Games with distractingly bad non immersive elements?

Vampyr and Greedfall both feel kinda fake. The environments have an odd scale, you feel like you should be able to jump, and combat is kinda complicated.

It's uncanny. Turn based games like xcom and divinity original sin feel great and immersive non jumpers like TLOU and GOW feel great, but there's this weird middle ground. Any of you like these types of games for these qualities? I enjoyed Vampyr overall but I was certainly distracted by it.

Its an AA game at best. But look past these things and enjoy what the game has to offer because its a fun game. I thoroughly enjoyed it and its story. The vibe of the game was fantastic IMO

Greedfall?

I like the characters but it feels like 75% of the gameplay is just running back and fourth to talk to people.

No no, Vampyr

Which is also happens to have a lot of talking to people. But the writing is really good in it.

I finished it last year and did look past those things.

Writing was good. Also had great sound effects, like when you'd feed off people.
