I hope people aren't counting on playing games that require fast reaction speeds. If your jam is turn-based games you're in luck, you should be good to 100. But, if you're a competitive online gamer, you're in for a rude shock if you think you're going to retire and compete against the 20-somethings.
Nah, I'll just move to toplane and become a garen otp
Spin-to-win, innit.
Every competitive game has a ranking system. I do not see any issue playing and trying to improve, just reduce your expectations.
A lot of 20 year olds are trash in a lot of competitive games
It's not just reaction time that interferes wirh us old folks gaming, it's developers insistence on making game mechanics as uncomfortable as possible. I just don't have the stamina or flexibility to spend 15 minutes fighting some insanely difficult boss fight over multiple stages while constantly mashing buttons.
I think there should be an "Experienced gamer" difficulty level where the rest of the game is normal difficulty level, but the boss fights are less of an endurance challenge.
Or just set up a private server and play against the other people in the retirement home.
Most games aren't competitive though or even require twitch reflexes.
