Games

Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Horizon Zero Dawn would be my recommendations.

If you have a switch Pikmin 4 lets you make your own little character person. Its quite fun. There are quite a few Digimon games too. Other than that the ones that stick out in my mind aren't really age appropriate. There was a Drakenguarde that had a woman as the main character. I heard they're making a new Princess Peach game tho.

• Mass Effect
• Tomb Raider
• Arc Survival Evolved
• Syberia

I just finished playing Lost in Random. The graphics are a bit dark, but the story and action is good. No blood or gore or anything though.

It was surprisingly good and, if you've got a Xbox, it's on Game Pass for free.

Oxenfree!

Sable!!! Such a fun and pretty game, the soundtrack is also amazing (if ya know Japanese Breakfast she did it)

To be quite honest I did not read through all the comments to see if this has been suggested already, but Child of Light comes to mind!

They're not particularly old. There's a few games as recent as this year there. But then, can you really trust the quality of a list that includes 'Laura' (sic) Croft?

What platforms do you play, and how old is she? Because there's no point in us recommending particularly grisly PS exclusives like The Last of Us Part 2 if you're an Xbox player with a 6 year old.

I originally bought this game years ago to play co-op with my then girlfriend, but I think it can work for your purposes too - Never Alone
