Stardew Valley

manualoverride,

I was so convinced Stardew Valley had ads and micro transactions I had to look it up, but no ads no MT.

Everything I found was positive, it may be the last bastion of cute and positive gaming.

slazer2au,

Also some major world expansions for free over the years.

Ginger Island is the most recent one, and I believe there is another one on the way as CA switches between Stardew and the unreleased chocolate game.

Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual “blackjack game” worth playing:

Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!

Heart star. I liked it so much i paid for it. It’s not a doll game, more like a 16bit puzzle platformer.

I’ve found that some games can still play after you’ve cut them off from the internet (in app settings from the phones general settings) but will no longer be able to display ads (and I assume microtransactions also won’t work then). Which might make some of the options you’ve currently ruled out work for you?

I was just looking at Valve’s publishing history. Their catalog is super small, only releasing games every few years. Aperture desk job was amazing (even if very short and sweet). I don’t have VR but Half Life:Alyx was also very well received. Recent evidence suggests there will be a HL3 sometime in the near future.

Do I wish Valve would invest more of the unfathomable amount of money they’re making into producing excellent games? Absolutely.

Am I going to hold it against them if some of the games they make are money-printing machines? Not really.

without having read any comments i bet 99% of them are people telling you that you shouldnt give your daughter girly games even if it is she who wants them.

I should have been more clear; I don’t like gender stereotypes and I am not pushing her towards anything. I’d be perfectly happy for her to play any game she likes, as long as it has no adds or micro transactions.

I literally typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

My first though was “Hell yea, another Pillars of Eternity game” then I remembered that Deadfire has been out for a long time and Avowed was announced a while ago.

I’m not a kid anymore, I don’t have time for a deep immersive single player campaign, I want a light casual game I can play a few rounds of to relax after work.

Geth,

I grew up and decided that games have a place in my life to give experiences, you grew up and decided that they are a source of burst distractions. I guess age has nothing to do with it and it’s just about personal preference.

zzx,

Your observation is wise

Some games give you a story that sticks with you and you love them for that (Half-Life, To The Moon, Bioshock Infinite). Some give you an experience that sticks with you but no story to speak of (like Doom and Doom II, which I still play).

What I dislike is having to deal with people in my games. I already do that in reality, thank you very much.

To me games are about escaping reality.

I’m not a kid anymore and I’m the opposite: give me a single player Half Life 3 so I can relax without getting stressed online after work.

DarkThoughts,

I honestly cannot fathom how people find pvp games relaxing. They're toxic as fuck and their competitive online nature makes them inherently stressful.

If you do anything enough times, most of your responses are automatic. You’re doing less thinking and more instinctively responding to the situation.

0ops,

Nah, I just type gg at the end. They’re just games, like disc golf, volleyball, or airsoft. I lose sometimes, actually I lose a fuck-ton, but that’s just statistics if the matchmaking isn’t actually the worst. It’s those wild unscripted moments. Coordinating with your buddies. Learning your opponents. Learning yourself.

I get the appeal of single player games, but I’ll just share my opinion: to me the most stressful gaming moments are hard bosses in single-player campaigns. If I get my ass handed to me in a multiplayer match, nbd “gg This is Rocket League”. I’ll get them next time. In the single player you’re stuck though. I’ve gotten migraines because I couldn’t beat a boss and I was stressing over the wasted money I spent on the game that I might not ever finish. Beating a boss after <5 tries is satisfying. Beating it after 20+ feels like getting out of the hospital.

DarkThoughts,

I find single player enemies to be mostly easy and usually it is just a pattern logic that you have to figure out. Online games are just engagements with people who clearly take the game and what happens way too seriously, evident when you don't meet the required expectations (that goes for being bad and better than them alike). I also find pvp games way too repetitive. It's always the same matches over and over again. The same map, the same weapons, the same tactics. The randomness of the matchmaking just adds to making it more of a pointless experience. But ultimately, nothing really changes.

Ioughttamow,

After two young kids I’ve pretty much abandoned multiplayer. Singleplayer, even deep ones, can be be paused, saved, interrupted and come back to later. And I’m wanting to go back to more distinct experiences, whereas I find stuff like league or live service games overfills time. I’m trying to avoid sandbox games too currently as well. Crusader kings, Stellaris, civilization are great, but im trying to concentrate on the more story driven games backlog right now

There is a !horizon community but unfortunately there just isn’t the interest to build an active community here (on Lemmy) for specific games at the moment. !games seems to be a good place for it at the moment but feel free to cross-post.

Here are some favourites of my daughter:

  • Minetest, a completely free and open source Minecraft clone
  • Picsart, a drawing app. I couldn’t find any free app that is similar in features.
  • the camera app, to make short videos, even cool stop motion videos, or pictures to paint on with Picsart
  • Signal, to share her art with the family. Although I don’t think it will run on a tablet.
  • Toca Boca World, a cute little game where you can decorate houses and play with figures
  • GCompris, a compilation of learning games, although she seems to have grown out of them in third grade

If you have a PC great games for her besides Minecraft are Spider-Man, Goat Simulator, Life is Strange: True Colors (we play that together) and GTA 5 (seriously, give her a 100% save. the interactivity in that game is through the roof)

This is the most useful answer and yet not the top answer or the answer that OP needs 🙄

I’d like to add Unpacking to the list, my girlfriend found it amazing, I am unsure if a school girl will find it fun too though.

No such thing as “girl games” and “boy games”. Just ones they like and ones they don’t.

muzzle,

I absolutely agree. I just typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

teawrecks,

Hah, sorry everyone jumped down your throat on the choice of words. Stardew Valley would be good for anyone old enough to read who would enjoy taking care of their own farm and building a relationship with villagers. I would call the graphics “cute”, but not gratuitously so (which might be preferred). Cooking Mama is another one that has a good reputation on non-mobile platforms, and it looks like they made an Android version. (Haven’t played the Android version, hopefully it’s not full of micro transactions).

If she has a Switch, I would say Animal Crossing.

RightHandOfIkaros,

There are definitely games where the primary/target demographic is boys or girls though.

The arcade classic “Centipede” is a good example of this. It was designed to try to attract women to play it. The colors were pastel shades and its sequel Millipede took it further by having a “story” about an elf archer protecting a mushroom forest from a bug invasion. Centipede was partially programmed by a woman (one of four people who made the game), Donna Bailey, who was also responsible for choosing the games vibrant pastel color palette.

Now, is Centipede or Millipede only for girls? No of course not. No video game is only for a single demographic. But real world data showed that girls/ women generally played Centipede and Millipede more than boys/men did. Some things just have a general appeal to some demographics more than others. So typically when a person asks for “girl games,” they just means games that will have a high appeal to girls or games that were designed with girls as the primary demographic.

Otome visual novels are this way as well. They target a female playerbase with a story-based romance game and generally feature a female protagonist who romances male characters in the game.
