Where exactly is the RPG in Rift Breakers? Dialogue options? Moral choices? Freedom of behaviour? You can't mean stats and XP obviously, they are in every game right now and don't make a game an RPG. You can play an actual RPG with no stats and rules, no dice nor rulebooks - all you need is an open narrative with choices and character freedom.

Grime is so damn good. Even at launch with the useless armor, it was a really solid game.

There are loads of weapons that all feel different, excellent gameplay, decent platforming, decent crafting and upgrade systems and a very bizarre but intriguing aesthetic.
