Videogames are not about the same things movies are. This is most clearly illustrated by how we define film genres vs. video game genres. Film genres are generally organized by thematic content or visual style, e.g. science-fiction, western, horror, etc. Video game genres are generally organized by their interactive element - platformers, first-person shooters, role-playing games, etc.
Many of the best games are not about the plot or the visuals. Consider games like Minecraft, SimCity, Super Mario Brothers, or Tetris. These games connect with you because of what you do. Good cinema connects with you because of what you see.
This is just my opinion, but they are not.
