Here you have landed in the HQ of Thalictrum, where open world RPG games are bread and butter. Here we do comprehensive reviews on the most popular and prevalent titles that have come out in recent years and some classics of the past.
Brief History of the RPG Genre
RPGs, or Role Playing Game, had their beginnings as board games or in a paper version. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the popularity of these games increased. Players had the ability to embody one or more characters during a game and to evolve them during the game. All the players conceived and participated together during the development of fiction, each one playing a defined role in a simulation. His adventure evolved depending on the narration and the limitations of the game that would be imposed on him.
At the end of the 90s, video games lived a period of apogee. The field of video games was professionalized and the developers of these showed their great creativity and power of invention. In this context, many RPGs are created to be played on computers. An example of this is the game Wasteland, released in 1988 by the Interplay society, and which consisted of an open world RPG game developed in a post-apocalyptic universe, whose primary objective was to survive.
