Here are our top picks for the best PS4 action RPGs that you should pick up as soon as possible. The action side brings frenetic combat, exhilarating action, and a sense of excitement that is lacking from turn-based combat. The RPG side still brings character leveling, customizable equipment, and depth otherwise seen in the likes of, say, Devil May Cry. Combining tenets of both, the ARPG can be seen as a progression of the slower-paced genre. Thankfully, this is where the hybrid action RPG comes in. Likewise, the hack and slash genre can be great for stress relief, but they may lack the depth of character progression that many gamers seek.

Role-playing games can be an absolute timesink.
