I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

I agree with everyone who said fighting games in general. I hate that they're so engrossing and engaging and have so many different aspects you can study to improve on that they make it difficult to play other genres once you get into them. It creates this myopic fixation that is honestly endemic of late stage capitalist atomization and commodity fetishism (defining oneself by ones consumption, etc and sho on) which I find really unhealthy. Plus the embodied labor of the developers of other genres is indirectly exploited by the fighting gamer when they inevitably neglect those other genres, which erodes class solidarity and furthers false consciousness among the populace.
