    I usually don’t like turn-based combat at all, but I still enjoyed Clair Obscur, simply because it’s an amazing game otherwise. I found the battles to be a bit repetitive after a while, but it was still kinda fun.

    X-COM. CRPGs. Pathfinder, BG. Have Ledgerbound and the new FF on the line. The last turn based was Zero Company.

    Turn based, visual novels or some light hack and slash games are my usual poison.

    Right now, I guess Pokémon counts?

    I used to enjoy an Angry Birds spin-off called “Epic”, that was one of the better ones.

    The first Fallout games. Turn based isometric top down RPG.

    They were awesome stories and I spent hours finding as much backstory as I could. By reading and searching every location.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2. Combat system isn’t perfect (my main criticism is that you can unchain your characters to set your party members up in advantageous positions and then trigger combat, which feels cheaty) but it has some cool mechanics. A lot of elemental interactions, interactions with and creation of different surfaces, factoring in high ground for an advantage, etc. I know BG3 is highly acclaimed also by Larian but I haven’t played it so can’t attest to that combat system.

    Yes, I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan and turn-based is what I started out with when I first started gaming. My favorite FF game (and video game of all time) is Final Fantasy X, and I remember playing late one night and falling asleep mid-boss battle. Waking up two hours later for the boss patiently waiting for me to kill it was quite nice, ngl.

    Also Clair Obscur. I didn’t shut up about that game all last year. It’s just so good, especially for those who prioritize story in video games!

    With the exception of MMOs, I very nearly play exclusively turn-based games.

    The Xcom is the obvious answer, but also a big fan of the card games Slay the Spire/Monster Train. I’ve loved all of the older final fantasy games but found the action based newer ones like 15 grating.

    Really loving Persona 5 Royal. Though I’m enjoying the life sim more than the action, I do still like turn based games, all the way back to FFVII on the PS1.

    Star Wars knights of the old republic was the only game I enjoyed turn based combat. Generally I don’t like turn based combat. I prefer real time combat like command and conquer or supreme commander.
