I had the same experience with RDR2 for what it's worth. I chalk some of that to being excessively immersive to the point that I wished I could just get around and do things easier.
Hmm.. Definitely EVE Online. I'd much rather read stories about the game than play it. Debatable Factorio, because I feel like I'd need to be on stimulants to enjoy it.
I've recently been playing Arma Reforger, and it's this close to being too boring and slow for me. In Arma 3, I have the majority of my 3500 hours in the Zeus mode, where I'm managing a mission for anywhere from a handful to dozens of players, and there's always something to do. Setting up the next objective, micromanaging AI, listening to the players chat. It beats driving for half an hour or standing on guard for ages not to see anything, which is both a realistic depiction of warfare, but also boring (I do my best to have my players not end up there).
The map in Reforger feels too large even for 128 players, it's less restrictive than something like Squad, where the game mode channels you into lanes (even if you are technically free to faff around anywhere). The spawn points can easily be tens of minutes from the action, and God help you if you forget where you parked the car. I still play Reforger because I enjoy the novelty of an Arma game that doesn't look like it was made in 2013 and also runs way better, but sadly the Zeus/Game Master mode is atrociously half-baked. Bohemia learned nothing from the mods that made Zeusing in Arma 3 a million times more fun and useful.
