15 Best RPGs Of The Decade

15. South Park: The Stick Of Truth

It would be remiss not to consider The Stick of Truth a surprising hit of 2014, but that's what it was. Considering how unequivocally bad almost every South Park game had been, expectations weren't high for this one.

Unlike previous titles, this one had the full support of series creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker, offering a brilliantly typical South Park script to go with it. Fully offensive, continually obscene, it is South Park at its best, and then some. But it was the gameplay that made it different than just watching any random episode of the show.

For all the grossness and [subjective] bad taste, there's a well crafted turn-based RPG in there too. Your character is a template for all of the South Park residents to bounce off of, with an impressive range of customisation and a high standard of combat and exploration in good measure.

It was the RPG that nobody expected to do well, by its own merit or in the same genre as the esteemed Final Fantasy's, but it certainly did.
