Posted April 6, 2019 celeste (fineprint: story deals with depression and anxiety but as 12 yo he won't care about it he'll probably just skip through the texts anyway so should be safe to play) ori and the blind forest : cave story+ Trine 1, 2 ... Jamestown - scroller with plane and shooting continuously Sine mora - similar but sideways instead of from the above 8bitboy torchlight 1 and 2 - simple hack and slash diablo like etc but cartoony so kinda safe for 12y olds if they aren't bored quickly Puzzle quest - connect 3 of a kind style of game with some simple story If you can be patient to play with him, Heroes of Might and Magic series could be great. Find some racing games like Need for Speed if he's into that Maybe Spelunky if he's into Minecraft ... and there was another game, Terraria Maybe Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 if the parents don't object to shooters At least they have some story and he has to make choices and skills and shit it's not just braindead shooters.

It's massive and can give a HUGE amount of hours of gameplay Community Standards || Tech News Posting Guidelines ---======================================================================--- CPU: R5 3600 || GPU: RTX 3070|| Memory: 32GB @ 3200 || Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken || PSU: 650W EVGA GM || Case: NR200P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 6, 2019 Also if he likes such games, maybe see Transport Tycoon - OpenTTD is free : https://www.openttd.org/ Or other tycoon type of games ... rollercoaster tycoon etc Maybe if he likes real time strategy see something like age of empires... i used to play Dune 2000 and COmmand and Conquer Red Alert and Warcraft (not the MMO game) when I was at that age... but such games are difficult to run on modern hardware. If he's the kind that may like point and click / puzzle / adventure games... Syberia - https://store.steampowered.com/app/46500/Syberia/ - is a wonderful game, same for the 2nd in the series... 3 is kinda meh. Not quite sure he's gonna joy the story at 12 years old though, or be patient enough to solve puzzles. Also loved the original The Longest Journey : https://store.steampowered.com/app/6310/The_Longest_Journey/ but he may get stuck at some puzzles (a few are really weird and not so intuitive but searching walkthroughs/guides gives you answers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RN he plays Rocket League, Fortnite, CSGO (our mom doesnt know its M) and Portal. Seems any competitive game would suffice. I would introduce him to the free game market. Paladins, Dota 2, League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Warframe, Brawlhalla, Smite, Path of Exile, etc, etc. All of those are completely free and there's hundreds more on the market. If he likes Portal a lot, then Minecraft should be a must buy for him. And it's only $1.00 - $2.00 online. And any Half-Life game would be something he'd most likely be into as well. Best to wait for the sale price on it though and any game you think he might want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 7, 2019 RaceDriver Grid2 is a fun game(also cheap) that runs well on Lowend hardware but looks brilliant (maxed out) on midrange hardware and beyond. Kid friendly. Some old easier to run games are also quite fun and engaging. Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 7, 2019 Subnautica is good. Underwater survival game with building mechanics. No swearing (or dialog for the most part). Mild violence involving large undersea critters trying to eat you. Don't watch the review with your mother or brother in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
