“Character driven” is a literary term. I can’t name any other character driven AAA games. I don’t think they exist. Every other game I’ve seen is “plot driven”. RDR2 had very little plot and it was all very much a side show. The main part of the story was the characters and how they changed over time.
Okay, I see what you mean now. I didn’t think you meant in a literary sense. I thought you meant like, having a main character that has characterization and isn’t soley a player insert. You may be right in that regard then; I’m wracking my memory and can’t think of another one.
Hmm. I’d say Witcher (I’ve only played witcher3) is one. If you miss up with a main characters responses (no spoilers), you change the plot. Another I think is fully dependent on the character, is Detroit become human. Difference is, it’s not one character.
They both have character development, but the plot is the main driver. That’s the opposite of RDR2 where the plot barely matters at all and it’s all about character development.

RDR2 is the only character driven AAA game I’ve ever seen. I don’t think another one even exists. It was a masterpiece of a story.
Are you joking and I just don’t get it? Lol

Mass Effect has a lot of character development for a plot driven game, but this doesn’t quite fit your criteria.

MAY BE SPOILERS. Not sure how to tag it
