I'm sure that game was great for it's time, but I'm talking about modern titles.

 

Graphics are nice, a good story is nice. They can improve the experience, but they are not in any way "what makes games amazing, interesting, and immersive." Some games that have excellent graphics and story would be awful if they didn't, that's true. The graphics and story may well be what makes Uncharted amazing. But games have been immersive since long before the 3D era and a modern game with dated presentation can be just as immersive as Uncharted if the gameplay is solid enough.
