Uncharted
The Last Of Us
Heavy Rain
The Walking Dead
Life Is Strange

These all have two things in common - they're cinematic and good games. I guess that kills, at least, part of your theory.

this, there's no such thing as "too cinematic." Sure the artwork of a game doesn't define the game itself, but if everything is planned right, then it never hurts a game to look more realistic
