I haven't played Goblin Stone, but I do play a lot of excellent single-player RPGs.
Start with Divinity Original Sin 2 Director's Cut if you haven't played that. Be preapred to save often, and re-load just as much. It's gruellingly difficult at first if you aren't used to CRPGs, but the quality of the characters, world and writing is just way too good to miss.
If you're up for something a little jankier, Geneforge 1 - Mutagen originally came out in 2001, and was re-mastere for a 2021 re-release. This re-release is honestly so good. I didn't expect to like it, but the world is so charming, and the way you interact with it is actually really cool - finding and unlocking jars of spells that either provide excellent utility, or let you create new summons to aid in battle, feels really rewarding. That said, it doesn't hold your hand, and you won't really find a walkthrough online - the community is much more interested in providing the tools to help you get yourself out of confusion, like maps of each area. As with DOS:2DX, save often, and re-load judiciously.
I can't really talk about single-player RPGs without mentioning Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. It's unneccesarily bloated with side quests, but it is also gorgeous, sounds incredible, and has satisfying combat. It has some drawbacks, like being Switch exclusive, but overall a fantastic game.
