I don't know how old your kids are, but I'm going to keep these PG-13ish and lower. There's a lot of personal bias in here since I grew up loving games. I'll admit that I like a mindless shooter here and there, but I'll keep these in line with your criteria. * Portal 2 - Great story and puzzle game. The first one is fantastic too and is between 1-3 hours in length on the first time. * Zelda games - Decent story, good world building, heavy puzzle. I have a history with these games and have loved them for literally as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are playing these games with my dad. * Firewatch - Very heavy story, simple game play. I loved the story for this game and the art style was fantastic. This was the first game I saw in 4k and I was blown away by how crisp it was. * Chrono Trigger - Heavy story, classic SNES RPG. Square absolutely killed it in the 90s and this is a fantastic example of that. * Final Fantasy 7 - Heavy story. Such a great game for so many reasons. Fairly long (40-55ish hours) and requires some strategy. RPGs in general have a decent track record of good stories. There's a lot of good stuff out there, and playing games with your kids is great. My dad did it with me and those are some fantastic memories. Definitely one of the things that made us so close and we still talk about games on our weekly calls.
