I'm playing that game now, actually.

I love the combat, the music, and the characters so far, even though I'm only on the first mission (the one after the intro).

(PLEASE don't spoil anything for me).

Gris. A platformer. Nice visual, nice song, clean uncluttered interface, simple yet emotional story. Also the original Shadow of the Colossus albeit for different reasons.

Several music based games may qualify too but tbh I often find them too loud/busy/hectic with a lot of audio and visual effects going on at once. Feels like I'm in a night club or something haha

Okami
Ico
El Shaddai

Those are the top ones that come to mind when thinking about games that qualify as visual/graphic art.

Writing, direction, cinematography... that's probably a different thread entirely.

Taking art in a broad sense:

Dark Souls series/Elden Ring
Shadow of the Colossus
Katamari series
Final Fantasy X (worldbuilding) and XIII (soundtrack)
Limbo/Inside
Forza Horizon series (incredible depictions of real locations)
Elder Scrolls series (worldbuilding)
Super Mario Galaxy(s)/Odyssey
GTAV/RDR2 (incredible simulations of reality)
World of Warcraft
