Best narrative driven games on Gamepass, with equally solid gameplay? (self.gaming)

Hey all, I'm just looking for some solid story driven games on Xbox gamepass, that are equally fun to play. I had been recommended the Mass Effect series, and while I believe the story will be great, the first game is an absolute slog to get through right now.

What are some good story games that are equally entertaining in the actual gameplay that are currently on gamepass?

Heck, even just games with solid gameplay will do, if the story is serviceable.

Chained Echoes, if you like SNES-era JRPGs!

Omori is fantastic, but also incredibly heavy (depictions of various mental health problems and dark themes; don't play it if you're not in a good place), and is unfortunately leaving on 07/01.

Persona 3 and 4 are pretty good, but I REALLY wish we'd gotten the PS2 version of P3 (FES) rather than the PSP one (Portable).
