We chat about videogames and videogame accessories.

So I've been thinking a lot about artistic video games lately, and it's depressing me that I can't really think of many (specifically those that are artistic in a literary/thematic/symbolic way, great visual design is pretty common).
About the only games I've played that used sorta-"poetic" symbolic elements to a purpose are Hotline Miami, SMT: Strange Journey, Bioshock 1 and Infinite (which had the minor downside of being terrible but it gets on the list because the designers sure tried), and ridiculously heavy-handed indie games that are basically just an interactive metaphor. And even worse, all of those are pretty superficial symbols and every attempt is made to beat you over the head with them.
I dunno, it just disappoints me a bit that none of the games I really love provide much to talk about on a symbolic level. Does anyone have examples of games that felt, as it were, "literary"? I've already heard good stuff about Shadow of the Colossus, Silent Hills, MGS?, and Please, but I think there's got to be more interesting stuff out there.
