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 ;)

    • Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
