> If we rank games solely because of its writing and narratives, then all games

I don’t think anyone is proposing to solely rank games by their writing. Games are multi faceted. You can (try) to rank them by many aspects. How beautifull the graphics is, how engaging the game loop, how rewarding the puzzles or the progression, how well balanced it is. How realistic a simulation, how much it teaches you new skills, or shows you different perspectives.

Most people would agree that pacman, The Last Of Us, and Pokemon Go are all masterpieces in their own right but clearly they are not exceling along the same one dimension.
