I tend to stick to games with interesting stories, with occasional exceptions if the gameplay is good enough.

Top pick from me before anything else would be The Last of Us Part 1 & 2.

Other than that, some I've enjoyed the most that come to mind are

• Bioshock. I haven't played the remaster yet, just the original. Bioshock Infinite was also heaps of fun. I haven't played 2 yet, it's on my backlog - I've read it was made by a different team.
• Alien Isolation.
• Resident Evil 4.
• The Turing Test.
• X-Com Enemy Unknown.
• What Remains of Edith Finch.
• Horizon: Zero Dawn.
• Batman: Arkham Asylum + City + Origins + Knight.
• The Talos Principle.

The Uncharted series is also great, but only 4 and The Lost legacy are on PC. I'm not sure I'd play through it without having played at least 2 and 3, which is only on PlayStation currently.
