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!

    Thank you very much. I think isometric RPGs will be the sort of thing I’ll definitely try.

    Sorry for not being to focused but yeah, after this brainstorm with your help I think I’m searching for something that mimics board games (which I love and play) more than anything else. Maybe it’s this year that I finally get into D&D playing, since I have the books for 5ed and enjoyed reading them very much but never played.

      That genre of “isometric” RPGs are sometimes also called “CRPGs” (where the C stands for either “Classic” or “Computer” depending on who you ask)

      I recommend Dragon Age Origins, Divinity Original Sin, Pathfinder Kingmaker, and Pillars of Eternity

      No worries, video games are a huge market, so it’ll always take some time to find the niche which fits you best.

      There exist a few online and PC versions of well-known board games, such as Dominion, Codenames or Scythe. And there is the general purpose Tabletop Simulator. I haven’t looked at those, but you might want to look into them.
