There’ve been fantastic CRPGs in the last handful of years. Off the top of my head: Divinity Original Sin 2 (2017), PoE/PoE2(2015/2018), Tyranny(2016), Torment: Tides of Numenera(2017), Pathfinder WotR/Kingmaker(2018/2021), and Disco Elysium (2019).

There’s definitely been a comeback, I feel like I’ve been eating good on that side for a while now.
