I agree that games are not quite there yet, people who already put them on the same level of depth that books or movies earned the “art to be taken seriously” badge for in the past seem to rarely consume either (or are of the type that will try to convince you that zombie and splatter movies should be viewed as a piece of art as similar in value as Schindlers List).

However one could already say that they are the most innovative (and interesting) art form these days.

Check out The Longing, Wanderlust: Travel Stories or Firewatch for recent emotionally deep games.
