What games would you guys recommend for a guy near 50, who doesn’t have a gaming pc (my laptop is an i7, 16gb RAM and using onboard graphics) which tend to have an older community? I used to play RPG’s and my least favorite games are those first person war games.

Something that doesn’t require synchronous gaming and doesn’t have a lot of stress would be even nicer.

Thanks for any input!

    Cities Skylines is often the perfect game for me to just zone out and chill, it surely didn’t run on a smooth 60 fps for me on my i7 laptop with no gpu but it performed well enough for me.

    I just like to spend a couple of hours laying new railroads and streets and just expanding my city, be aware though the game can be a timesink if you’re not careful.

    “Hexcells Infinite” is a great stress-free (and cheap) game. It plays like Minesweeper, but every puzzle is completely solvable with just logic (there is never a need to guess!)

    What do you think of turn based games like XCOM? I’ve found I can enjoy the planning and execution of a plan more when I’m not stressing about actions per minute or micro managing a ton of things.
