What are some videogames for big-brained people such as myself?

You mean games that you actually have to be smart to play, or just semi-complex systems? Or is it just puzzle games you're looking for?

Complicated games would be like Magic: The gathering (building your own deck and shit), Football Manager, most Paradox games, Dwarf Fortress, Path of Exile...

A bit easier on the systems I guess Rimworld, Factorio, Project Zomboid, Anno series...

Puzzle games I'm not too into, but Portal, blue prince, Silent hill and the like could pass

Add some more context and I'll try to help narrow it down better

Bean and Nothingness is the most difficult puzzle game I know of.
Less than 25% have completed the tutorial island.

Zachtronics games are pretty comfy, more busywork than real difficulty though.

Capitalism Lab and Wall Street Raider. unfortunately the dev of the latter is the ultimate boomer and you can literally only buy it by mailing him a cheque.

Counter Strike
Roblox
Tabletop Simulator
Toca kitchen 2
Unreal World
Mount and Blade Warband with brytenwalda mod
Gregtech Community Edition Unnoficial
Among us
The original deus ex
Eye: Divine cybermancy

And Limbo of the lost but it's hard to find because the puzzles are actually hard and it required nearly 20 years for someone to actually descypher what the story was all about so good lick.

If you think you're really big-brained, try NetHack, Angband, or ADOM without reading any guides or wikis, just the basic interface manuals.

maybe for opus magnum and infinifactory but you gotta be genuinely intelligent to beat his other games

SpaceChem as well. I know Zachtronics games have a hard lategame but it takes hours before there is any serious challenge. They do make you feel smart pretty much immediately though.

The advantage of (the good modern) sokoban style games is that there is very little busywork. You spend your time coming up with the solution, not implementing said solution. My favorite ones are
>Bean and Nothingness
>Can of Wormholes
>A Monster's Expedition
>Stephen's Sausage Roll
>An Architect's Adventure
Baba Is You has too much busywork for my taste.

I found spacechem to be one of his hardest games personally
