Hi there!
My son has started showing big interest in games. Hubby and I play on PC but we have consoles as well. I don't want our boy to touch PC yet (he is five) but I am fine with the consoles. What game should we give him? He has never played before! Would Mario be okay? Or perhaps Sonic? I am quite out of the loop with arcade titles so I would be grateful for your input.
Yes,
Mario or
Sonic games is the safest.
They are very kid friendly.
Mario Odyssey and Sonic Mania are my recomendation.
If you want more casual game,
Mario & Sonic at Olympic Game Series are very fun for kids too.
Just be sure to explain the controls for the kids since every sports has different controls.
Game based on Kid's TV series like Paw Patrol: On The Roll or Ben 10 are also safe too,
as long as our kids enjoy the shows.
They are not as good as Mario or Sonic games,
since their gameplay are a lot easier (meant for kids),
but for kids who love the TV series, they will feel right at home with the game.
My kid's first game is "Sonic The Hedgehog 2" btw,
when he's still 4 years old.
Now he could finish Sonic Mania or Sonic CD in a single sitting.
