Specifically not looking for noun memorization tools, but more immersive adventure games where you can take your time understanding what's said.

Another thought, this Game Gengo video came to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_QrcROWKmA (You can skip to the end to see the recs in tier list form, or visit this link to see a bunch of games on various platforms in a spreadsheet.)

It's aimed specifically at learning Japanese, but a lot of the recs probably apply to many languages. And it's a little cheesy. Generally tho, he's going through and evaluating/recommending a bunch of games based on (Japanese) language support features.

In short, his biggest favorites from the linked video are:

  • Dragon Quest XI
  • Persona 4, 5
  • 999
  • Ni No Kuni
  • Voice of Cards (oddball - I think he just likes it, but could be an ad thing?)
  • Detroit Become Human
  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Nier Replicant, Automata
