Hi all, I'm a new member here looking for a game to play with my 12 year old boy and possibly my 9 year old girl. I don't game much anymore but was once a huge fan of Everquest and I also love Skyrim. My boy loves skyrim as well. We are considering Elder Scrolls Elswer but I thought I'd ask some of you gaming experts as I'm way out of touch with current games. Are there any games we should look into?
I have two current high powered gaming PC's an old 10 year old gaming PC (still ticking) as well as an XBOX1. Any help greatly appreicated.
@elendill3334 how about something like
Portal Knights? There's been a couple of very solid recommendations so far, but I'm not so sure most of those are very suitable for a 9-year old.
Portal Knights is built with co-op in mind, is definitely aimed at a younger crowd and will scratch that RPG itch. If either you or your kids have an artistic side there's a bit of
Minecraft in there too. The art style is or isn't to your taste, but I think the game looks very attractive and your kids will love it for sure.
It's a well-rounded package available on all platforms and it even supports couch co-op, which is excellent fun if you want to get together in the living room and enjoy the game as a family. I played through this with my girlfriend and we enjoyed it very much!
If you are going the action RPG route I would go with
Torchlight 2. It has the friendliest art style and I'm pretty sure that if there's blood at all you can turn it off completely. It's a game in the vein of
Diablo, so I'm sure you know exactly what you are getting into with this one. It's good, mindless fun with a great campaign and a fun endgame that will keep you busy for a while. I think a console version is available as well.
Lastly, I quite like the look of
Dragon Quest Builders 2 (which also supports couch co-op) but I haven't played this one myself. It ticks a lot of the same boxes that
Portal Knights does, but this one places a bigger emphasis on building and improving the town that you are trying to protect from monsters, hence the 'builders' in the title.
I hope any of these recommendations will be of use to you.
