It's not an RPG: What is an RPG? stats? character choices? branching ways to complete quests? upgrading levels? character customization and building? Cyberpunk has all of that.
I think that for many people it boils down to “the RPGs I like are RPGs and the RPGs I don’t like aren’t.” 😂
RPGs are the Metal of video games. The music metal, not substance metal. There are a gazzilion different subgenres with very little in common aside from their common point of origin.
