"Honestly speaking, I just don't know why this is such a thing," Yoshi-P quips during a Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest panel in Berlin, attended by GamesRadar+. He might not be a huge fan of the

10 Turn-Based RPGs You Can Play For 100 Hours Or More
There are tons of turn-based RPGs that you can dive right into and spend what feels like a lifetime playing, which can be a great feeling. Of course, the length of a game is a divisive topic. Not everyone enjoys 100-hour games, often opting for shorter titles that you can beat in a few hours.

It has proven rather difficult to usurp Baldur's Gate 3 as one of gaming's greatest RPGs, both in part due to its excellent foundations and the numerous updates developer Larian Studios delivered post-launch. BG3 fans have enjoyed a slew of new content since the game released, and have, for the most part, not needed to turn to any direct competitor, despite the game being nearly three years old at this point.
