Sounds like you need to put that in a review. Just to get this to Overwhelming.

You might appreciate some of Sony's other games then as they have a similar cinematic experience type of vibe.

The Last of Us (on Steam) is very much like an interactive movie much of the time (especially the great start of the game, best game intro I've ever seen).

Days Gone is kind of like this if you focus on the main story but the game isn't without its flaws and it has, similar to this, plenty of filler nonsense to do that messes up the pacing. Enjoyable game despite its flaws, imo.

I can't recommend the Horizon games because the MC is utterly an atrocious human being and the story is written by a 5 year old, or ought as well be. No, maybe a 5 year old might write a better story. I have no remorse for stating how bad the game's story is and the repetitive nature doesn't carry its weight well like some of their other games like this or Days Gone. (Don't come at me fans, I know some of you will still love it just like Assassin's Creed has fans).

Unrelated to Sony, Metal Gear Solid games often function similarly, but with even beefier cinematic feel. This is particularly true for Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and 4 which are very well received games for fans of that type of content but do note their cutscenes are quite lengthy.

Speaking of lengthy cutscenes the Xenosaga series is a JRPG franchise that is built on its extremely story rich cinematic appeal. Despite being a PS2 game with three episodes, which combined following the same cast, tell one super massive story similar to Lord of the Rings, etc., but it is a space opera... Each of those games individually break records for cutscenes and sheer story content. Imo, episode 1 has the best cinematic presentation though where the other two aren't as good but do alright. Be warned though, this is a game that makes even Metal Gear Solid game cutscenes seem short despite Metal Gear Solid quite incorrectly holding the Guinness Record for cutscenes (Metal Gear Solid 4 is actually second to this, and by that I mean 4th because all three of these games top it, winning on a technicality even though these games dwarf it by dozens of hours of massive story dialogue scenes).


Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner is on Steam and a very cinematic robot action game that features some unique, honestly, still pleasant visuals despite being a PS2 title. The combat is really smooth and very fast paced and one of the best action combat systems and series of bosses I've ever seen in a game. It is pretty short though but it makes up for it in quality. Story is a bit short, too, but has a cinematic feel. Average game should be around 6 hours for most first time but can be beaten in under 40 minutes on Extreme difficulty by someone who knows what they're doing with full upgrades.


Final Fantasy X is a relatively well paced cinematic stylized JRPG and one of the more"cinematic movie" type feeling experiences compared to other JRPGs but without the insane cutscene length / pacing concerns of Xenosaga series.


Life is Strange & Detroit: Become Human are both incredible game experiences that function as basically movies where you control the action. They're a bit different from your usual game experience because they're far closer to being an actual "movie experience" and give the player some degree of control. Life is Strange has some unique ideas and stuff but if I were to recommend the top of my list for what you're post about my vote goes to Detroit: Become Human (both are on Steam) which features a superb story (based on some real world potential concepts/concerns, too) and immersion factor with high quality replayability due to its multiple story routes. It also has great visuals but also equally demanding PC hardware requirements. The creators of Detroit Become Human also have some other similar games like Heavy Rain, etc., but I've not played them yet despite owning them so no comment.



Just some minor recommendations if relevant since you mentioned you appreciated the movie like experience.
