Surprised MonHun ended in this category, but it is the age old question what qualifies as RPG. I would've put MonHun as action game. In either case, all contestants were more than worthy, so the close results are no surprise.

Google says it's an ARPG. There are certain RPG elements, it's just not what most people would think of first when thinking about RPGs. Apparently Astral Chain is also an RPG.

Well, we could put Borderlands as an RPG, it has Skill-Trees

Many genres incorporated some light RPG elements. Well, one of these days I may write a thread about RPGs, starting with a definition. And then everyone can disagree how I define it.
