Best RPGs On PS Plus

What are the best RPGs on PS Plus? With its three tiers of membership, PS Plus is now home to loads of quality role-playing games — or RPGs for short. In this guide, we're going to list the best RPGs available through PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, and the PS Plus Collection. For much more information on PS Plus as a whole, check out our All PS Plus Games guide, and make sure to grab Discounted PS Plus Subscriptions and PlayStation Wallet Top-Ups to play these great games for less.

RPGs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are much more traditional, featuring turn based combat and fairy tale storytelling, while others feature full-on action combat, and more modern sensibilities. What's more, the genre can often be split between Japanese RPGs, like Final Fantasy, and Western RPGs, like Fallout.

If you're looking for even more RPG recommendations, you can take a look at the following guides: Best RPGs on PS5, and Best PS4 RPGs. Both include long, varied lists of the best RPGs across Sony's most recent consoles.

Like our Best PS Plus Games list, the ratings and rankings of these RPGs is decided by the Push Square community. If your favourite RPGs aren't part of this list, you can use the search box below to rate them. You can also click the star icon next to each game on this list to apply your own rating. As such, this list will likely change over time, especially since some of these games may be removed from PS Plus, while other titles could get added.

Please note that a game must have at least 20 ratings for it to appear on this list.

40. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (PS5)

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot takes the entire story of Dragon Ball Z and spreads its across a kind-of-open world, complete with side quests, optional activities, and RPG mechanics. And thanks to developer CyberConnect2's clear appreciation for the property. it all works out a lot better than you might think. Kakarot actually manages to expand certain story beats and add some fun touches to many of the series' secondary characters, making it a must for fans of Akira Toriyama's timeless work.

39. Immortals Fenyx Rising (PS5)

Developed primarily by the team that crafted the gigantic Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open world fantasy RPG with an emphasis on fluid combat and puzzle solving. You play as the customisable Fenyx — a hero tasked with ridding the realm of a corruption spread by Typhon — a key figure in Greek mythology. In fact, Immortals is heavily based on Greek myth, but the story's told through humorous character interactions and offbeat narration. As such, it can be a fun adventure for players of all ages.

38. Child of Light (PS4)

Billed as a playable poem, Child of Light is a gorgeous RPG that combines a painterly art style with rhyming narration and an engrossing story. Still unique today, you can play this lovely game alone or with a buddy. Either way, there's so much to enjoy here, with enjoyable combat and so many wonderful sights and sounds along the journey.

37. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion (PS5)

Crisis Core remains as cheesy and cringy as ever on PS5, but it's a much more approachable game now thanks to this largely fantastic remaster from Square Enix. With a refined combat system and gameplay mechanics, alongside much-updated visuals, the Final Fantasy VII prequel is well worth playing if you're a fan of the series-within-a-series. Just try not to take the storytelling too seriously!

36. Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below (PS4)

35. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PS4)

34. Dead Island 2 (PS5)

It took nearly 10 years to materialise, but against all odds, Dead Island 2 is a great zombie-slaying adventure. Set in Los Angeles, you work your way through various open levels as you fend off the undead with a wide variety of weapons and abilities. The story isn't anything too special, but the game makes up for it with gloriously gory action and a rounded, well-realised setting. If you just want to smash open some zombie skulls, look no further.

33. Fallout 4 (PS4)

Fallout 4 may be found lacking in the role-playing department, but the gameplay loop is absolutely top notch. Post-apocalyptic Boston makes for an especially dense open world setting, packed with all kinds of secrets and irradiated enemies. Meanwhile, much improved gunplay allows combat to flourish once you've established a specific character build, and V.A.T.S. — the mechanic that lets you slow time to aim your shots — remains one of Bethesda's best ever innovations. Technical quibbles and some dumb storytelling aside, Fallout 4 can keep you busy for hundreds of hours.

32. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (PS5)

One of the most enduring games in history, Bethesda's iconic RPG comes to PS5 with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition. What's more, it's quite simply the best version of Skyrim to ever grace a PlayStation console. This is a real cut above previous versions (which were often riddled with bugs), offering a mostly locked 60 frames-per-second at 4K resolution. It's taken a decade, but Bethesda has finally delivered a smooth experience with this PS5 release — and crucially, the game is still a fantastic, enormous RPG well worth playing today.

31. Judgment (PS4)

A Yakuza spin-off of sorts, Judgment embraces the same general gameplay structure as SEGA's crime-filled series, but it adds a delicious detective spin to proceedings. Playing as rough and ready private detective Takayuki Yagami, you chase leads (sometimes literally), examine evidence, and question suspects. With a gripping story and a cast of excellent characters, Judgment is yet another win for Yakuza Studio, and its completely standalone narrative acts as a perfect starting point for those interested in the franchise.
