What does the RPG genre of video games mean?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
RPG is an abbreviation for "role-playing game" (English: Role-Playing Game). It is a genre of video games that typically focuses on character development (completing quests) within a fictional world.
In role-playing games, players take on the role of one or more characters and interact with the fictional world, completing various tasks, fighting enemies, trading, and making decisions that affect the further plot and gameplay. This can include elements such as a combat system, character leveling, quest lines, interactive dialogues, item collection, and exploring new locations.
RPGs can have various variations depending on the subgenre and specifics of the game. For example, some RPGs may be focused on exploration-role gameplay (e.g., the Elder Scrolls series), while others may place greater emphasis on tactical combat (e.g., the Final Fantasy Tactics series) or on the depth of story and characters (e.g., the Mass Effect series).
Overall, RPG video games provide players with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a fictional world, make decisions on behalf of their character, and influence the development of the plot and characters within the game.
