I disagree on the combat-less RPGM games being fine. While I appreciate the amount of effort that goes into some of them, I can't stand them. There is no gameplay, it's just "the relevant scenes" with a bunch of walking around in between them - regular stories, comics and animations exist, you're allowed to enjoy that media passively, people don't need to be fooled into thinking they're playing a game by holding a controller while reading/watching those. I honestly believe that if you're going to make a game without gameplay, you're better off just writing a story or drawing a comic or whatever.
