Eh I think there are at least a few notable differences compared to those list items. Most powerful one is storytelling. I’ve recently been reading a few books by naturalists (e.g. A Sand County Almanac, which is incredible) and that has changed my views far, far more effectively than any of the things you listed.

Other benefits video games might have even over a great story seem like they’d be notable: highly visual, and more interactive than books.
