Ooof, now there's a hot take I don't agree with. Did you play Psychonauts (1 and 2)? Full Throttle? Brutal Legend? Man, those are some of my favorite games.

Psychonauts was what made me come to that realisation. The dialogue and cutscenes were great; the gameplay sucked. Full Throttle's game design was mostly inherited from Ron Gilbert and the areas where Schaeffer did his own thing (the minigames) were the worst parts. I haven't played Brutal Legend but I haven't heard anything positive about its gameplay.
