Art Games

Games made with an artsier sensibility.
This isnt a sneer at non-"art" games but to just highlight a particular subset of games, all video games are art obviously and being an "art game" doesnt necessarily make your game good.

Open to suggestions on any additions or removals
One game per series and no fangames

Awesome list, although I'm a little confuse as to why MGS2 is here but MGS1 or MGS3 isn't. Imo I feel like those fall under a similar level of artsy

I would add Rain (PS3, 2013) to this list, if this list is for general categorization purposes.
