Gameplay can be considered a work of art. As tech expands gameplay becomes more sophisticated thus allowing for movements to cause us to emotionally respond. It doesn't even have to be movements interacting with the environment with mood change like in Journey or flower, but rather a setting or a build up of gameplay events up to a climactic use of power in gameplay (IE: from low to high powered attacks and a finale of a masterfually animated qte), or in Shadow of the Colossus. What would you do to save the woman you love? How many Colossi would you hunt, climb and kill to revive her? By the end of the game you look at back at all you did just to save that girl sprinkle on some sad yet spiritual music and it hits you like a ton of bricks. The soundtrack for that game was amazing.
