Recommend me games for my dad plz
He is recently divorced, extremely lonely, extremely boomery, and has a gambling problem, so preferably something with online play and no micro transactions. Does that even exist?
Since Covid he’s gone from married and occasionally doing a poker night with friends to divorced with his own apartment. He sits alone all day chatting with virtual poker folks and he is in desperate need of something to replace his addiction, preferably in a way that’s less isolating than text chats with strangers online.
Basically, I’ve effectively cut him out of my life, but him asking me to set up a new game on his computer is the closest he’s come to wanting to change in about a year. Any recommendations? Is Minecraft still free of micro transactions?
Are you looking for something to play with your Dad or something for your Dad to play with other people?
Terraria is great if you want to play with your Dad. The basic controls are simple and you can help with the complex parts of the game.
3D games tend to be difficult for old non-gamers to learn. They have a lot of trouble moving the camera and moving themselves at the same time. This includes first-person 3D games like minecraft. If you watch old people play they wind up staring at the floor or sky a lot. 2D games are usually easier to start with.
