Music and film don't demand that you engage with them in the same way as video games. There are some games where you literally cannot play them without engaging with their narrative and message. Spec Ops: The Line is a good example of this. It actively pushes back against the player's natural inclination to play it like a modern military shooter and not absorb the message.
