From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

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!

How about: Stardew Valley, Dwarf Fortress, Legends of Grimrock or Rift Wizard? Vastly different genres though.

Also dead cells, Rim world, into the breach, slay the spire. Ran fine on my old i5.

I've played Stardew Valley and loved it until the part where it's only about getting that perfection score. Dwarf Fortress seems very complex. Can you play it casually? I saw that it involves a lot of reading which doesn't threatens me but if by playing it casually I would be missing most of the stuff maybe it's too demanding. Legend of Grimrock look very old-school, remembers me of Elvira!! Does it have any sort of a community?

Dwarf fortress is very complex but it’s also very chill. You can spend a lot of time reading, but you don’t have to read every single little detail. Grimrock is old school style dungeon crawl which is a lot of fun, I haven’t played it very much myself! There is two in the series iirc.
