open world

rpg

mmorpg

text based

retro

indie

visaul novels?

addventure

multi-choices

rogulike

    You could use system requirements lab website to see what games you can play with your specific computer. Instead of knowing what games you want to play but don’t know if they will work you will instead have a list of games you know will likely work and can pick from those.

    Guild Wars 2, has free to play tier, and no monthly sub if you buy. Definitely a dank game and I ran it for years and years on a piece of SHIT laptop from 2013-2014

    Minetest is a decent MC clone, open source and whatnot. There’s also a few mods out there that tries to replicate it. (inb4 someone says minetest is an engine and not a game)

    Highly suggest SIGNALIS

    It follows the style of slient Hill and the original resident evil 1 and 2 with its own unique storyline if you are into survival horror

    Great roguelike “Shattered Pixel Dungeon”

    This is a free (as in freedom) game, I’ve done dozens of runs, there was enough depth and graphics are pixel art. Available for computers, phones, whatever

    Factoryo, Rimworld, Oxygen not Included, if you are into building sims. Dyson Sphere Program might be a bit heavier.

    On the Open Source side, OpenTTD, Widelands, or generally most OS games.

    You can practically run everything that was launched before 2012~.

    guild wars 2, war thunder, world of tanks, team fortress 2, CSGO, random free MMORPGs (you can filter them on steam).

    Have you tried interactive fiction (text adventures)?

    There’s a yearly competition (https://ifcomp.org), the winners of the last 27 years should keep you busy for a while. They come in various file formats you will need players for, but some have a “play online” function.
