World of Warcraft, released in 2004, revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre and continues to captivate millions of players even two decades later. While WoW offers endless content, players who've invested countless hours might seek alternatives.

Path of Exile 2's early access release also provides a solid option for action RPG enthusiasts. A single-player Final Fantasy title has been added to the recommendations.
