▲ 330 ▼ Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?

It’s a platformer with a nice story about anxiety and overcoming one’s fears. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 28 points 3 years ago (1 child) IDK man I'm a grown adult and I died 2,000 times before completing the game. I know I'm not the best player ever but giving it to a 5yo may lead to problems permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 12 points 3 years ago It has a variety of assist-mode options. My 8-year-old plays it and enjoys it, and actually can play with no assist most kf the time now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] reddithalation@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 years ago (1 child) very very good game, it does get pretty challenging at some points though, idk if a 5 yr old would like it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yeah I'm in my 20s and I found even the first few levels too hard. Granted, I'm a total noob when it comes to platformers, but I think the game would be immediately frustrating for a 5 year old permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] reddithalation@sopuli.xyz 1 point 3 years ago I gave up on it relatively quick, and only recently finished it after 1500 deaths lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] SuiHoThen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago And to add, the game can be extremely difficult but it can be customized to play very easily, even for a 5 year old. The colors are bright, there's some slightly scary parts but I'm sure you could play those with her! Very wholesome message and no killing involved, just some strawberry farming! permalink fedilink source parent [–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago Seconding because my 8-year-old plays and loves it, due tobthe fact that it has assist-mode options. He now plays without assist mode at all, and is pretty freaking good at it. permalink fedilink source parent
