Steam sale

Any tips on surviving the steam sale, I've told my wife to keep an eye on the bank balance as i don't trust myself.

Here's some my daughter who's four plays, if you have a 360 controller or he's happy to use a keyboard mouse he'll be fine, if he struggles with a mouse I'd suggest getting one of the mini-mice you can get for a couple of quid as it's better for small hands and putting stickers on keys helps them figure out what keys do something in minecraft etc on the PC, you'd be surprised how quickly they pick it up. I used custom backlight config on my mechanical keyboard so my daughter knows what keys to press to play. She's pretty good at moving around and has made herself a house and a pony stables etc.

Keyboard mouse games:

Minecraft (not on steam..)
Terraria - little fiddly tbh.
Starbound - arguably a more young kid friendly Terraria, less cluttered interface etc but still probably one for him to watch you play.


360 controller:

Goat simulator - can also play in two player split screen.
Lego Marvel - Awesome fun and split screen, probably has the most longevity of any of the lego games, tons of superheroes to choose from and they can just wander around and drive cars.
Lego hobbit - second best lego game I've tried, can be a little scary.
Lego lord of the rings - tbh bit iffy as the puzzles are just too frequent.
Tiny Brains - puzzle game.
Big Bang racing - only £2 today :)
Zero Gear - Basically a rip off of Mario cart.
Ikaruga - old style top down shoot em up manga style thing, just look at a video of it. it's pretty insane tbh but completely different from other games she plays.


any controller:
Octodad - Honestly they'll end themselves laughing at this. Never thought my daughter would persevere with it but she loves it. Does require a bit of explaining to them as my daughter didn't realise at first that octodad's wife didn't realise he was an octopus..


If you asked for 3 and had a controller I'd go for these:

Lego Marvel super heroes (Split screen is incredibly good fun)
Minecraft (learning mouse/keyboard + helps imagination)
Octodad (hilarious)

Those three will keep him laughing for ages and will help him learn how to use a mouse as well as a 360 controller. It's great fun playing Lego Marvel tbh and I'm not a Marvel fan at all - it's just genuinely a fantastic game! :D

Think once you complete level 10 you get a card, but it depends on your teams ability to kill the trash mobs together after boss is dead.

Probably get a new card after every 10th level boss fight, but still stuck on level 20.
 
On lv20 and the re-spawning mobs have proved too much I think. probably hardly anyone is using an auto clicker and there's no way to communicate...

Is there even any point going past lv20?

No Problem, just scrolling down my steam list.

Kerbal Space Program - try the demo first, my son loves sending rockets to space and landing on the Mun, difficult learning curve but it's entertaining watching the ships crash into the ground while you learn.

Luftrausers - short but fun 2d arcade plane shooter, wasted many hours on this
Little inferno - I don't enjoy this but according to my son "burning things is fun" :/
Legend of Dungeon - stupid little dungeon crawler, hours spent on this
