open world

rpg

mmorpg

text based

retro

indie

There's a lot of great suggests already here, but I'll try to list off a few not mentioned (or mentioned less at least).

Super Tux Kart - open source racing game

Minetest - open source Minecraft style game

Emulators - always fun to play the classics

Android Games - through Waydroid (Linux), Google Play Games Beta (Windows), and Natively on some Chromebooks you can play Android games on a PC

DokiDoki literature club - a phsycological horror parody of visual novels

Unciv - Catan like open source strategy game

Dominaton - Risk like open source strategy game

Also, I would highly recommend against pirated games. Putting aside copyright debates, the idea of running some unknown executables on my device uploaded by an anonymous software pirate sends shivers up my spine. If you were really dead set on doing so, at least run them in a VM with nothing important on it.
