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!

If you're into horror and lovecraftian imagery, the first Darkest Dungeon might be a great fit.

In essence, you have to recruit teams of characters to send on missions, in order to get resources to upgrade these characters and build up the dilapidated hamlet your ancestor left behind.

It doesn't require quick reactions. Its turn based, and you have all the time in the world to make your next choice. It is a great example of turn based RPG that isn't in the JRPG style. Built around a creative approach to Lovecraftian horror, its also deeply punishing. So expect to lose. A lot.

I don't know if it can run on your computer, but as far as I know it is not the most taxing game. Wholehearted recommendation.

I will definetely check it. It seems like a cool story and not very stressful. Does it have an online community?

Lol I guess that depends on how you define stressful. It doesn't require fast reaction time, but it will definitely prompt you to feel some powerful emotions at times.

It has a big community on discord and reddit. The devs recently released Darkest Dungeon 2, so a lot of attention is paid there.

Their discord is: https://discord.gg/darkestdungeon

Funny you should say stressful haha. Cause its only stressful in the sense that your heroes will be stressed out, and you might be when a plan falls through. Hope you have fun if you check it out!
