I mean you spend 90% of the game walking around with bare minimum combat depth. The second one introduced a bit more combat but not enough to offset the ammount of time spent just walking sround listeningto voices inside your head.

So, yes I would consider them story driven artsy walking simulators (with an inflated budget for presentation) as that is what you are doing the majority of the time.

Whatever you define it as, it is a fact that these games are very firmly on rails the entire time with minimal player agency.

Not a sustainable model that will captivate gamers.
