Disco Elysium
There's no combat, only dialogue and dice rolls against your skills. Those skills are 24 voices in a detective's head, and which ones you level decides which thoughts you can have and which leads you can follow. Force every check to succeed and there's no game left.
Where it sits
How strongly Disco Elysium leans on each of the three dimensions.

HighStrategy carries Disco Elysium: routing, resource management, and optimal decisions decide the outcome. What would break it is a perfect coach or engine calling the best move.
