It's just another medium for telling stories; it lets you experience the story as it's being told. (Really, video games are just a stepping stone to VR experiences.) There are stories that you can tell in novels that can't be told in movies, and stories that you can tell through the medium of games that you can't tell in novels, etc. Of course, this depends on what games you're talking about. I wouldn't say that any Atari 2600 games advanced the story-telling medium
but on the other hand something like FFVII certainly did.
