Games by Established Artists
Titles which were designed, produced, directed, or contributed heavily to by artists with established careers or fine arts backgrounds outside of video games. Titles like Peter Gabriel: Eve do not count as they are made in association with an artist rather than with their direct involvement.
Notes state the artist(s) and their career outside of the games here, though there may be overlap of course.

Absolutely, added
Add Medal of Honor 1 and both Boom Blox games for the Wii. Steven Spielberg produced all three of those.
elden ring's world building was done by GRRM
Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote the scenario and all the music for L.O.L.: Lack of Love
Added with the exception of Elden Ring as his contribution to the game was only the 'mythos' of the game, he did not write the story itself.
diana hamilton's dreams, bill belichick offseason simulator
Going Down by Cyriak Harris
Down bad in the "hentai artist" row
Gitaroo man, by Mitsuru Nakamura aka 326
does that count?
does that count?
tomomi sakuba was the art director of garage: bad dream adventure, and he has published various artwork of surrealism priorly and after the release of the game
Added all of these except Itoi's ouevre
The dragons lair games and space ace for don bluth's involvement
9: The Last Resort might qualify: Robert De Niro executive produced, art direction by Mark Ryden
