Genres Video game : Sports, Skateboarding. The Sims 4. The Sims 4 was originally announced on May 6, , and was released in North Slime Rancher. Slime Rancher is a life simulation video game developed and published by American indie studio Monomi Park. The game was released as an early access title in January , with an official release on Minecraft is a sandbox independent video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by the Swedish company Mojang.
The creative and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. See our Minecraft Dungeons review. New Super Lucky's Tale is possibly the cutest game on this list. Who doesn't want to play a game as an adorable little fox? New Super Lucky's Tale greatly improves on the original hence the "new" title , offering players full control of the camera as well as spicing up the variety with some auto-runner levels.
Much like the aforementioned A Hat in Time, New Super Lucky's Tale nods back to early 3D platformers with its collectathon gameplay, cutesy characters, and relentlessly enthusiastic tone.
Though it may be a tad boring for older kids who are used to platformers with some challenge, it's extremely approachable for young kids just getting into games. Moon Studios' Ori series is an absolute delight, which is why we decided to include both games on this list. With gorgeous worlds and melancholy stories told through their atmospheres and characters, Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps couple stirring presentation with tough platforming to create well-rounded experiences.
This is another one of those recommendations for tweens and teens, but younger kids with significant platforming experience will likely be fine here, too. Ori and the Blind Forest is the easier of the two, as it mainly focuses on platforming. Will of the Wisps throws more action into the mix, giving Ori a slew of new mechanics that make it even more compelling than the impressive original. These are two of the very best side-scrollers on Xbox.
Any Plants vs. Zombies game is ideal for kids, but Battle for Neighborville is the best shooter on Xbox that's appropriate for kids of all ages.
Battle for Neighborville is a third-person shooter with a nice variety of content to play cooperatively or competitively either split-screen or online. Though Battle for Neighborville is a cartoonish game featuring sentient plants and silly zombies, it has a lot of depth thanks to richly diverse characters with unique abilities, a stable of game variants, and loads of customization features. It's a zany over-the-top experience that doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it a nice pick for kids who are looking to get into competitive multiplayer games.
Rayman doesn't get the same level of fanfare as some other video game mascots, but Ubisoft's limbless hero stars in some seriously good platformers, the best of which is undoubtedly Rayman Legends. Rayman Legends has it all: vibrant visuals, inventive levels, oodles of secrets, a mix of cool playable characters, and a wonderful soundtrack.
Rayman Legends' tight platforming mechanics are bolstered by a fun mix of puzzles, which makes for a robust adventure that never tires over the course of its plus levels. You can play through Rayman Legends with up to three other players, so this is another game that's good for the whole family. See our Rayman Legends review. Sonic Mania pays homage to the entries in the series from the Blue Blur's heyday, delivering a nostalgic adventure that feels both retro and modern.
Sonic Mania has 12 zones, eight of which are remixed versions of popular levels from Sonic history. With throwback visuals and quality-of-life improvements that make the fast-paced gameplay more smooth, Sonic Mania is arguably the most impressive entry in the entire franchise. We're recommending Sonic Mania Plus here, as it features two additional playable characters bringing the total to five as well as a new mode that switches up the levels to offer more replay value after you're done with the main adventure.
See our Sonic Mania Plus review. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an example of a remastered collection done right. Not only does it compile the best three games in the platforming series, but it gives them noteworthy makeovers that make them look and feel decidedly modern.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is easily one of the best collections to recommend for young kids thanks to its accessible controls, lighthearted demeanor, and fun combat that doesn't ask too much of the player. All three games are collectathons of sorts, which means each of the big levels are ripe for exploration.
Spyro also happens to be very cute, and the modernized animations make the world and the characters who inhabit it really shine. See our Spyro Reignited Trilogy review. If you don't have a Nintendo Switch in your house but your kid really wants to play Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley is a truly excellent choice that scratches the same life simulation itch.
In Stardew Valley, you move from the fast-paced city life to a cozy and idyllic rural town. The Xbox space for girl gamers is also starting to feel more inclusive, with strong female characters taking charge and leading narratives in many games. With my month Game Pass Ultimate, I've discovered that the library of favourites is enormous, and includes some of gaming's most empowered women — my top picks include Mass Effect and Control. Here's my shortlist of the top 10 games to play now on Xbox Series X, featuring inspiring female characters.
The Assassin's Creed franchise has been around since , but it was only in that players could choose between a male or female protagonist in Syndicate. This gameplay mechanic has remained, and will continue in the latest instalment, Valhalla. In Valhalla, players will take on the role of a Viking warrior called Eivor , who retains the same name regardless of gender. The story begins in AD England, as the Vikings try to conquer the country.
This interactive drama tells the story of two families across 30 years, and how the choices you make can result in dire repercussions. As Dusk Falls is one of a handful of games to feature a Black female protagonist.
If taking back control of a dystopian UK capital wasn't exciting enough, you can now do so alongside some pretty hardcore female Londoners. Led by hacker group leader Sabine, you'll join forces with an intriguing selection of women, from a rugby player "who completed a marathon with a broken ankle", to a babysitter "banned for life from London Zoo".
On the surface Forza Horizon 4 looks like a conventional racing simulator. This game can get quite involved, so it's more recommended for players nearing the age of ten. The game is set after the fall of civilization as we know it, so it is a much simpler time, however, players are able to uncover ancient technology. Zoo Tycoon originally released for the Xbox but was re-released for Xbox One and also recieved an updated version The Ultimate Animal Collection that includes even more animals and items.
Though older Zoo Tycoon games for the PC were a lot more in-depth, this version is far more accessible to younger players. They can build their own zoo, breed animals and complete challenges, as well as being able to play with up to four players in total. You can switch between an overview of your zoo, or step into the third person view of your keeper, where you can actually run and drive around your zoo and even feed and interact with your animals.
Calico is a beautiful, vibrant game that sees players take on the role of a cafe owner in a whimsical little town. This community sim game allows players to customize their character and shop, purchase new clothes and furniture, as well as adopt a variety of different animals that they can add to their cafe. The game also involves baking, with players being able to collect different recipes so they can offer even more tasty treats in their cute little cafes.
Disney games are generally always a great choice for kids and Disneyland Adventures goes one step further in not only delivering on awesome Disney content, but letting you run wild around a virtual Disneyland theme park. As well as getting to run around the park, buy clothing, meet your favorite characters and take pictures, you can also jump on lots of rides, which then begin various mini-games.
This game has plenty to offer, from dancing with the princesses to flying with Peter Pan, there's something for everyone. If you're a parent who grew up with all of the games Rare developed and delivered to fans, then you might want to pick up Yooka-Laylee for the young girl in your life who loves playing video games.
The main characters are an adorable chameleon and bat named Yooka and Laylee. It features classic 3D platforming and harkens back to the old Rare platforming titles of the past.
It may not be the masterpiece adults are looking to play, but it's a blast for kids of all ages. It's two main characters are both young girls, which is great for young gamers looking to see themselves represented. It features four large open areas to explore and is played in third-person.
