What is a good game for an older adult?

Hey I'm (trying to win an argument) to find a game that will suite my dad. He is an older adult almost in his 70's, a doctor, very stoic, and has no interests other than food and current tv-drama. Any suggestions? (Current thoughts are civ 5 possibly or minecraft)

GTA 5, hey'll be robbing stores and I mean he can relive his glory days
