Could you recommend me a game? (self.gaming)

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!

Cities Skylines is often the perfect game for me to just zone out and chill, it surely didn't run on a smooth 60 fps for me on my i7 laptop with no gpu but it performed well enough for me.

I just like to spend a couple of hours laying new railroads and streets and just expanding my city, be aware though the game can be a timesink if you're not careful.

Luckily for the OP Cities Skylines is heavily CPU based, although it can only work with one CPU core unfortunately, but the sequel is coming soon which will address this problem.

Exactly, which is why I was able to run it reasonably smooth, although it was sluggish at a times probably due to the fact you just mentioned.
