10 Best Hidden Gem RPGs Of The Last 10 Years

10. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Hardcore RPGs have always been a hard sell among mainstream audiences for obvious reasons. While Dark Souls is easy enough to learn once you sit down and dedicate yourself to it (and VERY good at making you WANT to do so, at that) games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance never managed to thread that needle, leading to it falling by the wayside.

However, if you like your RPGs to be as realistic as possible, then this is a game you need to track down.

Set during the actual middle ages of Europe, the game follows a blacksmith as he struggles to complete a sword delivery for the local king. So it's basically Fallout: New Vegas but with a lot more feces.

Yes, if you have heard of this game then you've likely heard that Kingdom Come's most striking innovation is its constant awareness of your character's appearance when engaging in conversation, and having that play into how folks react to you. So if you roll up covered in a mix of blood and crap, the guards are uh... less than likely to let you into the city.

If that sounds interesting to you, then check Kingdom Come out on Steam.
