You might’ve forgotten, but a few months ago, on a cold February afternoon, we released a humongous infographic on the internet containing (what we then thought) a definitive list of the best RPGs.

How It All Began

We won’t lie to you – it took a lot of work. Like, a lot. Gathering the data, centralizing the titles, neatly categorizing each game in the appropriate place, and not to mention designing the infographic itself, took a lot of grind and sweat.

• 3 weeks to gather the initial data, researching, and talking to friends
• 1 week of proofreading and arguing with said friends about the differences between real-time with pause and turn-based games
• Several hours making research on the difference between high fantasy and low fantasy only to understand that there is no consensus in the media on either definition, and we’re free to accept whichever option we wish
• 2 days for our designer to come up with a structure that makes sense
• Hours upon hours to find all the information required
• 2 weeks of gathering your feedback and doubling the number of games
• Hours of our designer adding all them and alphabetizing all 500+ games per your request
• 1836 layers in the Photoshop file
• A full month of being proven wrong each day when I thought I knew a lot of RPG games

We Took Your Feedback Seriously

Little did we know back then that our work was far from finished. Turns out, there’s a lot of RPGs out there, so we’ve missed some of them. Others were included in the wrong category. So yeah, sorry for that.

So, to make it up to you guys, we’ve decided to update the infographic with more games and correct the mistakes. OK, ‘’more games’’ is putting it lightly – in its current form, it’s essentially double the infographic.

Of course, accomplishing this task would’ve been impossible without your help and constructive feedback, so we’d like to thank you all for your suggestions. Yes, even the ones who wished we’d suffer a horrible death for not including their favorite obscure 8bit RPG from 1981.
