So over the Christmas holiday I built a PC for my daughter (12) and my wife (35). I've been trying to find a game that we can all play and would enjoy together.

Some background:

Daughter likes Roblox and Minecraft. That's about it. She doesn't like survival mode in Minecraft, only creative. I don't mind Minecraft but not my go to.
Wife likes Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Doesn't care for Minecraft or Roblox
I'm a WoW veteran, enjoy RimWorld, and alot of Counter Strike 2 at the moment.

I'm trying to find something that might be able to meet all of our interests so we can do something together on a Friday/Saturday night. Would be nice to find a game that is somewhat of a dungeon crawl and has a story attached to it. BG3 might be too advanced for the 12 year old, as she probably won't hold the attention span to do it.

Not sure if there is an easier BG3 like game out there? Suggestions welcome!

Maybe it's just me, but I'd play the hell out of BG3 when I was 12.

The amount of time I spent on TES 4 and 5 back then, and BG3 hits just the right spot with the variety of ways it allows you to play it.

Minecraft is also in my top favorites.

What I'm saying is, don't count BG3 out completely. Not to mention that it's very saturated, so a shorter attention span shouldn't really be a problem, but you never know.

As for suggestions. Definitely Terraria, as others mentioned. There was also Lego Fortnite, which looks like it would fit the tastes. Maybe also party games?
