Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the greatest modern CRPGs of all time. The sheer amount of love poured into this game is undeniable, making it clear why fans can't get enough of the adventures in this game, as the heroes struggle to remove the illithid parasite that has wormed its way into their brains.

To want games that are similar to Baldur's Gate 3's legacy is a tall order, but some upcoming games may scratch this itch. From promising CRPGs to role-playing games made by Japanese developers, there's no shortage of quality games that fans can check out in this genre.

Final Fantasy Tactics is arguably the best spinoff in the series, which is why fans are looking forward to seeing the Ivalice Chronicles remake. The tactical combat was surprisingly challenging and took players by surprise at the time, especially since they were used to the relatively easier turn-based combat of the main franchise.

Fans of the tactical and calculating combat in Baldur's Gate 3 will find Final Fantasy Tactics right up their alley. It helps that the story is just as engaging as the gameplay, making it a perfect introduction into the beautiful world of Ivalice for many players.

Bloodlines 2 has been delayed so many times that fans can hardly believe it's actually coming out this year. It has some massive shoes to fill, given the depth of the first game's role-playing mechanics and how tight everything felt... Until Troika Games ran out of money and had to slap things together hastily near the end.

If Bloodlines 2 manages to live up to its promise, then fans will enjoy the best RPG to come out since Baldur's Gate 3. This is unlikely, but even a decent attempt at a sequel is bound to satisfy fans of Vampire: The Masquerade, who feel that this TTRPG deserves more love in the gaming landscape.

If Baldur's Gate 3 loved the impressive choice-consequence system of this title, then it's a no-brainer that they're also looking forward to The Witcher 4.
