I'd give it to From Software.

I disagree, Think this developer is the has the most overrated worldbuilding out there. People are just willing meaning on whatever they make. Just a cheap trick where gamers, starving for actually decent storytelling in gaming are walking straight into scrapes to fill a void.

I would grade something as portal 2, or dwarf fortress as literary vehicle vastly superior

I love their games but the stories are normally painfully abstract and difficult to piece together.
From Software games work because they force the player to fill in the gaps of a non existent story.

They are always highly gameplay focused, basically not even possessing a story you could follow.

Give it to Hideo Kojima.
I'd give it to team Silent for their writing of Silent Hill 2.
All of them deserve one
Then to Sam Lake.
