While most of us grew up with family friendly video games like Mario, Sonic, and Pac Man,
what games should kids play in a world of Halo, God of War, and Grand Theft Auto?
Fear not because we got you covered as we highlight some of the best PS4 games for kids.
Spyro Reignition Trilogy We can’t think of a better
way to kick off this list than with everybody’s favorite purple dragon Spyro!
This remastered version of the Spyro games from the PS1
is faithful to the originals and has a beautiful facelift that will make kids feel like they are
participating in an interactive cartoon.
For parents who grew up playing these games we can imagine it’d be wonderful to see their kids experience the
same joys they had playing Spyro. While adults will find the game easy, this is
a great introduction to the world of video games for kids who may be playing for the first time.

Overcooked 2 Have you ever heard
the phrase “Too many cooks in the kitchen?” That doesn’t apply to Overcooked 2, as it’s one of the
most fun party games on the market. The difficulty is a little higher than other games on this list,
but the fun character designs and crazy kitchen designs will surely draw kids in.
The game can be completed with up to four players, which is the perfect game for siblings to play. So
grab some controllers and encourage your kids to channel their inner Iron Chef!
Ratchet and Clank
this is the story of a lombax named ratchet and his robot friend clank and
the muscular irresistibly handsome hero who helped them save the galaxy
Not only is this a great game for kids, it’s one of the best PS4 games ever. This reimagining of
the original game inspired by Pixar films features a story that will delight fans of all ages.
Rarely can games achieve being funny and epic at the same time
but Insomniac Games nailed it on both fronts. Ratchet and Clank features addictive gameplay,
as well as creative and innovative weapons, like a gun that turns enemies into pixels. While we all
wait for the duo to make their PS5 debut this is a perfect game to have some laughs and get lost in.

Including this game on our list was a no brainer, Who doesn’t love Lego and Marvel?
show yourself and cease this temporal foolery
Featuring the signature light beat ‘em up action and collectible gameplay the Lego Video games
are known for. This is a delightful universe for fans young and old featuring Marvel’s most popular
charters like Spider-Man and Iron Man to obscure ones like Hit Monkey and Arizona Girl (don’t worry
we had to look those characters up too). Comics legend, Kurt Busiek wrote the game, and he didn’t
hold back on writing a truly bizarre story to take advantage of the fun and creative nature of Lego,
that kids will appreciate.
Minecraft
This classic launched in 2011 and is still going strong today. This is perhaps the biggest video
game we’ve ever covered with 200 million copies sold and available on every modern console. While
most video games are focused on destruction, Minecraft encourages players to build and
create. It’s easy to see why this is a popular choice among adults and kids, Minecraft is the
video game equivalent of Lego. The developers are consistently hard at work updating the game,
making sure Minecraft’s dedicated fan base has new content. Minecraft offers players plenty of bang
for their buck, the game is almost ten years old and there’s no reason it won’t last another ten.
Cat Quest RPGs are normally big
haunting time consuming affairs, but this simple intuitive game features
an open world with plenty of dungeon crawling. In Cat Quest when player’s die,
it’s very forgiving so younger kids will feel encouraged to keep coming back to it.
The game has been described as charming and funny. This cat’s tail
is also engaging and features genuine surprises. Described as “a world crafted
in the style of overworld maps of yore and purring with cat-tastic characters,
stories, and puns!” by the developers, Cat Quest is a Pur-fect RPG for kids.
yo stay in the back yo yo get back in that bed
Super Lucky’s Tale This is another game that is perfect
for kids looking to play their first video game as it doesn’t require the player to have a high skill
level. Done in the same spirit as games like Spyro and Mario 64. Super Lucky’s Tale is a throwback to
the simpler times of gaming when all you needed was an adorable mascot and solid platforming.
So many games try to appeal to hardcore gamers while Super Lucky’s Tale is totally content being
for new gamers or people just looking to relax with a video game. Don’t confuse simplicity for
boring as Lucky features a variety to get you through his adventure. He’s not Mario
but you kids may hold Lucky in the same light if they play this game.
Wipeout Omega Collection While we’ve focused mainly on platformers,
we thought it’d be fun to change it up with this super fast futuristic racing game.
This series originally debuted as one of the first games for PS1, and while it may not be as famous
as Ratchet & Clank, and Spyro, the Wipeout series is part of Playstation’s DNA. This is a remaster
of Wipeout HD and Wipeout2048, and features a ridiculously awesome soundtrack with songs from
deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia, and the Prodigy. If you ever played Mario Kart but felt like you
wanted it to be set in a rave, or maybe your kids are getting a little older and don’t want cartoon
characters, Wipeout is an overlooked racing game that everybody can have a blast playing.
And that’s our list of the Best PS4 games for kids, we hope we’ve provided you with some quality games.
