Battles that pause and wait for a decision instead of reflexes. Final Fantasy IX keeps the classic party formula from its 2016 PC release, Darkest Dungeon punishes a careless step with stress as much as damage, and XCOM 2 turns each mission into cover, odds and consequences. Role-playing games make up most of the 280 titles here, with Adventure and Strategy behind them.
