Ludonarrative dissonance overdose when the main quest is about hurrying to save thousands of people from an incoming disaster but the hero keeps playing card games with everyone they meet
Speaking of card games, my favourite example of this is Witcher 3.
I GOTTA FIND AND SAVE CIRI, SHE'S IN TERRIBLE DANGER! ...but first, Imma collect every Gwent card
That's the exactly example I had in my head!
