If you're getting tired of swords and sorcery, or just looking for meaty tactical battles, few RPGs will satisfy you better.

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Dan Naylor

The Banner Saga is one of the most original games you'll play this year. That such a small team has managed to create a story that will be unique to every player is astonishing, and that the story actually makes you care even more so. Buy this game.

Game Revolution: 3 / 5 by Ryan Bates

The battle system controls easily and is fairly easy to learn; those who see this game basically like chess will enjoy it. Those looking for a new RPG to get into, however, should look elsewhere.
