Looking for Casual and light Games

[Tom]

Looking for some games for Mila to play. She's more into casual, and action style, where she doesn't have to read much (she doesn't pay attention to text in just about anything lol), or learn too much at once.

Want to find some stuff she can play at frag so she's not too bored

[Mr. Analog]

ABZU (relaxing exploration, from the same guys who did Journey on the PS3)
Ori and the Blind Forest
Overwatch
Audiosurf
FEZ
Minecraft
Castle Crashers
Dark Souls III (hard, yet fun)
Goat Simulator
Enter the Gungeon (roguelike top down)
Street Fighter

If she's looking for something more platform-y:
Starbound
Apotheon
Rayman Legends
Shantae and the Pirates Curse
Broforce
Portal / Portal 2
Megaman Legacy Collection

If she likes run-n-gun Black Mesa is a really good redux of Half-Life, there's also Doom which is good

I don't know what she likes so I'm just throwing out ideas

[Lazybones]

Cities: Skylines
Broken Age
Portal 1 and 2
LIMBO
Osmos
World of Goo
Braid
FEZ

Goat Simulator

DaFuq

And then I remembered: I've seen this game played.

Yeah, she doesn't seem to like Minecraft at all, but she hasn't tried it. Maybe I'll get her to try.

She also doesn't have much in the way of hardware to play on. So we'll see what'll work on her laptop   I do have an older machine i could possibly bring, but the best gpu i have for it is an old 640GT or smth. Not the speediest card ever.

If you're trying to get her interested in Minecraft, set up an older version, like 1.6, the controls are easier.  And then get some friends to join on the server, so she's not alone on it.  And then build a little town together.

[Tom]

Only problem is I don't have a spare key. Wonder if we can borrow someone's?

God yes, they BROKE combat in the latest version

Oh wow dual wielding ... but now you have to time your sword slashes in an already extremely glitchy system y-y-yaaaaay

[Tom]

We just tried out some Starbound and she seems to be interested, somewhat. Might see if she can handle spelunky

Spare key?  You mean a Minecraft login?  I've got one she can borrow, my daughter doesn't play anymore.

Yeah, now if you click-spam your attacks, it takes, like, twenty hits to kill one zombie with an enchanted diamond sword.

Yeah, Cool! Spending the 30$ or whatever it is for a new account that she might never use after the first 5 minutes would suck.

Get a shield and stop spamming

[Tom]

I showed a few games to mila, and so far shes interested in Starbound, and really interested in LIMBO.

She seems to like action, with platforming.

Bought limbo on her new account to make it so we can properly friend eachother and use the family sharing junk.

LIMBO is a good game but sadly a really short one.

So now I have to hold right-click whenever I'm not left-clicking?  And I have to time my attacks perfectly?  In a game that frequently frequently glitches and rubber-bands?

Seems some have completed it in under 55 minutes, others took 3+ hours. Still a wonderfully unique game, and the Industry needs way more of that type of genre-busting/reinventing

I checked a few gameplay vids of Starbound, I can see why that is a winner too.
