It's got a nice gimmick going on where you have to change the current "season" in each stage to solve puzzles. I also tried Seasons After Fall, it has purdy graphics and is one of those decent starter platformers. You will probably need a controller for those. Now, I haven't tried every one of them, but the Pirates of the Carribean looked the best, not one spoken line, very little text, Hairy Twatter? Ninjago? Star Wars? Blyatman? Lego City Undercover is almost like a family-friendly GTA. There's plenty of them, so pick your poison. In a similar vein, the Lego games bore me out of my skull, but kids love them. Thee controls can be wonky (basically, you do everything on the numpad, can be done with one hand).
Holy crap, I just saw the asking price on this shit, just pirate it, mmkay?Īnd speaking of pirate, be sure to check this and have your spawn learn carribean geography: That get progressively harder (but not absurdly so) with no possibility to lose. The important bit is that it lets the kid practice all sorts of jump and double-jump puzzles It's not particularly well made and is obviously a low-budget cash-grab. While I hate Paw Patrol with every fiber of my being, I must concede that this one does a good job as a starter platformer. There's also a bit of fighting going on, so check if you're fine with this level of violence. You can do coop and there are physics-based puzzles. This is basically remade Lost Vikings with purdy 3D graphics. The recent remake is called Contraption Maker. You can also check if the vaccinations took hold and the kid developed the kind of autism necessary to learn programming with The Incredible Machine, World of Goo is another classic, language independent puzzle game to check out. Great, absurd humor, in the vein of Gobliiins, completely language independent.
There's a bit of English text, but you can get by doing a quick and dirty translation. We clocked +60 hrs on this and 100% it a few times.
Homm3 most definitely works, especially in hotseat coop. My 7yo pretty much knows it by heart at this point. Might try Machinarium or Botanicula next. She also likes messing around in (for me underwhelming) Untitled Goose Game, although the tasks themselves are usually too fiddly for her to complete.Ībstract games are a total miss. She enjoys the non-verbal Snakebird Primer, but Baba is You is incomprehensible for a non-English speaker. Puzzle games in general seem to be a good fit. However, we haven't tried Talos Principle yet as I believe the mine enemies will be too intense for her. The different levels of logic puzzles were enjoyable for her to solve and for me to assist. I'm not particularly interested in explicit kids' games - meaning the Paw Patrols and whatnot of the world - but sure, you can put a word in for those too if they're genuinely good to play.įor example, my 5yo daughter played through The Witness and was surprisingly good at solving the puzzles and liked traveling around the island after she got familiar with using a mouse & keyboard. Got any recommendations for (preferably PC) games that are suitable to be played with kids? Mine are fairly young, so let's put the age limit at 8 years or so.
