I don't think cinematic games are bad "per se". I think that choice-based games like TWD or Until Dawn work, because they take advantage of the interactivity that videogames have. So they differenciate themselves from movies. I'm not convinced about games like The Order, for example. It has little gameplay value, and you can't even "play" with the story. I still think that videogames excel when they use their own arms to tell a story. The Last Guardian is a perfect example.
