What films feels structured like a video game, almost like playing one ?

I know Mad God feels like an adventure of multiple levels, almost like an Indie game. But Mad God is really only one of a kind

I know (the most "videogame-ish") games didn't really create their own kind of narration, but then it felt more innovative in gameplay, but that's precisely these inspiring movies I'd like to find. The most striking example being Mamoru Oshi's Angel's Egg, very similar from Soulsborne/FromSoftware narration.

"Well that's impossible, you forced your inspirations into the film" Sure but you could say that about any art ever. Otherwise, just see question as such :

- What films have the least common visual-storytelling, that is currently more evocative of videogames ?

-What films clearly inspired such and such games ?

-What films seem to reproduce videogame mechanics (Iron Lung as the most faithful adaptation?) ?

-What films you could literally see be adapted into a game ?

please don't just answer any westerns for Red Dead Redemption, that would be a bit boring. Sony games and relatives do not really count and feel more cinematic/filmic than the films I've cited there ^
