9. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

8. Might & Magic X: Legacy

The player controls four heroes from different races. In each of them there are three classes with their own skills.
The ambiguous assessment of the game by critics is caused primarily by the developers' attempt to please the old fans of the game - it introduced a first-person combat system in the cells, as was the case in the early games of the series. Not everyone liked this option of fighting.
7. Dark Souls 2
On the 7th place in the Top 10 RPG on PC - an open world game Dark souls 2 from a Japanese developer. The plot is typical for Japan - the main character is looking for salvation from the curse.
