Baldur's Gate 3
Video game 2023

Baldur's Gate 3

Larian turns the rules of Dungeons & Dragons into a vast playground for experimentation where a dice roll, a conversation or an absurd idea can genuinely change the adventure.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a turn-based RPG set in the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons. Leading a group infected with mind flayer parasites, the player explores a world built around choices, systemic interactions and consequences, with a level of freedom rarely pushed this far in an RPG of such scale.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Video game 2025

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Sandfall Interactive turns the countdown of a doomed civilization into a French RPG where every combat turn demands as much thought as reflex.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows Gustave, Maelle and their companions on a desperate mission against the Paintress, an entity that condemns a new generation to disappear every year. Inspired by the French Belle Époque and major JRPGs, Sandfall Interactive's first game combines turn-based combat, real-time dodges and parries, surrealist art direction and a story centered on death, grief and what we choose to pass on.

God of War
Video game 2018

God of War

Santa Monica Studio brings the camera closer to Kratos to better reveal what the series had until then almost always hidden behind his anger: a man trying to learn how to become a father.

God of War follows Kratos and his son Atreus on a journey through the lands of Norse mythology to fulfill Faye's final wish. By leaving Greece, the distant camera and part of its former frenzy behind in favor of more physical combat, semi-open exploration and a father-son relationship at the center of the story, Santa Monica Studio profoundly reinvents its series without erasing what made Kratos who he is.

Hogwarts Legacy : L'Héritage de Poudlard
Video game 2023

Hogwarts Legacy : L'Héritage de Poudlard

Avalanche Software finally opens the doors of a freely explorable Hogwarts and turns the dream of attending wizarding school into a vast open-world action RPG.

Hogwarts Legacy : L'Héritage de Poudlard transports the player into the wizarding world at the end of the 19th century, long before the adventures of Harry Potter. Between magic classes, exploration of Hogwarts, combat, fantastic creatures and ancient secrets, Avalanche Software above all builds an immense experience of immersion in a universe long dreamed of but rarely explored with this much freedom.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Video game 2011

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Bethesda Game Studios turns a frozen province into an adventure where a silhouette beyond a mountain can still make you forget the quest you meant to follow.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes the player to the northern province of Skyrim as dragons return and civil war pits the Empire against the Stormcloaks. As the Dragonborn, the player can follow this prophecy or simply wander elsewhere: guilds, dungeons, magic, crafting, exploration, homes, vampires, dragons and mods have made Skyrim one of the most enduring open-world RPGs of its era.
