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.

Based on your description and games played I'd say "Furi" and "Transistor". Second is made by Supergiant Games and all thier stuff is fantastic. I loved thier stories and the gameplay was unique in each.

Hades, which is also made by Supergiant, is also fantastic. It's a great intro to the roguelite genre. I've also heard that their first game, Bastion, is great too, but I haven't played it

Can confirm Bastion is great.

Even then their work was top shelf aesthetically. The art, story, music, atmosphere were all amazing. The gameplay was good at the time, but Hades does similar stuff better.

Can confirm, Bastion is a fun little hack and slash that does a couple of very clever things narratively.

Seconding Transistor. Opened the world of indie games to me. Great gameplay, atmosphere/music/art direction, and I love the voice acting even if it's a bit sparse. "Hey, Red..."
