How so? To mean it felt like Grand Theft Auto IV. You go around doing jobs for individuals and get thrown a handful of choices along the way but it still feels very linear.
I feel like you could say that about most games though. I wouldn’t say Cities Skylines is an RPG but you are fulfilling the role of a mayor. Chirper adds to the immersion aspect but I don’t think that’s enough to shift the genre.
Maybe it’s a hot take though. Kind of similarly I wouldn’t call F.E.A.R. a horror game. I’d say it’s an FPS with horror elements.
I guess it’s different for most people. When I’m huddling next to a group of S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs under a bridge in the exclusion zone, listening to their guitar playing as I maintain my crappy rifle and watch the animation of my character slowly eating a can of beans to stave off the hunger I feel like I’m doing way more roleplaying than I ever feel from picking option A, B or C in a multiple-choice dialogue tree.
Immersion features are also important for roleplaying, it’s just a different kind of roleplaying really.
I haven’t played this yet, is it more like a Deus Ex style of RPG?
I think Cyberpunk 2077 created its own style.

The way they directed main story quests and dialogs was much different than GTA.
