Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she's unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it's not too violent, it should be fine

Ōkami.

Well, she's a wolf, but she's the Sun Goddess too.

Celeste. It's tough as nails, but it's so rewarding and the story is.....gah!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think Tchia may be just what you're looking for!

Oh! For a solid coop experience check out any of the little big planets. Lots of cute costumes for character customization.

For a gender neutral character I can recommend Toem! It’s incredibly cute and charming.

Sayonara Wildhearts. I bet she could play it herself

We love Knights on Bikes for our girls to play.

There's that Disney dream light game or something like that, definitely seems child friendly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Very child friendly and lots of fun, at least last I played, and I can’t imagine Disney of all people really changing that to much.

Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ms. Pac-Man, but of course!

There's always Animal Crossing and its many sequels... you're not obligated to play as a female, but it's at least an option. Metroid has a female lead, but those games are probably a little beyond your daughter's grasp at the moment.

One I haven't seen mentioned yet, Dreamscaper. Its an action roguelite about a girl who battles her inner "demons" at night and lives her life in a new town during the day.

Hey!

It's not coop, but I recently played "The Big Con" (with Gamepass) and it's more of a fun ride with an easy control scheme and decent puzzles. While the FeMC isn't the classic "strong female lead", she is a teenager growing up and develops throughout the game and it's story.

I found it very funny (your daughter might not get every joke, tough), depicts some good topics (trust, family and responsibility) in a very lighthearted way with a cute art style. :)

Interesting. I have Game Pass but for some reason, this one passed me by. Will check it out. Some throwback humour would probably be fun for me

Beyond good and evil

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Contrast on Xbox market was awesome. Really fun platformer that has an amazing soundtrack too

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

It's very wholesome and relaxing. She can probably play this herself.

Gianna sisters: twisted dreams

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Roughly what age are we talking? The list you linked is accurate and pretty much all the mainstream ones. Also,

  • Telltales The Walking Dead

  • Minecraft Story Mode

Main character:

Lost in random Beyond good and evil Night in the woods Infamous first light A hat in time Spiritfarer Celeste

Good overall:

Final Fantasy X Bioshock Infinite ( saw your age update lol) Ratchet and Clank rift apart

That’s what I can think of from the top of my head. I’ll see if I can come up with some more.

From the link you posted I highly recommend “Kena: Bridge of Spirits”. Gorgeous game with a solid story and fun gameplay. Great job for a small studios first game.

Ignore the age inappropriate ones obviously
