I love narrative-driven games, but i’m out of ideas. What should i play next?

Hi everyone, I need some suggestions. I’ve been catching up on the Assassin’s Creed franchise recently and I just finished Unity a couple of days ago. However, after talking to some people here on Reddit, I decided to take a break from the series since I was starting to lose interest.
The problem is, now I don’t know what to play. Over the last 4/5 years I’ve played most of the best titles for console, classic and modern games, and overall I’ve been gaming for at least 15 years.
I’m officially out of ideas and nothing seems to grab my attention right now. Do you have any recommendations? Maybe lesser-known games or hidden gems, games that didn’t get much hype but you consider absolute masterpieces.
I personally prefer narrative-driven games with a great story, but honestly i’m open to pretty much anything you think is worth playing.

Is playing every AC games even worth it?

Hi everyone! This is my first ever post on Reddit, so please be patient. I’m writing this because I have a genuine question and I’m curious to hear your thoughts, I’m definitely not trying to hate on the franchise or offend long-time fans.
Last year, knowing basically nothing about Assassin’s Creed, I decided to catch up on the series and play as many titles as possible. So far, I’ve played the Ezio Trilogy, Odyssey, Shadows, Mirage, and I just finished Unity yesterday. I also tried Valhalla, but I ended up dropping it.
I know I played them in a completely random order, but I just picked whatever setting appealed to me at the moment. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the experience, the Ezio saga was good, I actually liked Shadows despite the controversy, and Unity has been my favorite so far in terms of parkour. However, I’ve have a problem now: they’re all starting to feel a bit too similar.
I’m losing the motivation to play every single entry because the narrative isn't really grabbing me anymore. It feels like the protagonists goals and the overall story follow the same repetitive loop, regardless of the gameplay tweaks. So, I have to ask: are these games actually as good as people say, or are they a bit overrated?
Is it just me, like a burnout because I played too many of them back-to-back, or is the Ubisoft formula just getting dated?

That being said, which chapter should I play next? ( I’m already waiting for the remake to play Black Flag, so please suggest something else )
