No, because majority of games are either literal timewasters or esports slop.
The shit that passes as 'art' in videogames for most people is the equivalent of mind-numbing trash, too.
Games that I think actually transcend the medium (doesn't mean they're the only games, or that they're my favourite games because most of them aren't, but are clearly not just 'a game')
>Deus Ex
>Metal Gear Solid 1-4
>Fallout 1 and New Vegas
>Silent Hill series
>Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Bloodborne and Elden Ring (and before someone complains 2 is my actual favourite in the series, but it's very gamey)
>Disco Elysium
>STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
>Escape From Tarkov
Not so coincidentally most of these games focus a lot on atmosphere; it's gaming's strongest strength as a medium. The average movie cannot spend hours upon hours on low-level 'immersion' within a world. Also not so coincidentally half these games just rip off a great work from another medium
