It not being a RPG makes it even being great not enough to top a great RPG, to me.
Unless it's TLOU or RDR great, it'll hardly have a chance against DS2.

Ah, then it's perfect because the game features RPG elements, such as leveling up, crafting and New Game Plus, among other things. That's it, you have zero excuses now.
