Nothing matches this selection.
Party-based RPGs let you do more than steer one hero: you assemble a group, shape how its members fight together and get to know them along the way. On PlayStation the range is unusually wide, from Western CRPGs with branching choices to Japanese RPGs built around a fixed cast and a long, authored story. The first thing to decide is which combat style suits you. Turn-based games give you time to plan every move, Dragon Age: Origins and Pathfinder: Kingmaker use real-time with pause, and Genshin Impact goes for fast real-time action where you swap heroes on the fly.
Baldur's Gate 3 is the obvious starting point if you want freedom: nearly every decision reshapes the story and your companions' loyalty. Divinity: Original Sin 2 rewards players who like using the environment in fights, such as combining surfaces and elements. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is for those who want deep character builds and tough battles, plus the twist of founding and ruling your own kingdom. If you prefer a strong fixed cast and lots of style, Persona 5 Royal mixes Tokyo school life with dungeon heists. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 adds real-time parrying and dodging to turn-based combat, which keeps you engaged even on the enemy's turn.
Also consider pace and length. CRPGs tend to be dense and reading-heavy, while JRPGs like Final Fantasy X move through a more linear journey. If you want to play with a friend, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition supports co-op with two custom heroes.
Final Fantasy X is a friendly entry point thanks to its clear turn order and the option to swap party members mid-battle. Persona 5 Royal is also approachable, with snappy turn-based fights and a story that eases you into its systems.
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition explicitly lets two custom heroes play together in co-op. Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 are also widely known for their multiplayer campaigns.
Both share the same core of school life in Tokyo and stylish turn-based heists as the Phantom Thieves. Persona 5 Royal is the expanded version, so it is usually the one to pick if you are starting fresh.
