What games would you recommend for someone that only recently got into gaming? (self.gaming)

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? Edit: I play exclusively on PC.

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

There's a podcast group called The Besties and more importantly The Resties which currently are working on putting together a Required Reading list of video games. The idea is for someone coming into gaming fresh, these are the games which are the backbone of all concepts and mechanics in video games. So after playing them you will have a solid knowledge on gaming and can approach literally anything from then on.

This is a great idea. I'd say "required reading" for a PC gamer would be Half Life 1&2, Baldur's Gate (could sub DA:O since the mechanics are more than dated), Morrowind, Stalker, Doom (could sub 2016), The Witcher, maybe FFVII, Metal Gear 1-3, and a bunch of other iconic games.

Of course, there are plenty of more modern games with a bigger focus on playability and story.
