Ideally, I’d like a game that would be good for logical thinking and appropriate for an 8 year old for a few years? Any ideas?
I would say Zelda, but that might be a bit on the difficult side
Pokemon requires you to understand type matching, so like water beats fire but fire beats grass type of thing, and there’s plenty of numbers to get familiar with.
When I was a kid and played pokemon, I had no clue about type matching. I just loaded up on xp on my first pokemon and called it a day.
Baba Is You :)
no, but for real. Puzzles are your best bet
Baba is you is really Great!
However, I don’t know, if the reading comprehension is good enough at that age for this.
Probably good for the earlier puzzles. Some of the later ones can get mind bending.
Snipperclips
BotW and TotK for sure too.
Into The Breach too.
I was about to say ToTK. Some of the shrines are really good physics puzzles incorporating simple machines like levers and pulleys which can be applicable outside of the game as well.
Toki Tori 2 is a metroidvania that doesn’t give you movement upgrades, but instead gates your ability to navigate with knowledge (here’s how you interact with this thing in the map to overcome this challenge). The graphics are cutesy, but it is a great game.
