Top 5 action games for kids in 2018

#1: Best Overall: Cuphead

Cuphead is a classic platforming 2D run-and-gun action game online free stylized like an old cartoon from the 1930s. It’s the best overall PC game for kids due to its engaging fun factor, immersive gameplay, and beautiful hand-drawn and inked animations, watercolor backgrounds and original composed jazz soundtrack.

Difficult, but awesome, Cuphead is an innovative and visually striking game that allows you to upgrade your character with super moves and attacks as you progress through each level. It comes with a simple tutorial, in the beginning, allowing kids to master the various moves and weapons in order to tactfully defeat the game’s various bosses. It’s multiplayer, too, so you and your kids can play together and overcome the game’s challenging (but rewarding) levels.

Best Overall: Cuphead

#2: Best for Creativity: Minecraft

For a child, Legos are the ultimate toys – you could build anything. Minecraft is the same way without the expense: a therapeutic kid-friendly game where one can build anything including replicas of entire towns and cities. Minecraft is the perfect game for introducing computer literacy and unleashing the imagination of your kid.

Minecraft is the second best-selling video game of all time, winning numerous awards and accolades for its creative play-style. The blocky-cartoon style gameplay allows for your kid to choose between two modes: survival (where players have to gather natural resources and protect themselves from monsters and environmental hazards – nothing bloody) and sandbox (where the player can use infinite resources to build anything.)

Though it may take a couple of tries for your child to figure things out, it’s not too complex to be unplayable. There are a number of tutorials and walkthroughs that the game includes to assure your kid understands the best ways to play. Minecraft can be a little repetitive, but you’ll never run out of things to build.

#3: Thinkrolls: Kings & Queens

All of the entries in the Thinkrolls series are great; but this latest slice of gentle gaming fun brings a regal air to its dozens of logic and gravity puzzles (in the sense the roly-poly protagonists wear crowns, unless you decide to – for some reason – play as a chicken).

Thinkrolls: Kings & Queens

The goal is to clear a pathway so the rotund hero can continue progressing through a massive maze. The snag is this involves figuring out how to work with all kinds of contraptions, like gears, bridges, hatches, and even a harp that makes an otherwise ravenous crocodile sleepy.

Just the thing to get tiny minds working overtime, while sneakily getting them interested in videogames.

#4: Toca Nature

Imagine Populous merged with a children’s nature book and that’s Toca Nature. Your tiny person can build hills and dig channels for rivers and lakes, all without getting their hands dirty. Trees are then planted with taps, whereupon rabbits, bears, fish and beavers start mooching about their respective habitats.

Your youngling can then observe their creation from above, like a miniature god, or use the magnifying glass to get up close and personal, lobbing acorns and fruit at their adoring furry and fishy subjects.

#5: Endless Alphabet

If you’ve tiny humans toddling about, chances are you’ll own some wooden puzzles where letters are slotted into a board. If you’re very fortunate, you’ll still actually have a few of the letters, rather than a sad infant pointing forlornly at gaps.

Endless Alphabet should take their minds off of such losses, with dozens of words to sort by dragging letters about, and a bunch of amusing animations when each word is completed. There’s the odd Americanism lurking, but if you can hold yourself back from hurling your device from a moving car on seeing ‘odour’ lacking a ‘u’, you’ll be fine.
