+1 For ARK Survival Evolved Devs seem to be a fairly good job with it so far

Bastion and Transistor for really beautifull soundtracks and hear touching stories.
Tormentum - Dark Sorrow for good artstyle (like on arts of Zdzislaw Beksinski and Hans Rudolf Giger)
Spec Ops: The Line for best story in shooters thus far
Psychonauts for... I don't know what to tell. In game you travel into minds of other people. And worlds inside their minds are different. For example, inside military mind always war, etc.
The Stanley Parable for... well, warch trailers, I can't give this game good description.
(Well, I'm not sure, that I gave good description to even on of games on this list)

Some great titles from last year: Rocket League, Cities Skylines, Hand of Fate, Prison Architect.
Also, if you like open-world games then try some titles from Avalanche Studios: the Just Cause series, Mad Max, Middle-earth:Shadow of Mordor GOTY.

Far Cry: blood dragon
Hotline Miami
Hard Reset
Saints Row
And for something completely different:
Cinders
Gone Home
Also i would recommend:
Dwarfs!? Not everybody might like it, but there is f2p version of it you can try (no microtransaction s*** - just plain game cut to normal difficulty).
Also wanted to mention S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but it might be considered as horror game :)

Rally sim ; Dirt Rally (really hard but amazing !)
Survival : The Long Dark (great ambience and the campaign will be soon available)
Rpg : Pillar of Eternity
If you like Subnautica, you might want to check Stranded Deep
And if you want small game i can recommand ; Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Hand of Fate, Knights of Pen and Paper +1,
Papers Please, Hotline Miami, Choice of Robots, The Stanley Parable, ...
And so many more ! (Witcher 3, Rocket League, Crusader Kings 2, Killing Floor 2, Chivalry, ...)

How about some strategy games? I personally recommend any game by Paradox, especially Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II. Although you probably know them, in short they allow you to control any country or territory (in CK2) and manage virtually every aspect of it, including technology, commerce, politics and diplomacy. They are generally very complex, but also incredibly rewarding and addictive once you get the hang of it.

Suggesting Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy if you like rougelikes, dying Light if you like zombies, brothers: a take of two sons if you like to have feels :D

Transistor - Beautiful art and soundtrack, and I found the combat really fun.
Psychonauts - A pretty fun game with a decent sense of humor.
Luftrausers - A fun, kinda bullet hell-y game with quick rounds.
Downwell - Another game with quick rounds and an example of a simple concept done well.
Receiver - Not the most polished of games, but it's an interesting concept. I've had a lot of fun with this one.
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale - Play as the item shop owner in an RPG. Capitalism ho!

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, along with the ones that aren't FPS.

If you've played the witcher maybe you can try dragon age? Or the bioshock series? If you're into rpg/story mode then I definitely recommend to the moon. Not sure if the walking dead game is "horror" but it's also good. Tomb raider is also a great experience

If you like Assassin's Creed style games, I recommend you Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor.
By myself I recommend you Mark of Ninja, because it's my favourite game I ever played. Awesome 2D-stealth. Recommend to buy with Special Edition DLC, because it's add more features and extra levels, that really good, because only minus of base game - it haven't extra levels or map editor. And Left4Dead2 you can play it like forever because of AI Director system, Steam Workshop and a lot of modes and user created maps (look for them on sites like fpsbanana).
