Chorus is a space dogfighting game that's quite fun. Has good storytelling. Doesn't pad time with repetitive/recycled quests so progression always feels unique. Some people find the inner monologue of the protagonist annoying but it's fine imo
By NOLF you mean No One Lives Forever? If so a quick search gave me this "revival" site, seeing the Windows targets i bet that runs on Wine
Soul Hackers 2 is a nice little palette cleanser of an RPG. Not as expansive as other Megaten games but it kept me engaged all the way through. The main party are all adults too which is a nice change of pace.
Gravity Rush
Alba is a very cute and relaxing game, but it's good! And the eponymous main character is a little girl.
there's a demo for a game on steam called Laika: Aged Through Blood which has a badass motorcycle mom
Play Gris, if for no other reason than the art. It's just so beautiful.
I reply it from time to time. I love it!
Seconded
The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Dreamfall Chapters
This is what I was coming here to recommend. April is a great character, and the series is really good. The first is very much old-school point & click, with the sometimes highly obscure puzzles that entails, but the story is excellent.
Great lists already. I'll add What Remains of Edith Finch
Good is an incredibly subjective term. May be you can try Control. Or, if you're into rythm games and metal, I'd recommend Metal: Hellsinger.
