Although I have to agree that the list doesn't seem to care about this, as they've put Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and Elden Ring as RPGs...
All of those have character progression (skills/points) that’s a main attribute of RPGs.
So does Cyberpunk.
Before or after the overhaul? Because at launch it was barely enough to call it a progression system.
It had all of those things at launch.
Barely. I remember well levelling up to get the incredible boost of +2.5% at handling handguns. That skill tree was so shitty that I'd prefer if the game didn't have it.
lol paltry stat bonuses is not progression system. Theres a reason they had to overhaul it…it was hated because it wasn’t a progression system, calling it an rpg is an insult to actual rpgs.
