"Role-playing games showcase videogaming at its most ambitious, placing you in the shoes of a protagonist who must grow, interact with other characters, battle monsters, learn skills and explore the landscape. They offer everything from high-fantasy epics to science-fiction showstoppers and take you on adventures that can move you to your core. Here, we will celebrate everything the genre has to offer, from its small but ambitious beginnings to the world dominance it holds today."
