    To me Disco Elysium was the next example of the “Art Game”.

    The game people bring up when discussing Game as Art, without actually explaining what makes it art.

      without actually explaining what makes it art.

      Is that happening? Everyone endorsing the game even in this post are going on at length what makes it great. I could drop a 20-page thesis about the themes, plots and interwoven interactive narratives, but I am guessing you don’t actually want to read that any more than you want to play a reading game to begin with.

      Maybe… and hear me out here, maybe some of you just don’t like arty games and rather do mindless clicking and grinding. That’s fine, just understand what’s what.
