Horizon series. Retried multiple times on horizon zero dawn, probably got close to 15 hours and just didn't care for the story. Gameplay was what kept me playing but after a while, I didn't feel compelled to continue if I had no interest in anything else that was happening. Heard Forbidden West is better but I couldn't care less

You have to treat Horizon like a mystery and you’re a detective. I had a hard time getting into it and then I started to try and give a shit about why the world is the way it is and really listening to the logs I found. I finally got very invested and beat both games and loved them.
It won’t be for everybody though. I definitely wouldn’t play Forbidden West without knowing the first game’s story.
I'd watch a story recap for the first game, then play all of them after that up until black flag. Origins/odyssey/valhalla are good if you are into massive open worlds that can get pretty repetitive and have about a billion side quests and stealth doesn't matter nearly as much unless specifically required for some rare quests. I love them, but the Ezio trilogy was peak AC imho.
Expedition is the most prominent: I really fail to see anything good in that game. I stopped playing after the 3-4th enemy on the island, so I might miss the plot, but the game did everything to halt me from being interested in that plot if there is one.
