Games aren't inherently bad at storytelling, it just has to be handled differently than a movie or show. You couldn't make a movie like Outer Wilds or a TV show like The Stanley Parable.
Even something like The Last of Us which has sometimes been derided as a "movie game" takes advantage of the medium by letting you naturally build a relationship with Ellie and explore the setting. You can see that it the show; as good as it is, Ellie and Joel's relationship progression is a little more abrupt simply because it can't be done as slowly and thoroughly as the game can.
“Or a TV show like Stanley Parable”
there is a “Stanley Parable” show on apple TV. It’s called Severance
Having watched Severance, I'd say the two have just about nothing in common until maybe the last two episodes.
I would not recommend Severance based on someone's like for Stanley Parable.
