nowadays anything that has levels is a RPG

>action games with leveling systems are rpgs

It's a deconstruction of the rogue like genre with adventure and rpg elements and memes.

It's more of a pseudo metroidvanian dungeon crawler without a loot system

>souls is becoming a genre
I fucking hate this. Souls series are just harder 3d metroidvnia titles why are people trying to make soulslike" a genre?

A role-playing video game (commonly referred to as role-playing game or RPG, and in the past was also known as computer role-playing game or cRPG) is a video game genre where the player controls the actions of a main character (or several adventuring party members) immersed in some well-defined world. Many role-playing video games have origins in pen-and-paper role-playing games[1] (such as Dungeons & Dragons) and use much of the same terminology, settings and game mechanics. Other major similarities with pen-and-paper games include developed story-telling and narrative elements, player character development, complexity, as well as replayability and immersion. The electronic medium removes the necessity for a gamemaster and increases combat resolution speed. RPGs have evolved from simple text-based console-window games into visually rich 3D experiences.

Souls games have more in common with character action games than they do with pen and paper rpgs.

ARPG is not exactly a new genre nor did souls invent it.
