Best CRPGs Like Baldur's Gate 3 (2026)

Baldur's Gate 3 didn't just win Game of the Year — it brought CRPGs back to the mainstream. Larian proved that turn-based, dialogue-heavy, choice-driven RPGs can sell millions and win hearts. If you've sunk 100+ hours into BG3 and need your next fix, here are the CRPGs to play next.

1. Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

The best-written game ever made, full stop. No combat — every conflict is resolved through skill checks, internal monologue, and choices that shape who your character is. If BG3's dialogue trees were your favourite part, this is essential.

2. Divinity: Original Sin 2

Larian's previous masterpiece. Same studio, same turn-based combat DNA, more environmental chaos. The closest thing to BG3 that exists.

3. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

Obsidian's pirate-CRPG. Real-time-with-pause combat, a gorgeous Caribbean-inspired world, and writing that rewards close reading.

4. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

If you want **more** systems than BG3 had, Pathfinder is your game. Mythic Paths, dozens of classes, and a campaign that takes 100+ hours to finish.

5. Tyranny

What if you played the bad guys after they'd already won? Obsidian's underrated CRPG explores that premise with sharp writing and meaningful choices.

6. Pentiment

Josh Sawyer's medieval mystery game. No combat, just dialogue, investigation, and beautiful illuminated-manuscript art.

7. Wasteland 3

inXile's post-apocalyptic CRPG. Turn-based combat, brutal moral choices, and a co-op mode that's surprisingly great.

8. Solasta: Crown of the Magister

The most faithful D&D 5e ruleset implementation outside BG3. Smaller scope, but the verticality in combat is incredible.

9. Torment: Tides of Numenera

Spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment. Weird, philosophical, dialogue-first.

10. Rogue Trader

Owlcat's Warhammer 40K CRPG. If you want grim-dark Pathfinder in space, this delivers.

What makes a "BG3-like"?

- **Meaningful choice** — your decisions shape the world - **Tactical combat** — turn-based, position-aware - **Companion stories** — followers with their own arcs - **Replayability** — different builds = different games

All ten games above hit at least three of those.
