This answer is way too good for such a rough broad question with too many options. 👍
I’m always on the lookout for solid games I can play with my kid. For a long while the games had to be shared screen / split screen, at least until I got a Steam Deck. Now I’ve got a lot more options open to me like Risk of Rain 2, but that didn’t really fit their constraints so I left those type of games out.
There’s a bunch of games I left off due to low play time, so I didn’t think they were really worth it to suggest as first picks for someone on a tight budget. It’s definitely by no means a complete list.
As I said, good job! My only answer would've been: could you narrow that down a bit? 😁
If I had to narrow it to 10, it’d be this, keeping audience in mind.
Apologies, a little misunderstanding, I meant as a response to him!
Because the way this was asked there's too many options!
