Here's a list of game's I'd highly recommend from across all of space and time, filtered on female lead, and excluding ones where you can choose or design your own character), edit: filtered for most egregious age 5-inappropriate, random order:
Alien Isolation for a 5 year old. What could possibly go wrong.
Maybe just stick to the tutorial area.
Transistor is just a great game.
Once Hades 2 comes out, that is also an option
Or Silksong...
Sorry, I was deliberately mentioning things releasing before 2326. 😂
Spiritfarer is utterly excellent but also extremely sad (the entire game is a hospice care allegory), so if you go into that one keep in mind that at least one of you will probably be crying your eyes out at some point.
Or, like me, throughout.
Ah crap, now I'm thinking of Alice the hedgehog and crying again.
And the mushroom! He just popped out and is tiny and full of energy and curious and now he's SCARED I never want to play this game ever again
It's a really beautiful experience
that godamn hedgehog...
From what I remember, Ittle Dew would be great to play with a 5 year old. Some good recommendations there!
Thank you
Suggesting Metal: Hellsinger to a 5 year old, spicy x)
Heyyy, I censored it after OP gave the age. :D
But if your 5yo can handle that game, they are destined for great things 🤘😐🤘
