Games these days, just as before, are fantastic. Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring(Nightreign), etc. And I've not even listed quite a few of my favorites cause they're not popular enough for most people to have heard of them.
Weird to say you don't game these days but also make blanket statements about games these days :p

And you choose then to NOT give those games you love more exposure and share them with the rest of the world?!
I'll start: windows version of Uplink game works great in proton, and if you install uplinkos mod on it, it's a super fun Hollywood-style hacking game: https://www.moddb.com/mods/uplink-os
Heh, sorry. Someone else asked for a list so I made a short one, figured I'll send it here as well :) They range in obscurity, but I'd not rate any of them as "mainstream".
In no particular order and in no way an exhaustive list:
Lies of P.
Baba Is You.
Ender Lilies/Magnolia.
Rain World.
Pillars of Eternity 1/2.
Return of the Obra Dinn.
What Remains of Edith Finch.
the "We Were Here" series.
1000xResist (played this one just a month ago, what a game).
If I could choose a single game to experience again, it would be Outer Wilds. I played it with my partner, streaming it over Discord, and it was a truly amazing ride, start to finish. Loved the DLC as well.
Hearing the theme still gets me emotional and very sentimental.
Hmmmm, sure. I'm not sure if I'd label them "obscure", they've all got a couple 1000 reviews on Steam. But they're certainly not mainstream to the level of my previously listed games(, with Disco Elysium not really being mainstream either tbh, but people know of it to some degree).

If you liked Obra Dinn you should try out 'The Roottrees are Dead'. Very similar 'fill in the gaps via investigation' core gameplay loop, but I found it more engaging/less repetitive.
