Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she's unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it's not too violent, it should be fine

You'd recommened AC: Origins for a five year old?

I don't think the special scenes when you kill important targets would sit well with me. In one you smash someones face in repeatedly. You also play at least half the game as a male character.

Plus it's AC Odyssey where you can play as a woman. And yeah, I played her as a walking clap clinic. Not really a kids game.

walking clap clinic

I gotta steal this one, sounds like the perfect burn

[-] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure the OP could choose if and when to engage with that totally optional side of the game. And you're right, i meant Odyssee.

Going by a few of these recommendations I don't think many read the part where they said she's 5!

[-] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I did read that she was 5, I also read that she likes to watch the OP play.

[-] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oops, i meant Odyssee. But anyway probably you're right about all the murdering. I basically forgot about the assassination part of that game and just remember the dialogue, characters and exploration of the game world.

Seconding Sable.

I recommend that one too everyone though.

Haven’t played that particular Shantae game, but I found the series off putting to play in front of my kids due to the high amount of fan service. Seems like not what op might not be going for here.

I only played that one Shantae game. I get what you mean, but i don't recall anything i would consider too inappropriate for kids. More just tongue in cheek. But i expect the OP will look into each of the games listed and make their own call based on the trailers etc.

Technically I think the Celeste character is supposed to be trans, not female.

[-] solivine@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 year ago

That's the same thing, they're a woman

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That's a part of why Celeste, and Madeline as a character, now has a strong place to some trans gamers. She climbed the fucking mountain. She looked at her self doubt, her fear, the person in the mirror telling her she could never do it, never be that person, and did it. She overcame it.

Madeline is a woman, and writing her character off as "trans, not female" is writing off the impact that story has had for people climbing their own mountains.
