Does this even merit being in the RPG subforum?

DMC5 is in jrpg forum, to that end every game can be in every forum. I don't remember for what, but once Infiltron moved a thread which I made and dumped it in the jrpg forum with the weaboos. I'll never forget you bastard Infiltron, NEVER!! You and your damn double standards!

It has dialogue choices, skill trees and different outcomes and builds.

Those are good things, but they don't denote a true RPG game. Being a true RPG game is decided by having (or not) floating damage numbers.
And Horizon Zero Dawn developers were well aware of that fact, when they were creating their masterpiece:

Hi Team Guerilla, will Horizon Zero Dawn support FOV slider so I can set the how much of the world I can see at one time ? Kindly advise.

We will add several ways to customize your settings for Horizon Zero Dawn for PC. However, we feel that changing the FOV compromises the original Horizon Zero Dawn experience and visual style too much, so you will not be able to change this.

Well, the truth is the engine can't handle bigger FOVs.

Console FOVs in third-person games don't usually bother me, but that's still a bummer. Doubt they re-engineer it that much for a port.

Considering I'm using an ultrawide monitor, this might not bother me. It didn't bother me on consoles. This looks totally fine.

Just finished the game (including the DLC which is expansion-size). I would not call it an RPG (you eventually unlock every skill), but it plays similarly to Witcher 3 with better combat, story and loot system. However, W3 definitely wins on sheer amount of quality content (side quests), overall size and C&C (which is marginal at best in Horizon).
Also, for better or worse, this game is the embodiment of PG-13 content. Everything is mild and inoffensive, violence is tempered, there is no swearing, etc. I found this a breath of fresh air after overdosing on edginess is some other titles, but your mileage may vary.
