"good" is subjective, but I can recommend the Tomb Raider reboots.

Great list from @mint, just a few more:
Gris is an absolute gem.
The A Plague Tale duology is also up there (with Requiem being my favourite game of all time, so I'm extremely biased, sorry / not sorry :D).

• metroid
• returnal
• beyond good and evil
• the FFXIII trilogy (yes they're good and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise)
• Bayonetta
• A lot of the Resident Evils
• Celeste, bonus points for being very gay as well
• Half-Life: Alyx
• Tales of Berseria (if you like anime stuff. the protag's outfit is trash but she's probably the best Tales MC IMO)
• Telltale's Walking Dead
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The female protag is canon as far as I'm concerned
• Night in the Woods
• Control
• Nier Automata
• Kena: Bridge of Spirits
• Signalis

Great list. I would also say most RPGs, if they're any good, will give you the choice -- Mass Effect, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity, the Divinity games, etc.

Lots of adventure games as well -- The Longest Journey/Dreamfall games, Life is Strange, Whispers of a Machine, etc.

Honestly, the number of games where you're trapped playing a lantern-jawed, grunty doofus is way, way less overwhelming than it used to be, which I really appreciate.

It’s funny, I really liked the outfit for Berseria. Something about a not well-groomed-in-the-middle-of-fights look stood out from the crowd.
