I've always been more into competitive games, like FPS and MOBA. But now, I'm starting to like more story-focused games that will add something to my life, or just awesome games that everyone should play at some time.

Do you guys have any to recommend?

So far I've played both Portal games, truly awesome, Hollow Knight and Celeste.

Disco Elysium
What Remains of Edith Finch
Sayonara Wild Hearts
Gorogoa (really pretty much anything by Annapurna)
Stardew Valley
Night in the Woods
Gris
Firewatch
Slime Rancher
Oxenfree
Fallout 3
Fallout: New Vegas (Fallout series isn't so much about great stories though)
The Witcher 3 (Pretty good story, but imo it's more focused on world building)
A Short Hike

More games that are more about gameplay then story:

Factorio
Satisfactory
Deep Rock Galactic (Rock and stone!)
Goat Simulator
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Townscaper
Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel (maybe 1 as well, avoid 3)
Papers, Please
Tomb Raider
The Stanley Parable

I'm always glad when I see someone recommend Night in the Woods. It took me to a place no other game has.
