Art is defined not by the person who makes it, but by the person who accepts it as art. (IMO) I've played games I would consider art, but I've played many that are just something to do.

Today you're an artist if you take a shit on a canvas.

That is not my definition of art! There has to be things like originality, skill and creativity involved for me to consider something art. When it comes to games, I also think they have to do more than just give a dopamine fix. I've played a few games that felt like art to me

Halo
Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
Baldur's Gate
Neverwinter Nights
