Godhood achieved in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Shin Megami Tensei V to me is the definition of what a turn-based role-playing game should be like in 2021.

That was a very long adventure, and one I can only recommend. I just beat Shin Megami Tensei V a few days ago, and did everything I could do in my playthrough, even defeating the infamous superboss of the game. Shin Megami Tensei V to me is the definition of what a turn-based role-playing game should be like in 2021. One where as hard as the game is in Normal mode, at no point are you really forced to grind mindlessly to progress, even when it comes to defeating its hardest optional enemy. (And you do not need any tricky technique that should have been prevented during QA testing to win either.) There's so much to do, so much to explore that the more you do so, the more you realize that whatever you are facing — even when the game initially feels broken in its final open area — there are no problems at all, only solutions.
