My 6 year old has just completed Lego city undercover on a Nintendo switch. I will switch to a steam deck for my own gameplay but to sweeten the deal and let me sell the switch, please could you recommend games that would be good for a 6/7 year old?

Looking for games he can play by himself without much help and also games we could play together.

Thanks in advance!

    Tons of Lego games are also available on the Deck. Minecraft is always great. GCompris is a great collection for children.

    And of course you can always emulate Switch games.

      I will warn that some of the Lego games are rather buggy on PC. My son and I played all the way through Skywalker Saga and then when we started doing free play found that it would constantly crash.

        I had the same issues on my Windows PC. But they run great on my SteamDeck.

          I don’t use Windows at all, and have had the issue I mentioned for Skywalker Saga both on Steam OS and in Fedora on my laptop.

          It does only occur in split screen though.

            Oh, that makes sense. Local multiplayer on SteamDeck can still be pretty rubbish, so I probably just didn’t notice.
