Some of these are more action games with RPG elements, but if games like Torchlight 2 and Dishonored qualify for the list, then IMO the following should certainly be included as well:

Far Cry 3
Hitman: Absolution
The Darkness II
Dear Esther
Blades of Time
I Am Alive
The Walking Dead
Dragon's Dogma
Sleeping Dogs
Borderlands 2
