What are the best 2024 RPGs with deep narratives and party systems?

[Ryan.D]

I'm looking to dive into a new, meaty RPG to sink my teeth into this year, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the releases. I've already played and loved Baldur's Gate 3, and I'm looking for something with a similar depth of choice and character building. I'm considering Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but I'm open to lesser-known titles. For those who have been playing through 2024's releases, what are your picks for the best RPGs of 2024 so far? I'm particularly interested in games with strong narratives, meaningful progression systems, and preferably a party-based element. Are there any hidden gems or upcoming titles I should be keeping on my radar?
