I have not played The Path, but might check it out.
I am surprised you are able to pigeonhole movies/novels= entertainment while games = challenge.
I think all mediums at their best, offer all three. I just saw Primer the other night - have you seen it? It's not the best movie of all-time (I actually like Timecrimes more) but it's a perfect blend of all of those. In fact, Primer offers more of a challenge than any game...well, since Riven.
I do not undertstand any contention that the thematic narrative is not the central character to the best video games. That the tools to tell that story should remain subservient, that anytime that is not true, you are essentially playing shanghai. or tetris. Which are both challenging.
