The FF7 remake. It's so beautiful, the characters feel authentic, and the battle adaptation works surprisingly well for it.
Honorable mention: God of War (2018). The story is absolutely mesmerizing, if only the combat had more depth it would literally be my top game of all time.
Betrayal at House on the Hill is the closest one I can think of to what you described. The best part of it is the board gets setup as you play so it doesn't take long at all to get going.
Dead of Winter is a zombie coop survival with a traitor. Setup is not super quick but it is pretty fun. And The Thing boardgame is pretty similar.
Congress has proven to me over and over again that they don't, it's not about what I believe anymore.
