Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

    Celeste. It’s a platformer with a nice story about anxiety and overcoming one’s fears.

      IDK man I’m a grown adult and I died 2,000 times before completing the game. I know I’m not the best player ever but giving it to a 5yo may lead to problems

        It has a variety of assist-mode options. My 8-year-old plays it and enjoys it, and actually can play with no assist most kf the time now.

        Yeah I’m in my 20s and I found even the first few levels too hard. Granted, I’m a total noob when it comes to platformers, but I think the game would be immediately frustrating for a 5 year old

      And to add, the game can be extremely difficult but it can be customized to play very easily, even for a 5 year old. The colors are bright, there’s some slightly scary parts but I’m sure you could play those with her!

      Very wholesome message and no killing involved, just some strawberry farming!

      Seconding because my 8-year-old plays and loves it, due tobthe fact that it has assist-mode options. He now plays without assist mode at all, and is pretty freaking good at it.
