The dominant genre of gaming. Means "Really Poor Game" or "Role-Playing Game," depending on your bias. Basically, it is any game in which you have freedom of movement, but is not primarily based around cars, sports or fighting. Just about every game released since the mid-90s is one of these.
I don't like RPGs, but there are many RPG fanboys.

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.
Person 1: What genre is Earthbound?

Person 2: I think it's an RPG.
