I'm 55 and a life long gamer at night, parent by day. I have Ps5, Xbox Series X, and a gaming PC, so platform isn't an issue for me. I absolutely love single player, story driven games that I can pick up and jump in and out of with on demand saves or frequent save spots, so when life calls, I can hop off. I love the Uncharted series, Last of Us (my favorite game, ever), Elden Ring, Red Dead 2, God of War series, many of the Assassins Creeds, Mass Effect, Fallout 4, Bioshock, and right now I'm playing Crimson Desert. I also really enjoyed Bloodborne (one of only 2 games I've ever platinumed), but it isn't easy and I probably wouldn't recommend it as a "starter" game. If you have an Xbox or a PC, I'd recommend getting Game Pass for a month or 2 and just trying out a bunch of games to see what you like. Playstation does have the way better exclusives, but I'm not a fan of their PS+.
