The game that made me finally give up on Pokemon

Chalk it up to "you had to be there" but trying to play uncharted these days is a rough experience.

This game should be right up my alley, dinosaurs, cool ancient tribes with interesting stories, giant open world rpg, yet every single time I try to play I feel like I'm playing "generic open world rpg simulator" the game. I want to love this game so badly, but 6 years and a dozen tries later I still cannot get into it.
