[PS4] Need an RPG with a satisfying class system and combat

I've been watching The Rising of the Shield Hero and some other choice animes based on RPG's and I've been getting a strong itch for a decent combat engine with different classes. I've heard some good things about DOS2 and I watched a stream of Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen and it didn't look too bad.

Dragon's Dogma is probably one of the best action RPGs out there. The combat is ridiculously satisfying, weapons pack actual punch and climbing on bigger enemies like Ogres or Drakes to wail on their weakpoints feels amazing. Most classes also feel very different from eachother, especially the 3 mix classes (and of those, the two magical aligned ones are fairly unique in gaming with the way they play)

Dogma looks like a really fun mix of dark souls and monster hunter

The Dark Arisen DLC is pretty much a roguelike Dark Souls DLC. However it is nowhere near as hard or unforgiving as Dark Souls is, even the hard mode is quite easy compared to DS. But yeah, it definitely has some Monster Hunter feels with the bigger enemies. Now if only they would add climbing them to MH.

Dragon's Dogma is the answer you're looking for.

Well, Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of the most popular RPGs of the past years. And it does have a class system. Combat ist turn-based. The game is also pretty interaction heavy, so you'll need to like that.

Can't say much about Dragon's Dogma. People like it, but for some reason I didn't enjoy it much. Didn't play very far.

I haven't watched The Rising of the Shield Hero yet, but most Isekai animes are based more on MMORPGs rather than WRPGs.

But then again, I don't really have a better recommendations at the moment. I haven't really played Isekai games on PS4 like the Sword Art Online games, so no idea if they have a class system. Plenty of JRPGs on PS4 have great combat, but no real class system (e.g. Ys VIII, Star Ocean series, Tales of... series). And most class-based games really just have the normal turn-based combat (e.g. Labyrinth of Refrain).

I guess Final Fantasy XIV is playable on PS4.

Yeah, I realized after posting that Divinity is turn-based and that really turned me off.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

The fourth Mass Effect stands apart from the original trilogy. No Shepard, no Normandy, and no characters from the previous games, although the "high-tech" visual style and the space opera setting are recognizable. Andromeda is set even further in the future, hundreds of years after Mass Effect 3. The protagonist (who is customizable) is a Pathfinder, a member of an expedition to the Andromeda galaxy. She or he bears the surname Ryder and has a twin - whatever gender you choose, it will be the o... continue reading on RAWG
