releases. And even completely offbeat indies.

Game Pass is an interesting platform for those who play often and like to play many different games at a time. In this case, the subscription service is a very beneficial solution. Game Pass lets us can enjoy unlimited access to most games all the time. Most of these are productions containing at least some RPG elements.

Microsoft makes sure that the library on Game Pass continues to grow. Therefore, both new and classic games appear regularly in the service. There are also quite a few of obscure indie games. This allows their creators to reach a wider audience, and players get more of that sweet variety. They can the games they never decided to buy in Game Pass, as a sort of bonus. This system works similarly to Netflix.

But what games should you choose? Here is the list of 20 best RPG games on Game Pass (including series).

Mass Effect – series

  1. Release year: 2007
  2. Developer: BioWare

Mass Effect games revolutionized the genre quite a few years ago. The first installment of BioWare's space opera showed that the combination of shooter and RPG works especially well in a science-fiction setting. The epic story created by the Canadian studio ushered the genre into a new era. There was none of the strenuous loot gathering, reloading the game even after winning a fight, or the need to repeat boring boss battles endlessly – all that was avoided in the first game.

Mass Effect 2 was a mechanical masterpiece that polished and refined the formula almost to perfection. The gameplay was pure pleasure. BioWare wizards served up an engaging and original story without unnecessary boredom, irksome interactions and repetitive side quests. Each character could boast an extremely interesting persona. Sure, some of the heroes were a bit too colorful, but after all, Shepard needed quite a team.

What delighted in the game was also the extremely skilful pacing. The calmer stages lasted long enough to prepare us for the adrenaline rush at the climax. Both in the context of one production and the entire series. The events really pick up the pace in part three (which is likely the best-optimized AAA game ever). And even if the ending seemed disappointing to many fans, Shepard's adventures are still incredibly fun to experience. Andromeda, also available in Game Pass, is another decent story in the universe.
