Over the last 15 years, we have had multiple fantasy RPG adjacent games that have become massively popular – record breaking critical and commercial success, sales well beyond what anything by that series/developer had managed before, multiple game of the year awards, and social media virality.
Obviously there have been several games even outside of this list in this time period that did well, but they have been kept from this list either because they are not fantasy (such as RDR2, Persona 5, or Cyberpunk 2077), or because they did not achieve the level of widespread acclaim that these games did (such as Metaphor ReFantazio, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth).
As far as these seven games go, you can argue they are among the seven best games that have come out in the last decade and a half. Which is your favorite, and why?
