This is the problem most people seem to have. For most action games, a lot of time is spent on tuning the game engine so that everything feels and looks right. For adventure games, since action sequences are something you stick into the game rather than pretty much being the game itself, they aren't implemented as well.

This I understand, especially for those who have difficulty playing action games due to hand-eye coordination.

This is actually very true of a lot of people, specifically older folks. Mainstream gaming is essentially ableist.
