    [​IMG]UnleashtheGamer has a large infographic of the best 500 RPGs from the last 40 years.

    You might've forgotten, but a few months ago, on a cold February afternoon, we released a humongous infographic on the internet containing (what we then thought) a definitive list of the best RPGs.

    How It All Began

    We won't lie to you - it took a lot of work. Like, a lot. Gathering the data, centralizing the titles, neatly categorizing each game in the appropriate place, and not to mention designing the infographic itself, took a lot of grind and sweat.

    • 3 weeks to gather the initial data, researching, and talking to friends
    • 1 week of proofreading and arguing with said friends about the differences between real-time with pause and turn-based games
    • Several hours making research on the difference between high fantasy and low fantasy only to understand that there is no consensus in the media on either definition, and we're free to accept whichever option we wish
    • 2 days for our designer to come up with a structure that makes sense
    • Hours upon hours to find all the information required
    • 2 weeks of gathering your feedback and doubling the number of games
    • Hours of our designer adding all them and alphabetizing all 500+ games per your request
    • 1836 layers in the Photoshop file
    • A full month of being proven wrong each day when I thought I knew a lot of RPG games
    [...]
