If you haven’t tried it yet, I think Far Cry 5 fits your desired description somewhat. I only played it for the first time recently despite it coming out several years ago and it was a little “too real” at times.

It has over the top moments (like GTA) but I think the story is compelling and it’s not hard to see the parallels to modern day groups and events.

I haven't really played a Far Cry game since #3 and knew almost nothing about #5. Just did some reading about it and sounds almost exactly like what I was describing up there, hahah. Given I'll be spending at least a few months off work from an injury, playing #5 sounds like the perfect way to spend some winter afternoons. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely give it a shot!
