I’m halfway through RDR2 and the gameplay is boring af. Ok not all gameplay, mostly the quests. The world is amazing, and it’s quite immersive indeed but 90% of the quests are, go here, shoot some guys, come back.
Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?

Red dead redemption 2 has a really good story. Gameplay is pretty immersive and lots to explore.
God of war have a really good story and gameplay is overall fun.
Ni no Kuni II I found to be an interesting story. Gameplay was fun overall.
Ori, both games, has a good story to tell. Overall good platformer
Hollow knight is a fun platformer and overall story is good. Similar but not as good, death’s door.
Death stranding has an interesting story but kind of strange. Gameplay is OK but can get a bit repetitive at times.
Spider-Man, overall fun. Story is unique.
Ghost of tsushima, good story and gameplay. Visually lovely.
Cyberpunk 2077 I found immersive, story wasn’t bad but might not be for everyone.

The issue with quests in RDR2 is that they give you no autonomy. Most games set a quest objective and give you a dozen ways to achieve it. RDR2 forces you to follow the exact path through the quest that the game wants you to take. If you deviate it either fails to progress or simply fails the quest. It felt more to me like an interactive movie than a game in that respect, though you get full freedom outside of quests.

Second the GOW’s, RDT2 and GOT. Fantastic emotional plot driven games. I’d add both HZD’s too.

Forgot about Horizon. That was a good story as well.
