    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)

    If you really wanted to, you could play Valorant with your setup, specially using competitive settings.

    But if instead you want to keep your sanity, games like:

    • The Binding of Isaac

    • RuneScape (and Old-School RuneScape)

    • Tunic

    • Cassette Beasts

    • Baba is You

    • Peglin (huh my phone’s autocorrect had a different idea about this word)

    • Vampire Survivors

    • Brotato

    • RetroArch to emulate most GameCube or older titles.

    • Kingdoms of Amalur

    Should all run and give you lots of fun.

    Editing because I remembered more:

    • The Ace Attorney Trilogy
    • Danganronpa
    • Slay The Spire
    • Hades
    • Celeste

        What are you feeling like currently? Do you want a game to casually open up, play a round, leave… Or do you want to me immersed in a world with beginning and an ending?

    Someone else said Vampire Survivors, the game I like a lot recently is 20 Minutes Until Dawn. Lots of guns, upgrades, and characters to have fun with.

    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.

    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
