What game should I get my bf to play?

So essentially, my bf, if he plays games, will play sandbox (Minecraft, Terraria), whereas I find those games incredibly boring and tend to play RPGs, like NieR and Persona, or the outliers Warframe and Genshin.

I want to play something with him that'll sort of split the difference. My first thought was Oblivion, and he likes horror so maybe Silent Hill 2.

Do you guys have any thoughts? It should be noted that he'll also play weird lil indie games, like that one where you play a lil guy and have to wait two years(?) or so for your master, so he's not like wholly opposed to a story-based experience
