I really enjoyed Hades, which is a lot more story-heavy than it looks from the outside. Historically loved stuff like Braid (hence "borderline pretentious") and happily replayed, but there's fewer recent titles on my radar here & I'd love to find more.
Edit: come to think of it, some of the Lucasarts remasters are well worth revisiting. I went through the cleaned-up Grim Fandango some time ago & it was a lovely break.

If you like Point & Click Adventures then there are also many "newer" entries that are worth looking at. Primordia [0] (2012 so not that new, but the Linux port is) and Strangeland [1] are my favorites from the ones I have recently played.
