Hate this mindset, it's the same one people use to dismiss great games as "Walking Sims". Limited interactivity is still a game! There's a reason the artists made games and NOT animations or comics or books! What Remains of Edith Finch is lost on you if you only watched it!
theres narrative heavy games that just dont really rely on gameplay and function more as a narrative. also sometimes yeah the gameplay just blows. it also comes down to preference and how much it enhances a narrative.
for example, mixtape, dispatch, etc
