Psychonauts didn’t come to mind but it’s actually a really good suggestion.
Comment on Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

Bioshock Infinite - Elizabeth as a constant companion is a big theme in the game.
Beyond Good and Evil - A lot of great supporting cast like Pey’j.
Baldur’s Gate 3 - Massive emphasis on the relationships you have with your companions.
Brutal Legend - A quasi-RTS where caring for your bandmates and roadies is the only way to win.
Disco Elysium - Kim Kitsuragi, enough said.
Firewatch - Story driven rooted in character relationships, about being alone but trying to stay connected.
Hi-Fi Rush - Great cast of characters who are heavily involved with story and often around or talking to you.
Just Cause 3 - Probably the best in the series, for threading the comedy/action needle and giving you characters that are really lovable.
Katamari Damacy - Feel the love of the King of All Cosmos!
Life is Strange - Rooted entirely around your relationships with close friends and classmates.
Mad Max - Your own personal Gollum!
Nier Automata - You’ll always have your PODs.
Portal 2 - Wheatley will keep you good company.
Psychonauts / Psychonauts 2 - How can you be lonely when you’re inside someone else’s mind?
SkateBIRD - Make friends with birds!
Terraria - There’s always some new villager to find.

I felt oddly alone in Psychonauts, though.
Also, is your PFP yellowboze?

is your PFP yellowboze?
Yes it is.
I can see why you felt that but all the characters in both games are so wonderful that to me it was the opposite feeling.

My pick as well. It’s well written with a nice relationship at its center.

Which typically culminates in rolling up everyone on Earth by the time you get to the final stage, no less. If that’s not a group hug, I don’t know what is.

Let’s roll up to be a single star in the sky.
Such a killer fucking happy soundtrack, too.

To your edit, similarly the final sequence of Nier Automata is so deeply rooted in not being alone, and encouraging one another, and being there for one another. A chance to break the cycle.
