Playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and I must say that having me create an online account, agree to eulas, provide my personal information and so on really gets me immersed in the cyberpunk dystopia before even starting the gameplay!

New web game that takes 2 min to play (and perhaps a lifetime to master?): Outsmart. “Five rounds, first to 3 wins. In each round, the higher bet wins. You have 100 total points, so bet wisely. Can you outsmart the machine?” https://labs.davidbauer.ch/outsmart/

Outsmart – a game of strategy and deception

A strategic betting game where you try to outsmart the computer, maybe for the last time ever.
