XCOM
Civilization
Flight Simulator (plus a ton of all the other sim games on the market).
Man I've seen my fair share of old people rocking it to Best Saber and and Synth Riders. Just play on the right difficulty..
My grandpa played Flight Simulator every day until he passed away at 100. He loved that game.
(40m) It's funny, I haven't touched any of the versions since 5.0.
It looks so complicated nowadays.
I played version 10 (FSX) back in the days and it had an excellent progressive tutorial. You can also set the realism level and you can select simpler propeller airplanes.
