Top 7 RPG Games for PS5 and Xbox Series X That’ll Steal Your Soul (2025)

By the twisted hand of The List Goblin 🕯️

Prepare thyself, mortal. I’ve plundered the digital realms, crawled through cursed review scrolls, and dueled countless forum trolls to unearth the 7 most soul-devouring RPGs for PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2025.

These games aren’t merely played—they are survived. Welcome to your next 700 lost hours. Choose your fate… or be chosen by it.

1. Elden Ring (Shadow of the Erdtree Edition)

  • Platform: PS5 / Xbox Series X
  • Metacritic: 96
  • Playtime: 100+ soul-crushing hours
⚔️ Snatch the Ring, Mortal

A monstrous, sprawling world where everything hungers for your failure. With the "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion, the suffering is deeper—and somehow more beautiful.

🐉 Mournfyr: "I wept, laughed, and then was clubbed by a walking urn. Glorious."

2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Next-Gen Edition

  • Metacritic: 94

🧙‍♂️ Claim Thy Witcher's Path

Slay beasts. Break hearts. Play Gwent until your fingers bleed. This updated version looks sharper than a cursed blade.

3. Dragon’s Dogma II

  • Platform: PS5 / Xbox Series X
  • Metacritic: 91
  • Playtime: 80–100 monster-climbing hours
🐲 Ride Into Battle, Fool

Ever dreamed of grappling onto a cyclops' face and stabbing its one sad eye? Here’s your deranged fantasy made real.

4. Baldur’s Gate 3

  • Platform: PS5 / Xbox Series X
  • Metacritic: 96
  • Playtime: 75–200 chaotic, consequence-riddled hours
🎲 Roll the Dice of Fate

Every choice matters. Every companion is either deeply lovable or deeply suspicious. Just like real adventuring goblins.

5. Starfield

  • Platform: Xbox Series X
  • Metacritic: 84
  • Playtime: 100+ sandwich-stealing hours

7. Lies of P

  • Platform: PS5 / Xbox Series X
  • Metacritic: 83
  • Playtime: 30–40 puppet-nightmare hours
🎭 Embrace the Puppet Curse

Pinocchio if it were dipped in bloodborne sauce and served with a side of existential dread. Trust nothing. Least of all yourself.

Final Words

These aren’t just games. They are contracts signed in chaos and commitment. Your gold, your hours, your soul—sacrificed willingly.

Now... pick one. Pick poorly. Pick gloriously.
