Also, for the user who was curious, this character is Rabi from Epic Seven drawn by this guy. pixiv.net
Anyway please rate them. Which do you think is most efficient for telling an involved story? Is gameplay overrated in terms of being too much effort to program as opposed to storytelling?
What's the best storytelling software? A video game? A movie game? A visual novel?

a book is still the best, it does rely on the reader having an imagination though.

Don't drag video games down to the same level as movies. That's pretentious hipster bullshit. This is the 21st century.
Films are so passive; all you do is just sit back as something is TOLD to you, whereas games actually have some form of player interaction included in the narrative.
Being involved in the unfolding of the story makes beating a video game actually feel like an accomplishment. On the other hand, when you're finished watching a film, what have you gained? Nothing-- you've just lost two hours of your time with nothing to show for it.

I'm surprised to see someone who has some sense.
Anything performed by real people is automatically constrained in what it can depict, which is why video games, comics, and cartoons are the best formats. They can go in any mind-bending direction that would be impossible for "grounded" mediums. Books are mid-tier because they lack any sort of visuals, but they otherwise match the "can do anything" criterion for being an awesome way of telling stories.
manga/comic books are the fastest at cramming information into your head
visual novels I feel are better than traditional novels because the effort required to turn a novel into a VN is minimal
Video games are amazing when done right, but when it's more about farming and micro-transactions and ripping off Soulsbourne/Portal/Cookie Clicker with no real innovation, then it loses to your average cartoon. Higher skill ceiling, lower efficiency in translating creator effort to quality product.
