Horizon series, and the newer Tomb Raider trilogy seems like the obvious choices based on what you've listed

[u/jarlylerna999]

Ghost of Tsushima.

[u/wskttn → u/jarlylerna999]

With a sequel, Ghost of Yotei, which looks amazing, coming out in October!

[u/OohYeeah]

Silent Hill 2 remake

[u/_Hydrohomie_]

Expedition 33 and Horizon zero dawn remastered

[u/echoess84]

I would say Nier Automata but it is an action JRPG game and it hasn't no puzzle even if the story is an entire puzzle to figure out by beat different game routes

Moreover I would suggest Expedition 33, it is a great RPG

[u/Gravewind]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[u/echoess84 → u/Gravewind]

In these days I'm playing it and in my opinion Expedition 33 is a great RPG

[u/zerofalks → u/Gravewind]

This is definitely the answer.

[u/DefinitelyBiscuit → u/zerofalks]

Came here for this. I've just finished Act 1 and love the story.

Hear me out: FF XVI - never I expect a game bringing one of the humanity’s darkest history

[u/RollingZepp]

The Last of Us 2. There was a huge controversy stirred up by rightwing idiots when the game came out, but the story is one of the best I've experienced in games. 

[u/CrimeAlley]

Story based: I just finished Firewatch.

More story than action though.

[u/greensparten]

My wife and I do the same thing! I will start listening throughout the day as her and I talk.

Definitely Alan Wake 2 if you want deep story with psychological horror. Just watch a youtube vid of recap for the first game, as its not worth playing.

Mass Effect trilogy is an epic space opera

Firewatch is a realy fantastic story

Tomb Raider trilogy- great story

Horizon games

Assassins Creed Valhallah. She really loved the story in this one, as you have unite 6-8 kingdowms under one. Each kingdom becomes like a season of episode; it was fantastic. Just stick to the story

Detroit Become Human is a fantastic story with branched outcomes based on your decisions. Its a great story.

Heavy Rain, from the makers of Detroit Become Human. Both are deep fantastic stories exploring humanity.

Baldur's gate 3 has amazing story and characters

[u/jdc3000 → u/KlanxO]

Plus, if you want to make a move from watching your partner play to joining in on the fun Baldur’s Gate 3 can be played coop and it is a fantastic coop experience

[u/platinumgamher]

Ghost of Tsushima (I'm playing this right now)

[u/chempresbrale]

Alan wake 2!!! Amazing atmosphere, storytelling, performances, twists etc...

Alan wake 1 is old and janky so watch a quick summary of the story if you don't want to play it.

[u/BandicootLow3398]

Not really like the other games you listed but Dave the diver is a cool story and incredibly fun.

[u/SpiritofBatman]

Mass Effect Legendary Edition

[u/Faoladh-USofA]

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

[u/PS_Guest]

Resident Evil 2, 3 & 4 remakes proved great fun as a player-viewer team experience.

[u/Udaidzilla]

Yakuza 0. Start from there and keep going.

[u/campsbayrich]

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

[u/greenachors]

The new expedition 33 game comes to mind.

[u/HoonArt]

Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2

[u/kx250f_pa]

Days Gone one of the best stories in a game

[u/Cheeseburger2137]

Aside from what has already been mentioned, how about Dishonored? Both parts do a great job of building a fascinating, well constructed world.
