Why these games appear

How entries qualify

A computer-role-playing lineage emphasizing rules-driven character builds, party or avatar agency, exploration, and consequential quest or dialogue choices.

Include when

Assign CRPG when a computer-role-playing lineage emphasizing rules-driven character builds, party or avatar agency, exploration, and consequential quest or dialogue choices. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Exclude action games with light statistics and linear menu-driven RPGs without rules-driven builds, exploration, or meaningful quest and dialogue agency.
