It definitely is... in terms of interactive storytelling. It's basically the only video game that has actually had consistently competently-acted cutscenes that are technically executed to a point where competent acting comes through, and a character-driven story, and with characters that are halfway believable as actual humans to boot. That's not a high bar for film or TV obviously but in the video game space it's apparently totally impossible to clear for some reason.

Granted I still haven't made a ton of progress through RDR2, so caveat that one. But I have played more or less everything else that could possibly try to make the claim to do likewise and... nope. Even when someone actively sets out to try to make a game that's basically an interactive movie like Detroit: Become Human, they just can't seem to pull it off.
