Transformice. Used to be a flash-based but it's since been standalone. You and others play as mice, and try to get the cheese and make it back to the mousehole. One player is the leader or "Shaman" to lead the way to victory.

Old fashioned hectic fun.

Laugh at me all you want, but I still play Overwatch. That and also Minecraft survival. Find a server made by a creator or community that you enjoy and you will have a good time.

TF2 and VRChat, despite not owning a VR headset.

Maybe Ace Combat 7 if I have absolutely nothing running in the background on my PC.

Man, it USED to be this really awesome point-and-click adventure in flash (remember that) called The Mystery of Time and Space or MOTAS for short. You woke up in this small room with no memory of who you are and no knowledge of where you are and have to work out a series of progressively harder click puzzles in order to progress.

The first level

As the game progressed you get a bit more of the story (I won't spoil too much here you can find this game on an app called "flashpoint" that let's you play old flash games) but suffice to say you're pretty much alone for the whole thing, just trying to figure out WHERE you are HOW you got there and just WHO you are!

The game also had a kick-ass (can I say that here?) soundtrack. The music was mostly cribbed from an old MIDI CD but it included tracks like a really cool version
of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

"The Way You Look Tonight" by The Lettermen (the most popular version of the song was by Frank Sinatra)

and a jazzy midi track called Jive XG by Sam Cardon

The Mystery of Time and Space started out in 2001 with a few levels, but more were added over time, culminating with the 20th level, released in May 2008. Unfortunately the end of flash and the creator Jan Albartus' unwillingness to learn HTML5 (rumored) lead to the game's ending on a cliffhanger. Shame.
