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.

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 (I've only played the 2005 version, not the recent remake).
The Turing Test.
X-Com Enemy Unknown.
What Remains of Edith Finch.
Horizon: Zero Dawn.
Batman: Arkham Asylum + City + Origins + Knight.
The Talos Principle.
Prey (2017, not the original Prey which has nothing to do with it as far as I know).
Dishonored.

The Uncharted series is also great, but only 4 and The Lost Legacy are on PC. I'm not sure I'd recommend playing it without having played at least 2 and 3, which are only on PlayStation currently. 1 is fun but dated and the story is not as strong as the later games (but I'd still recommend it if you get the chance to play 1-3).
