Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

Launch Date: 5th June 2018

Made by: Neocore Games

Description: Even though Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor Martyr was a disappointment for some people, we still believe it deserves a spot on the list. The game lets you rock the Warhammer 40k universe as a deadly assassin, powerful psychic or an armored behemoth.

The story lets you play as an Inquisitor who’s main job is to hunt and eliminate any enemy who oppose the God-Emperor’s rule. The acting is so well done that its a shame this game didn’t had a more interesting gameplay. The RPG is a bit repetitive and there aren’t many tactics you can use against the enemies. But despite of that, its a beautiful RPG and the fans of Warhammer 40,000 will surely enjoy it. As old fans of Warhammer 40,000 – we believe it deserves a spot on the best RPGs of 2018.

The main character is a physician that recently turned into a vampire, Dr. Jonathan Reid. The dialog, action and gameplay will make you feel the character and understand its pain.

The game have a lot of potential and a really engaging story. The gameplay is fun, enjoyable but a bit dark for some players. The best thing about it is that it reflects the period fairly accurate – as the game is full of sexism, classism, racist and xenophobia. Nevertheless, its entertaining and addicting and it surely deserves a spot on the best RPGs of 2018.

The game have a beautiful open-world where you can sail, fly and fight with your enemies. The gameplay is engaging and the story will definitely make you feel like you’re a part of it.

The main issue of this game is the fact that the side missions needs to be completed before finishing the main story, as the main story requires you to have a certain level to move on. Here Ubisoft wants to make you pay money in order to level up easier and move on with the story – so micro-transactions. But if you put that aside, the game of one of the best open-world RPGs that you ever played. The reason why this game is #4 on the best RPGs of 2018 list is the fact that micro-transactions are available and there are a few bugs in the combat system.
