TL;DR definition:
A game where you
level up character(s), usually gain experience points
have stats
gain items that go in an inventory
Usually fight other characters
Usually uses a text based system but not always
It also usually works just like how a tabletop RPG does but in a videogame.
What it's NOT:
Just a game where there's a character that has a role you play, there's a large amount of other games that have that description and aren't RPGs.
A game that has a typically fantasy environment, those are just what a lot of RPGs have, but it doesn't define what an RPG is. An RPG could be about food, dogs,markets, etc.
Two examples of RPGs are Undertale and Pokemon.
