I completely disagree, there are plenty of branching games which are extremely good and which would be severely worse if they weren't branching: Disco Elysium and Baldur's Gate 3 come to mind. We are very very far off from an AI being able to come up with compelling stories that are logically coherent.

> there are plenty of branching games which are extremely good i think you mean there's barely any good ones. The examples you come up with are the exceptions that prove the rule. Look at a game like Dishonered, where the story have _some_ branches, but it's half-assed imho. There's plenty more games where having gone for a branching story made the game more expensive, less deep, and harder to sell as a result.
