I think, when done right, games are the best medium for storytelling.

  • they can do the job of both movies and books. Games like dark souls use more vague descriptions to spark imagination beyond what's onscreen
  • they have a tactile feedback that no other medium has. Example being God of War (2018). When atreus is on his dickhead arc, he actually stops responding to player input, so the player really feels the change in his character.

The only downsides are that they're harder to make than other mediums, and can be much less accessible.
