Suggestions for games to enjoy with a 60-year-old dad?
he has played diablo 1 & 2, red alert 1 & 2, chinese paladin (early titles), some early fps, doom 3d / 1942, etc. now he prefers ww2 and plays world of tanks or warships. the issue is that the games have a steep learning curve, so he doesn’t watch many tutorials, which makes it hard for him to enjoy them and often leads to frustration. his lag is also noticeable, and his reaction time is slow compared to what i expect. any relaxing, non-intense games might suit him better?
Alternatively, you might enjoy GTA V or Watch Dogs. Usually you're just driving around the city, and the controls are straightforward to grasp.
these 3d games are too complex, he didn't pay attention after watching me play
by the way, he can't drive, not even the slow tanks
Portal and Portal 2 are available for $2 during the upcoming Steam sale (expected in a few weeks). I’d consider buying a controller if possible. An Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller will integrate smoothly and improve navigation and movement. The KM controls aren’t bad, but a controller might make it simpler to pick up.
I recall finding some CDs featuring Gold Games, but I've never seen him play before.
