Narrative Games that Fail

I've set Overwatch aside for a while, and have been revisting old games I never finished (or hadn't even started). Sadly, I've found the experience less than satisfying, as I summarized on Mastodon this morning[1]:

I'm going to try something newer soon, though.

Hopefully, there won't be too many of the "oh look, arrow in the throat" and "oh look, impaled on plane wreck in river" loops like in the first one (two memorable vignettes that I had trouble finishing without dying, the same way, over and over).
