My 6 year old has just completed Lego city undercover on a Nintendo switch. I will switch to a steam deck for my own gameplay but to sweeten the deal and let me sell the switch, please could you recommend games that would be good for a 6/7 year old?

Looking for games he can play by himself without much help and also games we could play together.

Thanks in advance!

wobbly life! i fuckiing love wobbly life it is like GTA but more physics based and family friendly. It has that perfect co-op recipe of providing focus tasks and challenges you can accomplish together but also giving ample room and opportunity for spontaneous and chaotic fun

lego games are great too!

For more chill gameplay I REALLY like Farm Together, I haven't tried the second one yet.

I can recommend a lot of local-splitscreen games too.

Motortown for driving trucks but it has no splitscreen

Stunt Rally 3 has splitscreen and actually the driving feels really good in my opinion, it is free and open source!

I would love some split screen recommendations for myself and my almost gamer girlfriend. She loved all the lego games weve played, it takes two, sackboy, unravel, bg3, divinity, castles crashers, children of morta, idk lots of others but please feed me all your recommendations because theres never enough split screen.

Voidigo

Folk Hero

Devader

Also Chronicon maybe?

Definitely Totally Reliable Delivery service.

Plateup

Caveblazers - you probably already own it, it is massively underrated.

Casette Beasts!!

No such thing as too big of a list, thank you. Also you'll recommend what guy? Your comment cuts off maybe?

Edit nvm that was weird, maybe it didnt load all the way or maybe you edited but i see it all now. Thanks again!
