Playing story focused games is just insane to me. The stories are all fucking terrible, and now they are all woke as fuck, too. Why would you subject yourself to hours of that trash just to enjoy some actual video game content?

Super Metroid did it well. You had the short intro cutscene, but the gameplay was never interrupted after. All exposition occurred through gameplay.
