Iirc, at the very end of Dominic Deegan
when he found the gate to the source of magic, or whatever
many snarkers commented how the scene is structured exactly like a video-game cutscene.

Instead of being proactive, like a protagonist is supposed to be, Dom just passively accepted whatever the gate did to him, despite previously established motivations, until the video-game cutscene was over.
You know, like how a player character can't act while the cutscene explains the plot to him?

It doesn't help that the cutscene happened immediately after the "final boss fight".
