My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are relatively kid-friendly (or at least with my guidance and supervision) and easy for her to just wander about and be nosy.
Any suggestions? Simple adventure/fantasy would be great and provide us with something to progress through together, but anything that lets you explore a neighborhood and/or poke around in buildings and such would be perfect. I’m picking up Goat Simulator today for that exact purpose.
I appreciate it in advance.
There’s a few short indie adventure games that may fit the bill:
- The First Tree
- Spirit of the North
- Abzu
- Aer
- Proteus
- Untitled Goose Game (Not an adventure game, but good goofy fun)
- Donut County (Not adventure, but a very simple and accessible puzzle that spans an entire town)
I haven’t played Stray, but it may be a good fit. I also haven’t played past the opening scene of Firewatch, but if your daughter can manage walking around Skyrim then I think it should be okay.
I searched for indie exploration games. City of Muse came up.
There’s a list of 3D exploration games on Itch.
