There's only one that's truly literary.

There are several problems with video games as literature. For one, there's next to no money in it, so nobody tries it in the first place. There's also the problem of movie games being the most popular way to make a popular game, even though they're cutscenes with meaningless gameplay in between at best, or a completely meaningless game that could have been a tv show at worst. There's also the fact that the ability to write a good story is near non-existent, and to have it be 'literary' i.e attempting to write something with meaning and purpose behind it is even more scarce. And then there's the problem of the medium itself, where it is not a creator conveying a message through their chosen medium, as in books, theatre, film, etc. but rather a creator making an experience for you, the player, where your input is the most important thing about the medium. Video games are completely unlike anything that has come before, and it is extremely difficult to craft one that would arguably reach the standards of art, or even literature.
