I thought you said action RPGs are acceptable. I hack and slash lots in Secret of Mana. You probably think I'm intentionally trying to be difficult, but I'm honestly not sure of the distinction you're trying to make. Does this mean something like Tomb Raider, where you typically use guns, is out? By the way I think Horizon Zero Dawn is barely more RPG than the most recent Tomb Raider games. Both games have skill points on level up. The only stat that Horizon Zero Dawn adds is HP. Oh and different/customizable armors.
