Someone told me to post this here and that’s all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don’t like this flavor of subcommunity

    The Souls series, subnautica, and Hitman all do this well. Minimal story, skippable cut scenes, and fantastic gameplay and environments.

    In all of them you can dig deeper if you want, but it’s almost always optional.

    There have been very few games where the story is what grabs me, I want fun and engaging gameplay and character development (stats, perks, weapons, etc).

    The one exception is Mass Effect, but that game just has everything.

      Haven’t played the others, but Subnautica is a perfect example. It caused me to really want to explore further.

      I don’t like being spoonfed a story through endless exposition pieces of dialogue and reading - I much prefer the Subnautica approach where it is experienced rather than told.
