The Family Gaming Database grew out of the book. They are grouped in categories depending on the style of game you are looking for, whether you want to play on your own, or with your family and friends.
#GOOD MAC GAMES FOR KIDS FULL#
When we wrote the Taming Gaming book we packed the second half with full colour game ‘recipes’ as a resource for parents and families. Games like A Short Hike, Alba A Wildlife Adventure or even No Man's Sky. Other games, like Everything and Proteus, offer a huge world to poke and prod without getting embroiled with progression.Įven games that do offer a strong sense of story and development often include post-game play or side-quest distractions that are simply there for you to spend time fiddling with rather than winning or losing. Then there are other games, like Townscaper and Pok Pok Playroom, that let you craft your own structures but with none of the usual video game emphasis on score and winning. Some games, like The Longing, Animal Crossing and Adopt Me, simple slow down the need to progress, so all you do is check-in, fiddle around with the game world and then leave. It's no surprise that there are a number of video games that have picked up on this style of play. The enjoyment comes from doing something that isn't learning or achieving anything. While that initial trend subsided, the interest and enjoyment of tactile objects to fiddle with are very much with us.įidget toys are like the yo-yo or Rubik's cube but without the focus on skill. Fidget spinners burst into the hands of children a number of years ago.
