Hi Guys!

My daughter is 8yo. We are looking for fun 3D game that we could play using xbox pads on PC.

Just a casual game for fun. Either coop or pvp. What would you recommend?

Thanks!

Listing off all the Lego games on GOG (and failing that, Steam) is too easy, and she'll probably like some movie tie-ins more than others.

Giana Sisters looks to be a Mario riff, but with girls.

Overcooked is great, will have you in hysterics

2nd the Lego games (unfortunately some of the best never came to GoG)

Pile Up: Box by Box is good too

Trying to pvp an 8 year old, smh. (jk) :p

Only thing I can think of is Trine. 1,2, and 4 aren't 3d technically, but they sure are beautiful 2.5d.
Trine 3 is 3d but it's easily the worst of the bunch.

I think about the Blueberry Forest now and then, one of my favorites.

Octodad.

If you are open about isometric 2d that aren't totally 2D, but have depth, Nine Parchments
if you're OK with singleplayer Shadwen, but it's rather dark.

BIPED is good suggestion, but I haven't played it enough.
Some of neverwinter nights (but it's maybe too dated for someone new)

SpomgeBOB Squarepants should be kids friendly

Minecraft, you can play togheter and either survive or just build towns and structures. Not to forget that in survival you do things like farming or tame animals

Katamari Damacy. Though it was more designed for PSX in mind. (Sticks near, rather than far.)

We did play so far, Dorf Romantik, Becastled, Banished, Pharaoh, Emperor, Tomb Raider, Settlers, Rayman, Kao The Kangaroo, Tower Hunter, Timelie, Pikuniku, Time Loader, Texas Hold`em, Botanicula, Bridge Constructor, Hercules, Jungle Book, Never Alone, Inkulinati, Train Valley 1&2, Abe`s Oddysee, Psychonauts, Shelter, Spore, Flower, Caravan, Timeschock, ...
edit: Tsioque every evening for last week

Not multiplayer, but try American McGee's Grimm. They're not that difficult, but the whole fairy tales being restored to their grim originals would probably appeal to most kids.

Try this one:

Hello Martinelly!

I know the game is neither co-op nor pvp, but "Lumo" is a very pleasant, funny and good-looking 3D platform game with a (nowadays) rather unique perspective. It plays well both with keyboard and with controller and provides three alternative setups for the mapping of the directional movement controls.

You could play it together with your daughter in "turns" in the game's "adventure mode". This way you have unlimited lives and unlimited time to finish the game, focussing on exploring and experimenting in each room, and you could agree with her to switch turns of play either on each or every second or third death and respawn (at the entrance of the corresponding room).

The game is in general quite harmless, fitting for all ages. Although it features a lot of references to past games of a similar style (especially, "Knight Lore", "Alien 8", "Head over Heels", "Solstice (NES)", etc. from the 80's and 90's) and to some movies, no knowledge of those is necessary to enjoy the game "Lumo".

One remark though: the game features some fully 3D animated spiders that can trigger a person's arrachnophobia.

By the way, the game is not to expensive and goes quite frequently on sale, if you are able to wait a little.
Instead of the available reviews here on GOG.com, I recommend to take a look at some youtube gameplay videos to decide whether the game would suit your needs and interest--there was even a nice playthrough and commentary done by the developer himself.

Kind regards,
foxgog

so you should play with something meaningful, not those typical child games
try out some rpg-s and split the team up, and dont play too much maybe a few hours/week to not make your child an addict loser

I remember playing Trine 1 with my brother, using 2 keyboards on the same computer. It's the only game that allowed this setup.

Having said that, while Trine 1 is amazing, and almost all the levels are easily completable in co-op, I caution about the very last level, which is nearly impossible in co-op. Playing it in singleplayer while difficult, I was able to complete it after several tries.

EDIT : nvm, please delete
