To me, Kojima is one of the clearest examples of how games are different than every other visual medium.
The man is a mix of Steve Jobs, David Lynch, and Jackson Pollock all in one.

The man isn't perfect. I feel a game like red dead redemption 2 is more closer to that perfect game we're looking for. It hits all the the marks in terms of story and systems based gameplay.
But as someone who is inherently drawn to over the top narrative-based games (see Persona 5, FF7, Detroit: Become Human etc.) I can't help but feel like his style of gaming is the future of narrative single-player experiences.
