I'm right with you on the games-as-a-service thing, and the overtly cinematic "movie game". However, there's a great amount of diversity in modern gaming. Particularly, the independent gaming scene is thriving, and some of the storytelling is breaking new ground not just for games, but for fiction (books, movies, comics) in general. I'd highly recommend Return of the Obra Dinn or Outer Wilds, for example.
