Several outlets have reported on the best role-playing games of 2025, with some listing a single top game and others providing ranked lists or categories such as strategy RPGs. The specific games mentioned as being among the best of 2025 include Clair Obscur and Avowed, although it is unclear if either is universally considered the top RPG.
