Scarlet Nexus is a game that often goes on sale, and it’s quite honestly, a must-play simply because of its dual story with two protagonists, Yuito and Kasane, who have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity’s last line of defense.

Embark upon an epic adventure as The Luminary: the chosen one in a world that vows to hunt him down in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age. This extensive JRPG was originally released on the PS4.
However, what we’re looking at is the Definitive Edition, which allows players to experience extra character-specific scenarios, the choice of playing with the original soundtrack or a grand orchestral version of the music, the ability to switch between 2D and 3D graphic modes, a Japanese voice-acting option, and much more. And like many Dragon Quest games, Dragon Quest XI features its own isolated story, without any need to know previous games to enjoy it.
8. One Piece Odyssey

During the Straw Hat Crew’s voyage, they are caught in a storm and shipwrecked. And Luffy ends up separated from his crew, so it is up to him to reunite with his friends. Even if you’ve never watched the over 1000 episodes of the anime or read the manga, One Piece Odyssey still manages to be enjoyable with its story.
9. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless

If you’re looking for a rather…chaotic and funny RPG, then look no further than the latest iteration of the Disgaea series, which is Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless.

So players can dominate the field in style without needing a PhD in battle mastery.
