- SOMA for an incredible story experience. Its not a shooter and has some horror elements, but you can disable the threat with lower difficulty. Its one of the few games that really uses the video game medium to tell a story that hits hard.
- Boomerang X is a very unique FPS, short runtime and is quite the interesting experience.
- Subnautica 1 for an atmospheric and unique take on survival. Has a good story that blends with the gameplay. You can avoid most of the unnecessary grind if you'd like.
- Superhot is a really short, fun and kick ass experience with an interesting story.
- Observer is like working through a crime story in a Blade Runner universe.
- Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. MD's main storyline is meh but has some pretty sick side missions that just happen out of nowhere, if you like exploring.
- Resident Evil 7 & 8 if you're in the mood for horror.
