Are there assists on mk7?

Yeh another shout for Humans Fall Flat. Me and Elliot had an absolute blast playing that. Such fun.

Octodad is similarly hilarious. Brilliant game.

My 4 yr old may stand a chance against his brother.

They've been sticking assisted play schemes in quite a few of their games. 3D Land had an item drop for poor performance iirc, as did one of the Galaxies(?). Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze introduces a character with extra health who can't be hurt by hazardous ground. NSMBU Deluxe has two extra characters, one of whom can't be touched by enemies or projectiles. The difficulty doesn't seem to scale down for two players in Pokémon Let's Go, so co-op is an assist mode of sorts anyway, and Capt Toad becomes similarly breezy with two (the player in control of the cursor can even dispatch enemies with projectiles to protect the other player). Tennis added a boost mode in a patch, I think. Kirby on Switch is ready to roll for kids anyway.

dark souls, teach them the lesson early, life is harsh and frustrating. Everytime you fail you, you learn something new

Just max out those stats at character creation then.

Sacrifice intelligence if you must.

Tilly reckons she completed Spy Chameleon in a cardboard box but I'm not convinced.

Half a page of text lost because my colleague used my computer to book a holiday that she now wants to cancel.

My children 6 and 11 play plants vs zombies 1 & 2 on PS3 and the One
It's like call of duty for kids

I think you can with the second game.

Aye, the Plants vs Zombies games are great for kids.
Nintendo IP are always a safe bet as are classic 16 bit nintendo/sega games, og or emulated. My girl's little nieces and nephews love playing mario, sonic and kirby on the android phone.
They also have a weird fascination with anything Lego and mincraft. The newest trends seem to be pubg and fortnite although the idea of 6 and 7 year olds enjoying shooting eachother in the face is kindof unsettling.

We had a go with MK 8 on the Switch with all assists on for our 4 year old today and it's really well implemented. He couldn't place as high as his brother but it meant that he was competitive. The eldest was flabbergasted. Thanks for the recommendation guys

I've got Rayman Legends on the WiiU, I didn't actually know that was multiplayer.

I thought Unravel 2 was good for co-op with a mini badger, partly because it'd be a quality experience in its own right with two players of similar skill levels, but mainly because of how easy it is to seamlessly lend a hand if the other player is struggling. You can assist to varying degrees, whether by pulling the second player toward you manually, or timing the release of their swing yourself (don't quote me on this), but also by combining the two characters to navigate trickier sections for them (by hugging them, which is quite nice as she'd request to be hugged, see?). It genuinely allowed a not-quite-4 yr old to solve a couple of puzzles herself and feel like she'd executed the plan (which she did on occasion anyway, but didn't always notice when she hadn't).

The casual mode in Yoshi gives him wings and allows him to float through a stage.  It's sufficiently child friendly, my 4yr old just completed all the main tasks in the demo solo and it's definitely the most she's enjoyed anything since Odyssey.  Roll on March 29th.
