Games suggestion for women on Steam ? (description updated)

[Browser_ice]

Hi, I had bought a simple tablet for my wife who is over 50 and installed 3 games she likes playing but she is getting very annoyed by all the publicity and other things that comes with such games. So I thought I could simply get her some games on my PC through my Steam account but I am finding that looking for games she (or any women) would like is very tirering and long.

She is playing Candy Crush, Bejeweled, Roll the ball on her tablet.

What would other women suggest as games I could get her from Steam ?

She is computer illeterate so no point in games that would look too complicated for her. She likes simply games that demands very little action from her but would last a long time and have great replay value.

[Added comments]
Before posting, read what I said. She is over 50 years old and I did mention simple games, not demanding much actions. So action games are out of the question.
No Skyrim, no Dota, no Counter Strick, no Left 4 Dead, no Doom, .... those will turn her off for PC gaming for sure : SIMPLE GAMES !!!

Now answering a few questions:
- When I said she is over 50, she is 69 and I am 54. (both we both look younger then this)

- she plays Candy Crush and Bejeweled because a friend of her playing them suggested them; so she had not look for anything herself; besides she is computer <illetarate> so how do you expect her to look for anything. She hardly ever played computer games before. Oh she did play a while ago Angry Birds and she liked it but now this d.. game on Cell/tablets is polluted with adds and annoyances ....

- I did asked her but since she never played games before its hard for her to define what she likes; what she likes is based solely on those 3 games I mentioned (however she does have a preference for Roll The Ball puzzle kind of game).

- I gave her a tablet thinkign she would go on internet but not having that much money this tablet is somewhat slow (Samsung Galaxy Tab E Wi-Fi) and old. So my bad, I should have invested more. The more I think about it the more I think I should have bought a laptop. Games on cell/tablets (Google Play) suck because of all the d.. publicity and annoyances that go with it. Not having money for a laptop, that is why I thought maybe through Steam (I've been using it every since it started into existance 10-15 years ago).

Now so far the recommendations I have seen in your answers:

passpartout (***)

back to the future (***)
money island, the remakes (***)
popcap and the likes (**)

sure...when your hands start to hurt. when you have no other hobby. if you game into your 50's as a guy so be it. if a women games into her 50's its odd. its a matter of gender and other. its statistics more girls play phone games. if its a console or PC game whats the chances man. the small details of a person and other your leaving out.

This is the most idiotic thing I read on the forums all week.

If my man can game into his 50's, of course I will keep gaming with him. By your logic, my hands are going to hurt, so why bother doing anything at all? Phone games require hands as well, you know.

I wish it was the most idiotic thing I read on the forums all week. There was the other guy who kept bashing on women in gaming and male groups though.

Like yesterday, someone basically said "women are ruining gaming groups because reasons".

Some people, man.

....okay with out the hand thing what about the rest lad? if the rest is stupid why so. the facts don't have to follow anothers opinion. i said if your a guy so be it. i pointed out cons no full statement. what are you a girl or something. phones may require hands but pushing smashing and moving of such is way different. as well as the contents of the game


its not a matter if i like women. its a matter if its more likely, which it isn't

Girls are more likely to get carpel tunnel. And sitting all the time is associated with shorter lifespan and more health problems.

If you love someone, don't like them be a lifetime gamer

Just because it's less likely does not mean it cannot happen.

Times change.

>implying you can't enjoy gaming at 50

i never said it could'nt be fun. its just unlikely lad

then why does it matter? if they want to have fun then let them have fun

[Gina]

Other than me and a handful of women I've talked to on here, I have to admit I don't know very many women who play video games. Although both of my daughters do. My husband and I had them playing Everquest and Toontown and Putt Putt before they could even read.

I have to wonder if there would be more women players if there were less conversations like this and like the other guy from yesterday who was 'women aren't gamers, they just want attention.'

it matters since in OP'S mentionings he mentions how his wife isn't into it
so why force it?

mentionings he mentions...
lmfao

the likelihood of a woman in their 50s being a casual gamer isn't really relevant to this topic, which is asking what games the woman mentioned could enjoy

Because he isn't forcing it, he's recommending it.

Most of us stay off the forums, I only started posting here last year. And even then I pretended to be a boy just to avoid the people who seem to have an irrational fear of women who play games. Now? Now I just don't give a damn.

From what I read of the OP, she wants to play games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled. And I'm assuming she's playing on Facebook, and the Facebook games will drive you crazy. My aunt plays them and until I blocked her, she was spamming all of her friends with all this game stuff that I could care less about.

So that's what I think he's doing...trying to find her the type of games she likes without annoying her friends and family.
