Games like Cities: Skylines are perfect for middle-aged and older dads. It fits right into things like fixing up and old car or building some wooden stuff.
But also any games for any people. I’m a 43yo dad who just got my kids interested in hotseat Mass Effect (they don’t enjoy doing the combat so much).
This sounds like a great way to spend time with your progeny, my sister and I used to do that with Actraiser. She’d do all the city building and answering prayers, and I did all the combat acts.
The family that plays together stays together.
My dad was a city contractor before he retired and several bridges and roads locally built by his company. When he retired he got really listless and started drinking way too much. So I updated his PC to something reasonable and got him a ton of city builders from Simcity2000 all the way to Cities and Skylines II. Completely turned his time around. I mean he still drinks, but a lot less and he and I always have something to talk about.
So definitely. He was also part of the Navy for 20+ years… People like this and walz actually give me a whole new respect for the people in the military honestly. In the past I actually pictured it as incredibly toxic due to someone I met from the Army.
But, at least in the case of the Navy, everyone I’ve met or heard about are so incredibly honorable and respectful… They’re literally normal people
I overheard a probably-55 yo guy saying something about playing Assassin’s Creed this morning. Games are for everybody.
My dad is 72 and builds amazing stuff in Cities and Skylines

I was watching youtube yesterday, and some elderly 72 year old gamer actually came up… https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandpaGaming
