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.
Tales of Maj Eyal is an oldschool turn based roguelike game that is free to play (with paid DLCs or steam edition) and should run just fine on your system. It has an adventure mode that lets you play with no punishment for dying for a more stress free experience. It also has a global in-game chat with others who are playing the game, despite it being a single player roguelike, which is kinda cool for that community aspect.
Hypnospace Outlaw is a fantastic game about exploring an alternate version of the internet as it was in the 90's, only this one is accessed via headsets when asleep. It sounds weird, but is super chill, and hits the nostalgia pretty hard. It feels like its own community all by itself!
