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.

You've clearly already got a heap of comments, but fwiw, I recommend trying Xbox PC Game Pass for a month - you can subscribe and immediately cancel so it doesn't auto-renew.

Game Pass has flaws, for sure, but it can be great for just trying a whole bunch of different things you might not normally take a risk or or expect to like, so it can be great for figuring out what you like or expanding your genre horizons.

And there are lots of shorter, story-based games on there that you can play all the way through and finish, and probably won't want to replay for a while because there are so many other games to try, so if you play even one or two of those it's a great value for $9.99 a month imo.
