... no.

This is how you end up with people going "hey, what should we call a Metroidvania style game - oh yes, unlocking world games." Sounds like a shit translation from 2005

That's an absurdly large umbrella that can describe dark souls, diablo, metroid, castlevania, Zelda, cp2077, etc

Still narrower than "RPG".
