Reply to comment by Positive_Chemical_91 in My 8yo saw me playing Diablo 4 and wanted to get in on the action. Today we started to co-op Minecraft Dungeons and he’s lovin it. by totallylegitnesss

His reading is a bit weak yet, and English isn’t his first language, so if that’s required I guess it might be a bit early.
The hunt continues..

If you guys haven’t yet, plants vs zombies battle for neighborville was an awesome age appropriate shooter couch co op game. We really enjoyed it

It's a shame EA pulled the plug on it just a year after launch. It's a very fun game.

That makes me wonder what on earth PopCap are doing right now. They can't just be doing mobile games.

It's not required, mine just picks what he thinks looks cool or that he knows works well. It's an awesome diablo-lite and the kid would love it with you as a partner

You can use it as a great opportunity to help with his English reading skills! Just read everything on the screen out loud while occasionally testing him to see how much of a line he was able to read

Good idea, but he’s really not there yet. Gotta learn how to actually read first, adding another language into the mix is a bit early and will likely be confusing.

Mario games would be good, a lot of them don't require heavy reading and provide a lot of visual instruction. Also, because the character is so popular there's a ton of genres to branch out to while still keeping the same familiar characters. Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party etc. There's even Mario Baseball/Tennis/Soccer and more if you wanna get them into sports

He used to play a lot of mario kart, and some other mario games as well.
But I’m trying to turn him into a PC gamer ;)

There's an accessibility option to read everything on screen.

Still in English, so wouldn’t help much. I guess I can translate for him.

What is his native language? Dungeons has quite a few supported languages.

Norwegian. Switched Minecraft to it already, but he’s mainly just recognizing the icons.
