  A good story is a good story, whether or not it is a game.A game with good mechanics might be decent, but a game with good mechanics and a good story is elevated beyond its Individual components.

    So yes and no. The truly best “video game” stories are the one that genuinely utilize player agency and decision making in a unique and memorable way. It separates what could be unique to video games as a storytelling form as opposed to a movie or novel where you aren’t literally controlling the protagonist.

    Not saying people who have never played games shouldn’t or can’t write a good video game story, but if you haven’t put time into a medium you often won’t know how to best utilize what makes it unique.
