Game recommendations for young girls.

StarShock · 29 Jul 2017 at 10:12

Hello, I'm currently in the process of building a PC for my nieces, 3 of them aged between 8 and 12. Its not going to be an amazing gaming machine as its largely cobbled together out of bits I got lying around, (Pentium g3250, RX460, 8gb ram)

Anyways I was thinking I'd put a few games on there, and am looking for recommendations for some cheap games they would enjoy.

thanks.

My daughter is 6 going on 7 next month so these may be a little low for them

Minecraft
Minecraft: Story Mode (telltale games)
Terraria
Lego worlds
Lego marvel Super Heroes
ABZU
There's poop in my soup (yes really)
Astroneer
Planet Coaster
Goat simulator
Scribblenauts unlimited
Sonic and all stars racing transformed
Catlateral damage
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Tiny Brains
Trine
Slime Rancher

There's a ton more but those are probably the most played, ABZU, Planet Coaster might be pushing it a bit but ABZU in particular is amazing.

Ori and the Blind Forest, might just be a little young but its a beautiful game for a little girl.

Girls like similar games to boys usually but I have noticed girls tend to love the sims.

Micro machines
Gangs beasts

Roblox & Minecraft are the two main ones with my 3 girls.

I watch her like a hawk when she's on Roblox. Lots of wierdos on it.

I'd introduce them to the delights of Lucas Arts stuff from back in the day #GraphicAdventureGamesForTheWin

Slime Rancher releases properly today I think.

Or Terraria, thousands of hours of entertainment in that game.

My niece is a huge fan of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light & Temple of Osiris, the Trine series and Magicka.
