My kid is coming up on age 3 and I’ve been able to play Mariokart with him. He always loses obviously as he can barely understand the concept of ‘forward’!
I was wondering if there’s any recomendations on games that your littles were able to enjoy and actually get some positive feedback with? Maybe where you just explore and collect things and can build things up… Something accessible for a kid who can’t read but also makes for a chill downtime, bonding experience for the parent.
Check out Spiritfarer. Very relaxing game where you sail around on a boat guiding spirits on their path to afterlife. Sounds grim but it is very colourful and everything is only implied.
You upgrade your boat by visiting islands and collecting resources. The cool thing about it is that the player 2 controls a cat that can jump around and helps with stuff. There is fishing, farming, cooking and crafting.
The characters and world is very childlike and there are many sparkly things to collect for your kid once he gets used to the controls.
