Platformers are the genre that finally made games “click” with my 10yr old daughter. She likes the show Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir and on a whim I download Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx. A simple platformer that she absolutely loved! She then tackled New Super Lucky’s Tale and had a blast (it’s is a great game) and Spyro the Dragon. Any other platformer suggestions for a young girl just getting into games? We’re limited to Xbox right now.

Sounds like we're in the 3D wheelhouse, right? I'd recommend Tinykin!

Can't wait for this and Zelda. And also The Plucky Squire! Too many good games.

The difficulty was one of the things the first two LittleBigPlanet games got so right (and the third got so wrong). Tons of checkpoints, mini games, optional challenges, all that kind of stuff.

Oh, that's interesting about the third one! I never got over the weird physics feel of LBP, which meant I never really engaged with the campaigns.
