Looking for suggestions on games to play 2 player with my son. We've smashed through some LEGO games so stuff like that? Or any other good ideas.

Sonic all Star Racing Transformed. Most of the blue hedgehog's stuff is inferior versions of Mario but this is a true Mario Kart beater. Can play split screen.

Fifa ? The older versions tend to be pretty cheap.

My kids loved Goat Simulator which you can play two player. Wait for a sale though - there's not a huge amount of content and it's an acquired taste.

I also strongly recommend Castle Crashers with one major caveat about the content - check out my review.

Portal 2 is pretty tough as a two player game.

Stardew Valley multiplayer - but be careful - some of the material is surprisingly dark and (spoiler alert) two of the town's inhabitants are having an affair.

Most Total War games have player vs player options and I know at least Total Warhammer 2 you can play full campaigns together - you need pretty powerful rigs for this.

Terraria. People protest this isn't a 2D Minecraft. But ... Definite multiplayer capacity but joining up together can be tough.

He's probably not old enough yet and there's some serious violence and less extreme bad language but Borderlands games as a co-op are good.

Childhood you only have once, support the imagination, do not lead it to something like this.

I think the age label reflects that.

The child is 9, not 5. By that age I was fully into Marvel comics and Dr Who.

Lead it into what ? Battles between fantasy armies ? He might start reading books by JRR Tolkien and then where would we be ? Next thing he'll be watching the films too.

If the OP has played Lego games with his son there's a fair chance he's already played LOTR themed games.

I've played TW Warhammer 2. Other than the inherent violence of a "war" game there's nothing specifically child unfriendly that I remember.

Childhood is a preparation for adulthood. The OP will have to prepare his son for far more real and disturbing dangers than battles between fantasy armies.

For many boys Tolkien and high fantasy will be a significant element of their childhood experience.

Thanks! Some solid ideas here.

How did I miss the Secret of Mana remake!? Still got my original SNES cart. Awesome game.

Oh and this one is amazing too

It has a split screen option and it's very similar to Super Mario in 3D

Age of Empires
Anno series
Settlers
Command & Conquer

These games all help teach logistics and can also be used to teach ethics.

Age of Empires in particular offers a chance to teach geography and history too [Even if YOU are weak on these :D]

I'm pretty sure none of the Total War games are appropriate for a 9 year old.
Now, maybe 13, sure.

I played Doom after it came out, got the shareware, way back in 1992, maybe it was 1993.
I was 10 when I started.

Doom is less violent than a Total War game.
So, do not recommend a Total War game to someone as a game to play with a 9 year old kid.

This isn't Sparta you know. :P

I'd disagree that Doom is less violent than a Total War game. If it were a film the graphic violence and demonic imagery would give it a much higher certification than Total War's historical battles.

Notably Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus" currently rates a PG rating in the UK even with the graphic scenes of crucifixion at the end. It was a Saturday and Sunday afternoon staple on terrestrial television.

The world may not be Sparta but it isn't Oz either. It's for the OP to decide what level of maturity his child has and what level of material to expose them to (with limits - letting a young child watching a graphic rated 18 horror film has been held to be child cruelty).

Do you consider that you were harmed by playing Doom at 10 ? Notably that wasn't on my list of recommendations.

S.x.
