Absolutely. This should be the norm for every game with cutscenes, and should be available on the first playthrough. GoW4 and 5 both have their issues, but the cinematics are very well done in both games. I think God of War 4 is brilliant tbf. It just needed Kratos' to get angrier.
Yeah MGS games are like the gold standard for cutscenes for me. Obviously not every game needs a tonne of cutscenes. Some games are so immediate that all you really need is the gameplay loop and you're set. But I've always leant more towards games that aren't just "score attacks" and I feel like cutscenes are a big part of that.
