Games Where Dialogue Feels Like Combat

As I get older, I feel less compelled by games with good combat and more by good storytelling and writing.

I watched an essay on a video game (Disco Elysium or Pathologic perhaps) some time ago and they mentioned that it was that it was a game where a conversation could feel like a boss battle, and that idea has stuck with me.

Any recommendations for video games where the primary conflict isn’t combat but can still be high tension? Or games with great writing, storytelling, rhetoric, etc.

Other games in this category would be something like “The Forgotten City,” or as I once heard described - lawyer ass games.
