Video Games Are Boring

This is exactly how I felt about Red Dead Redemption. Years after beating the game, I couldn't tell you much about any individual mission.

I do remember staring at the in-game sunset as it cast shadows across the open prairie and thinking, "Wow."

I was about to recommend RDR, because I feel the same way about it. I intentionally avoid taking the 'fast way' to places and ride my horse everywhere. I gather herbs, hunt, take on side-quests, or just enjoy the ride. It's very zen.

...until you finally collect that last blue flower, and get eaten by a mountain lion :D

On a similar note, Zork I had a textual description of a sunset (being a text adventure) that, for whatever reason, I found massively peaceful.
