Crysis series and Last of Us immediately come to mind for me. It's not that they never have moments of fun gameplay. It's just that the gameplay isn't as satisfying as other games I've played/games in the same genres.

Battlefront 2 on Xb1x does this for me.

I'd also argue a combination of the visuals, the sound design and the background music are what keeps bringing me back to Sea of Thieves (Arrrrrr the feels!)

I don't care about any games with bad gameplay. Which is why I'd never recommend an Uncharted game to anyone unless they only cared about graphics and setpieces.

Can't think of one. Ratchet and Clank 2016 may come close, but I wasn't even bored with it and played through it twice. Utterly stunning game visually, however. It's impossible, but I'd love to see A Crack in Time brought up to this level of graphics, as it's my favorite Ratchet and Clank game.

Crysis average gameplay? I agree with Crysis 2 and 3, but the first one no.

That's what I was going to say. The gameplay of the original Crysis still holds up. The free form attacking of bases is what Far Cry 3/4/5 attempt to surpass. The gameplay of the original Crysis suit is so good.

I wouldn't be able to tolerate shit gameplay just because the graphics are slick, no dice. I can play a game with shit graphics and killer gameplay any day though!

No Mans Sky is eye candy overload with not much going on with the gameplay loop. Exploration and ship riding can be really fun at times however

Back on the Dreamcast, REZ. The gameplay was alright, but the way the music and visuals combined just felt added so much more than it should have.

UC4 absolutely. Played it for the presentation, but the game just sucks.

Witcher 3 also.

Killzone Shadow Fall

I only had enough money for one launch game. I chose wrong. Very. Wrong.

But at least it was pretty.

I'm more likely to do it for story rather than graphics. I certainly wouldn't play Trails in the Sky if it didn't have one.
