@nzzp fair enough, I’m sure it’s not for everyone, I really loved the stories, even the side quests, basically none of them are clear cut good or bad, all areas of grey, lesser of two evils kind of stuff
Either of you watch the Witcher Netflix series?

Yes, love the series. It almost lost me with the bard, then I started liking the fucking song. That is a hell of a magic trick in of itself.

I just imagined Jack Black singing it. Sold.

So after a long time out of the gaming world other than a bit of PS4, I got myself and my 8 year old boy a gaming PC each for Christmas.
Anyone got the recommendations for decent co op games we could play together? Preferably not too violent, though he can easily handle PG 13 type stuff - I don't think he's ever gotten scared of a movie he's watched.

@no-quarter portal 2 cooperative.
Collaborative problem solving excellence. Edit: on steam with I think an active community making new test chambers. Check it out if it's your thing
If you want FPS cooperative, not my bag!

No Man’s Sky? Exploration game, resource management, base building, missions.
Pretty chill, relaxing game that has some mine craft aspects.

Minecraft itself is a fun game and can be a challenge, make your own server and go wild. Survival mode can be as hard as you want to make it

They both look great, thanks @Kirwan and @nzzp, will give those a go
@Machpants yeah the boy has played loads of Minecraft on PS4, as well as the educational version on his school Laptop. Great game.

I got my son Far Cry 6 for Xmas. It looks absolutely sensational. He’s already got a tank and sent videos of himself shooting cars. Outstanding stuff.
That is ultra violent tho
I did actually bring this up with his mother when she got him Far Cry 5 last year. Despite taking joy in setting fire to bad guys with flamethrowers he’s a pretty sweetly natured boy and realises it’s not real.

@MN5 how old is your boy? Mine is the same, really gentle natured boy and has always been able to easily distinguish between games/movies and real life. TBH the whole "video games make boys violent" crap is been pretty well and truly debunked, it's really just if they can handle it and not be scared etc.

Yeah no sociopathic tendencies so far and we both laugh at bad guys getting killed in brutal ways.
His 11 year old brother is more into Mario Carts and innocent games like that.
