MODERATORS
She watched me play the first one up until the jail scene where the village gets raided. We only heard the screaming, but that part fucked her up a little bit and I had to turn it off. I had no idea that was going to happen. We were just kicking chickens and starting fights.
Oldies but goodies:
(cdrom required)
- Frogger
- Lemmings
- Load Runner
New(er) stuff:
- Spore Galactic Adventure
- Cid meyer's Civilization series
- Age of Empires Age of Mythology (loved playing this with my sister growing up, definitely need multiple real people though)
If you have a modern PC with bells and whistles, I'd be willing to bet this game would be a hit for a kid

Worms W.M.D is also super fun but only in multiplayer
Bro.. Absolutely.
Oh I got this. Been gaming with my 7 year old since she was three. Spyro and Untitled Goose Game were hits with us too. Here's some others we've enjoyed:
- Chicory
- Wandersong
- Tchia
- Donut County
- Wobbledogs
- Doronko Wanko (free concept game)
- Minecraft (in peaceful mode)
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
- Abzu
- Slime Rancher
- Battle Block Theatre
- Castle Crashers
- Stardew Valley
- Beastieball
+1 to battleblock theater. It's a puzzle/platforming game with a cute aesthetic that I still go back to once every few years. Although now that I think about it, I am a little concerned about how a 5 year old would do with the more difficult bits in the later part of the game
I think it's fine, helps him to learn to deal with frustration, persevere and solve problems.
Like I said, I'm only a little concerned. They'll probably be fine anyway, I've found children surprise me pretty often with how capable they are
She might like Little Kitty, Big City. You're a cat, it's an open world, you explore, make friends, and wear hats.
I think the Lego games would work well due to their relatively simple 3D platforming gameplay and two-player, drop-in-drop-out multiplayer across most of the games. The Skywalker Saga is one of the most recent ones, though the older ones are often available for $5 each and are fun, if a bit repetitive. Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and Lego Harry Potter are the ones I grew up with, and are therefore among my favorites, but there's over a dozen of them in all.
For something a bit more original, Lego City Undercover also has the typical Lego multiplayer gameplay, along with an original plot with lots of humor tossed in.
+1 for pretty much any Tt Lego game. I've played almost all of them as they've been released since I was a kid.
+2 for Lego games for OP.
Doom Eternal
Fuck yea trial by fire.
My friend's daughter was very into goat simulator on my computer, it's a sandbox and you can't lose. We'd hear her cackling from the other room as she ran into traffic or tried to climb a roller coaster or something. I'd have to start the game and get her into the world, but from there she loved it.
Little Kitty, Big City is a cute and wholesome game where you play a cat exploring a city looking for a way to climb back to their home, while befriending other animals and sowing mischief. Not sure how accessible it would be for a 5 year old to play, but it looks like something she might enjoy.
UFO 50 let your kid experience the evolution of gaming
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
A hat in time
PC, tablet, phone, ages 1-99 (fuck the century bastards they're on their own) - kids seem to love this webGL fluid sim:
I'd highly recommend the old Humongous Entertainment games. They were high quality kids adventure games with fun worlds to explore, characters to talk to, a million different things to click on that give an amusing reaction, and simple puzzles to solve to advance the story. I'd say to start out with Putt-putt and Freddie Fish, then move onto Pajama Sam and eventually Spy Fox.
I had a blast with those growing up, and I think they still hold up well.
Let them distract Bale for you in Elden Ring. 😏
Wobbly Life? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211020/Wobbly_Life/
It's essentially a 3d platformer coop about doing random jobs because your granny doesn't like you laying about her house. There's all kinds of "jobs" to do, like racing, fishing, disposing nuclear waste...
