This game was so breathtakingly amazing that I am genuinely sad that it is over.

My 6yo daughter and I loved every moment and not only did the chracters grow to love each other again, but I watched my daughter grow over the last few months from trying her best to play it with me, to absolutely blindsiding me with how many of the puzzles and platfroming she now pulls off effortlessly.

When it ended it was So so so bitter sweet. It had been our thing to do when we had time together lately and now we have no idea what will fill that void of relaxing gaming with my little girl. She rushed to tell my wife we had finished it and she was so proud! But then when she returned to the study, she asked me if I could find a game just like this one...but one does not exist!

I have never had a game in the last 25 years or so effect my heart so much as this game, it remind me of when I was young, discovering Shining Force 2 for the first time!

The game play, the MASSIVE amount of genres touched on, the secrets, the easter eggs, THE MINIGAMES! The story, amazing!

I have never played anything like this. As the final cut scene played my daughter said, "you know daddy, mummy would probably be crying at this bit", with tears in my eyes I turned to my daughter and said with a smile, "Yeh, she might, but not me hey, Id never cry" It was at this point she noticed my tears, she smiled and gave me a big hug. Now tell me what game could achieve that.

10/10 a fan for life. Absolutely speechless on how good this game is!

@Derit93: I made light of it by saying "Ohh no not the poor Teddy, but i'm sure they will fix it", she replied "yep, because all Disney movies have happy endings daddy" I did not correct her:)

I just adored this game and I couldn't agree more with your review. However, how did you play this game with a 6yo without having her traumatised by the elephant scene?

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Try Pode. The graphics are adorable, the controls can be a bit tricky and take a little time to get use to, but you have to work together :) And it's definitely friendly for a 6 year old who loves to play games with her dad :)

This made me smile. Get a system with a lot of co-op games, enjoy more time with her, best of luck. =)

It's funny. I wrote a review almost identical to yours without seeing this. My daughter is 12 and we didn't want it to end. <3

Already see Unravel 2 here. I'm buying this to play with my 6 yr old after reading this due to how much fun we had with Unravel 2.

another fun one is Journey
unfortunately not as many hours of playtime as this but very rewarding

@bOOt - That would be fantastic practise as their is quite alot of tricky jumping and platforming here too.

Thanks for the review 🙏

I've been playing Super Mario 3D World, with my kid for a few years now, maybe that could at least partially fill the void ^_^
