I recently finished Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer Worlds) where most of the story is told through "journal entry" style text. I thought it was a very poignant, bittersweet story. I also appreciated that there's no combat in the game.

Seconded. Outer Wilds was absolutely wonderful. The gameplay is lacking in places but after watching the making of documentary [1] my mind is still kind of blown by the technical side, even if it didn't transfer 100% smoothly to the player's experience.

This video has given me even more appreciation for the game. The exploration in their design process, yet still achieving very intentional design for guiding player motivation. Incredible.
