- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Not all inclusive, just a list of games I've personally enjoyed for both story and gameplay. All of these are story-heavy though:
-Dishonored -Dragon Age series -Fable series -Fallout series (3 and New Vegas are my favorites) -Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice -Middle-Earth: Shadow of War -Oblivion -Pillars of Eternity -Shadowrun -Yakuza: Like a Dragon (haven't played the others enough to have an opinion) -Titanfall 2
I just never realized how many I had already played until you listed them out! I've been meaning to try pillars of eternity, so I guess now is as good a time as any. And I've never played the Fable series. Do you feel they have held up the test of time?
I second Yakuza: Like a Dragon!
I still think Yakuza 0 is the best starting point, but wouldn't discourage anyone from starting with Like a Dragon, either.
I wanted to try it, but I think I saw that it's turn based. Haven't been much of a fan of turn based games in the past. Unless maybe I'm mistaken?
Seconded on hellblade, that game is fantastic storytelling.
Also pillars and TF2 are vastly different styles but great games.
Gone home and firewatch are calm story driven games on the short side, but I'm not sure if they are available on gamepass.
If you haven't already, play the batman games.
Absolutely loved Hellblade, and very much looking forward to the sequel.
