@davillain-: I've never heard of Soma and Transistor until now but they do look really good so I will definitely try them. As for Witcher and Resident Evil series, they've been on my list for a long time so I guess I should finally play them. Thank you!
Yeah SOMA and Transistor are good. SOMA is a horror game, however.
If you enjoy Transistor, might want to check out Bastion as well (same developer); it has a "dynamic narrator" or something like that, makes for a really immersive experience, feels like you're kind of playing with someone, or with someone watching you lol. Really charming games. Do you have Steam Link or a controller? They're really fun couch games, something I rarely endorse lol.
Along those lines, there's also Hyper Light Drifter. It doesn't really have any formal sort of story; instead it relies almost solely on environment, ambiance, and implied feeling and stuff. Really fun game, very trippy, retro, bitty game. Gave me the shivers, to be honest.
There's also Ori and the Blind Forest, which is a really touching, cute, sad, awesome, fun...pretty much every emotional experience on the spectrum. It's like if you could take the feeling of watching a Pixar movie and feel that way while playing a game, that's how Ori and the Blind Forest is.
This might seem kind of out there, but I found Darksiders 2 to have a really cool story, characters, and environment. Kind of whimsical, gothic, fairy tale. I know at it's core it's a button-mashing action game like any other, but for some reason the story and lore really struck me as awesome.
If you're looking for something kind of goofy, fun, but also incredibly awesome there's Brutal Legend. It has a really cool premise and the gameplay will remind you a lot of Alice in some ways. It's a few years old at this point, but it looks good enough and it just oozes style and charm. Lots of awesome voice talent, music, and just coolness.
Papers, Please is an interesing game. It's not really like any game you, or at least I, have ever played; sort of half puzzle, half investigation, half mind game. You basically play a clerk at a border checkpoint and you allow people in or deny people entry based on their credentials and/or how strict your country is. They will sometimes try to bribe you, or maybe they will lie to you. But you also have a family to support and they get sick, or hungry, or cold....and these people you let in, they might be a doctor and they could do a lot of good but you could get in trouble letting them in. Or they could be a drug dealer, but they bribe you with medicine to cure your dying son. It's a really atmospheric game despite being not really all that warm and, well, atmospheric.
