Best 2025 Video Games for Action RPG fans

#1 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
5.0

Action RPG fans can enjoy the real-time dodges, parries, and harder difficulty options within a turn-based structure. The combination preserves planning while rewarding reflexes.

Pros: narrative quality, combat system

Cons: map and navigation design, menu usability

#2 Hades II
4.5

Players drawn to responsive action and build experimentation are strongly encouraged to try it. Enjoyment still depends on accepting the repeated-run structure.

Pros: overall quality, combat system

Cons: pacing, grind level

#3 Enshrouded
4.3

The later combat and build systems make this an appealing survival RPG for action fans. An earlier assessment warns that combat-first players may find its depth below dedicated action games.

Pros: town-building system, overall quality

Cons: grind level, AI behavior
