What's the underwater game that came out a few years ago? Your spaceship crashes in the ocean of a cold planet, and you explore and make bases, and solve a mystery... SubZero or something?

Grimy,

Subnautica? I think subzero was maybe an expansion for it.

Zahille7,

Below Zero is Subnautica 2

WebTheWitted,

Subnautica! That’s the first (and better) one IMHO. The sequel is Below Zero.

Might be a little scary for a 4 yo - at least it can be that way for this thirty something.

This is a good suggestion because in the Subnautica Below Zero you can play a custom game mode where you can turn off predator aggression, hunger, thirst, and freezing allowing you to roam to your hearts content without getting eaten.

Outer Wilds

Might be a little advanced for a 4yo, but it definitely checks the exploration/adventure mark.

teawrecks,

I was also going to suggest this. No, she won’t be able to understand what she’s doing in it yet, but the game is a celebration of exploration.

There’s a few short indie adventure games that may fit the bill:

I haven’t played Stray, but it may be a good fit. I also haven’t played past the opening scene of Firewatch, but if your daughter can manage walking around Skyrim then I think it should be okay.

I searched for indie exploration games. City of Muse came up.

There’s a list of 3D exploration games on Itch.

If combat is an option, those simple ARPGs could fit the bill nicely:

The Peppa Pig game is surprisingly open. If you just walk off screen it lets you keep going and you end up in new locations. Hop on the bus and end up in another location. There aren’t many blocks to stop you from going where you feel like going and there’s a variety of activities at each location.

The putt putt line of games. They run on scummvm and my kids love them. Later kings quest, and stardew valley. The lego marvel super heroes on Xbox 360 (I think there’s a pc version) has an entire Manhattan island that they can roam around freely and interact with.

Slime Rancher might be worth looking into.

maxprime, do gaming w Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

Maybe Stardew valley would scratch that itch. Or some old rpgs like FF or chrono trigger.

If you're open to dealing with emulation, both the new Zeldas pretty much fit the bill. There's combat but probably less than Skyrim.

Slime Rancher is one I enjoyed for a while that's definitely kid friendly. Supraland didn't really grab me, but in terms of being super tame and having varied stuff to explore it fits again.

If it specifically has to be houses/cities, none of those fit that well. But they have worlds that are varied and interesting.

Botw/Totk’s combat might be a bit too difficult in the beginning for a 4 year old, so OP might need to take the reigns when combat starts.

conciselyverbose,

That's possible. I think it's more kid friendly than Skyrim though.

It's also mostly easy to ignore.

Minecraft, if you play online and enter a server like Cubecraft the default lobby is very kid friendly and has a large interesting map to explore. And of course the game itself has tons of single player content and you can build your own stuff in survival or creative modes.

Try Grand Theft Auto 5 and see what you think. If you don’t actually do any missions it’s really a very nice and alive world to explore. The pedestrians make some rude comments though.

Also Arma 3, the base map is a sandbox of a real life island with most buildings enterable, and no people or traffic or anything offensive by default. You can enter the editor, place a civilian player and some vehicles, and explore the island completely peacefully. There are also lots of mod maps some are very good.

If only driving around is acceptable then the Forza Horiizon games are great for driving around.

lemmylommy,

I agree with Minecraft, just not online and put it on peaceful. But GTA? That must be a joke. Even outside of the missions there is plenty of driving over people, shooting and other events that are inappropriate at that age.

dan1101,

I don’t know, I used to let my young niece play GTA 4 at least, supervised the whole time of course. The rule was you could drive around until you crashed or hit someone, then we switched players. Generally there is no trouble unless you make trouble. The pedestrians can make rude comments but having the volume low solves most of that.

Skull and bones. I’m not even kidding. I played it during a closed alpha and I hated sea of thieves.

I second Skull and Bones, also played it during alpha and it was fun as fuck. Also, there’s a public beta coming up soon!

I had a Fisher Price pirates point and click adventure when I was… 6? I adored it so that I guess. Also there was a Muppets Treasure Island point and click adventure from back in the day. I’m sure that counts and is what you’re looking for.

sculd, do gaming w Cant really get into Mihoyo games on my commute

I play Honkai: Star Rail daily during commute. The day mission can mostly be auto’ed. More complicated quests can be done when you have time.

Puzzle Pirates was an amazing puzzle MMO. Unfortunately it died out and while you can still play it, the servers are quite abandoned

cyanarchy,

I miss it so much, it was great in its heyday.
