I'd also second Portal 2, Fez, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and The Swapper (which has lots of philosophical story and solid puzzle mechanics - maybe the game most similar to Braid) as all being really good. The number-one recommendation has gotta be Braid, Jonathan Blow's previous game. Puzzles were often repetitive (hey, remember when you did a double-layer iteration of Technique X? now do a triple iteration of Technique X!) and seemed thrown together kind of at random, compared to the way The Witness clearly builds up a sequence of ideas. The Talos Principle is a puzzle game with a philosophical story, sure, but personally I thought it was poorly designed, especially compared to the likes of The Witness, Braid, Portal, etc.
