As someone guilty of over-analyzing it myself, it totally uses game mechanics to tell its story too - in its level design, use of light and darkness, combat, movement.

It's not even in first place for an opening FF FMV at the time it came out.

if overanalysis is the benchmark then i wonder why we didn't get any umineko votes
Because ART still needs to be good and I'm not lumping Umineko in with the greats after Episode 8.

Which is also why I don't think Death Stranding should really be here, that was too polarizing.

I can't in good conscience call Umineko art considering its original artwork

Like Silent Hill 2 as a book is basically the same thing.

Nah that OST is necessary

Still going through Umineko, I genuinely do like the old Umineko art.

Silent Hill 2 is the only one I don't feel 100% on. Braid is probably 5th for me; though, I always associated Braid with the popularity of indie games rather than art games in particular. Though, I guess they go hand-in-hand.

Also, as someone who doesn't like FFVIII in general, Liberi Fatali is GOAT.

I agree, but I don't think it uses those to tell a story in a way that good writing in a book can't. They're basically just used to add to immersion.

Anyway I'm not trying to derail too hard into Silent Hill 2 here, just that I don't think I'd ever include it on a Rushmore for this unless the criteria was notoriety in discussion. But I definitely get why it's being voted with that in mind now even if I don't personally agree.

I feel like if you posted that without context on social media you'd get people calling it AI-generated.

If Pegasus was more metal, he would have his own dirge.
