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.

    Nintendo is hard to beat in the field of family friendly games. Captain Toad is probably the most child friendly game of them all. Mario Odyssey should probably be fun as well. Could really motivate him to learn counting as he looks for the collectibles.

    Minecraft obviously. Very conceptually easy. Little to no reading needed to grasp basics. Very deep and rewarding for adults as well (redstone logic, exploring, creative building)

    Rocket League maybe once he’s able to grasp driving more.

    You can turn on assistance on MK8D. You can turn on auto accelerate and assisted steering. It is in the pause menu.

    Kirby is a really good series for kids. The Switch had the retros as well that might be easier (2d instead of 3d).

    Edit. Mario Odyssey has a assistance mode as well.

    Edit 2: just thought of another with an easy mode, Yoshi on the Switch.
