Sea of Stars.
I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and it's awesome. The story is decent and the graphics and design are top notch. It was so captivating that I pretty much didn't play anything else while I was working through the game.

Disco Elysium
The only run I haven't done is the fascist run because I cannot be a dick to Kim.
I have played "The Invincibles" recently. It's a beautiful walking sim.
I recently got "Yakuza Like a Dragon" from my Humble Choice bundle and it's so good it's made me want to check the rest of the series.

‘Outer wilds’ don’t look it up. The most fun is play ing it for the first time. It doesn’t hold your hand though.
Seconding this, and its a great game but only if you do like games where there is a story line, but its up to you to find it.

Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.
Story first games: Tacoma, What Remains of Edith Finch, Life Is Strange, Botany Manor(more puzzle than story), Open Roads, Lake, Deliver Us The Moon, Firewatch, Kona, Day of the Tentacle (The remaster is incredible)
For more standard shoot or action games with good writing/story I love the remedy games, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Control.
I was never a huge fan of Telltale style story games that much, but I really enjoyed the Back to the Future one that came out years back. Not sure if that’s still available anywhere though.
Spiritfarer, To the Moon, Gris (no words in this one but still a good story imo), anything SuperGiant has ever made with my favorite being Transistor.
Definitely anything SuperGiant. Bastion, Hades, and Transistor are some of the only games I've actually finished, and the sound tracks are incredible.
The Blackwell series, West of Loathing, Talos Principle II, To The Moon series.

Nier automata, nier replicant, Yakuza like a dragon, FF7R, Baldurs Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Control, star wars fallen order/survivor
In Stars and Time is especially appropriate for Pride Month!
Disco Elysium is phenomenal as well.
I absolutely adored a low budget game called Firewatch. It’s first person and your only contact with another human is through a radio. You’re running away from your life and work for a summer in a fire watch tower in a national park.
The story is nice and the characters are interesting and flawed and relatable.
Buy it on sale and have a fun evening or two with it.

Indie games are absolutely killing it these days, I love em. In Stars and Time, Animal Well, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, so many are fantastic.
Me, spending hours on Age of Empires 2 and loving it
This is a respectable pursuit.
Or play factorio... Look at the time, ah it hasn't changed, then an hour later notices the date incremented. Oh
Or Civilization, where one more turn becomes five hours where you've barely moved.
Gods I was strong then.
That's when you find yourself asking the important question, "What day is it?"
i have like 370 hours of factorio, and i've only really played it over the period of about. 4-5 months, though i've owned it for a year or two now.
Factorio is just one of those games. For anybody that likes open world sandbox games and technical stuff, you already own factorio, yell at me in the replies.
Such a good game. Especially if you get a multiplayer game of people with different logistical strengths.

10/10 setup. Only disappointment is that the PC is running Windows, and not GNU+Linux.
