Game recommendation for 12 y/o kid


Recommended Posts

Well, the most obvious is Minecraft but it's hard to recommend something without knowing anything about them, boy girl? any hobbies or interests?

 

It's pointless anyone recommending Lego Avengers if they don't like Superhero stuff?

Any of the Lego games might be a good place to start. A whole lot of variety there. My cousins kids love those games and they range anywhere from 3 to 14 years old.

 

Depending on your what they are gaming on some of the Mario games and Wii party games could also be good too.

It is a boy, and he would like a game with action. He does play Minecraft already.

I assume illegaloperation was trolling/joking. I would 100%, not recommend GTA 5 for a 12 year old. Like another member mentioned, the Lego games are fantastic and a ton of fun. There is action and adventure within every Lego game; but it is not over the top violence and perfect for kids and even adults. Rocket League is another fun one, its not action in the usual sense, but is very addicting and fun to play. I always enjoyed the Roller Coaster Tycoon games as a kid, those were fun. Overwatch is a fun game, has more animated violence but you play online and unfortunately, there will be some rotten apples on there. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 was another fun one.

Another shout for any of the Lego games, especially the new Worlds one that's come out, it's like minecraft but with lego.

 

Forza is another good shout from the overlord up there.

 

Star Trek online's pretty good if they're a bit Sci-Fi. Free to play, too

 

Also, Mario and Zelda if they've got those platforms

 

Finally, Call of Duty? every other 12yo kid seems to play that ;)

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
