PC because I'm fat and gay and employed, sadly.
How recent are we talking about and what did you play recently? What sort of games would you like to play, any preference there? Are AAA games okay or only indie games maybe? There are many question open, so its hard for anyone to recommend something for you. Right now Steam has a sales event going on, where lot of games are cheaper or very cheap price.
Little tip, you can use the Steam search by showing Singleplayer games, Games only (no DLC), hide free to play games, show games with discounts only and hide ignored and those you have in your library already: Steam Search
Within the last 5 years is recent enough for me.
As for AAA or Indie? I do not care, so long as it is simpleplayer and lacks any bloatware like anticheat, I do not care.
As for what I have played in the last 5 years? Pizza Tower, AntonBlast, Warhammer Boltgun, The Exit 8, Psychopomp Gold, POSTAL: Brain Damaged, A Hat in Time, Retro Rewind, and Scarlet Skips.
To my knowledge, none of these games have bullshit like aggressive DRM like Denuvo or any Anticheat. These are highly regarded Indie (some as big as AA budget) games loved by the community. Some cheaper and smaller in scope, others really huge and more expensive in price too. So there should be something for you.
And if you like like RPGs and don't mind AAA, have a look at the Final Fantasy 7 Remakes. Currently two parts are available and the games are quiet cheap nowadays (especially with the sales event going on). I call them simply Part 1 and 2 here, the third part arrives next year. You don't need any of the DLCs, the games are basically complete:
