Best PS5 RPGs That Aren’t Open World, Ranked

As time goes by, more and more RPGs are embracing the open-world formula, at times with pretty great results. FromSoftware made quite a splash with Elden Ring, Blizzard embraced the formula with Diablo 4, and even the upcoming Witcher 1 Remake aims to put the classic RPG in a true open world. While there are definitely some unmatched advantages to this approach, especially the extra freedom to explore and play at your own pace, some players still prefer the traditional RPG experience, with separate missions or smaller regions to progress through in mostly predetermined ways.
