Great PC games for young children

Wegason · 2 Jan 2020 at 18:45

Hi all,

My two young chiildren, 7 and 4, have both enjoyed playing Overcooked and I'm looking for recommendations for other games that would be good for them to play, co-operative games favoured!

Anyone got any solid recommendations?

Particularly looking for games that are easy to pick up for them with simple controls.

If you have a controller recommendation, see my thread here

The Lego and Trine games are excellent.

Any builder style game like Minecraft or Terraria could be fun for them.

There's actually a Steam group that recommends stuff for families/kids:

THank you so much for this

My kids like sonic, although the 3 year old is not that good. They also like the earth defence games as shooting big bugs is cool.

What controller does your 3 year old use?

Sorry to necromancer this but its still applicable, and given the Christmas break, thought there might be some new ones.

Over the last year we've played through a few good games, my strong recommendations:

Adventure Pals

Putty Pals

Portal Knights

Good for co-op with a young one

Got F1 Race Stars, racaing games are a bit hard for my son, he's really enjoying Portal Knights at the moment as we can all play as co-op, me, my 5 year old son and my 9 year old daughter.

You should definitley check out Rush A Disney Pixar Adventure. It is available on Gamepass for PC and Xbox. My 4 year old girl loves it. It is very easy gameplay and can be played coop. It's made by Asobo studios, the same folks that made Flight Simulator and Innocence - A Plague Tale.

Thanks, i'll check it out.
