Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC) - eviltoast

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are relatively kid-friendly (or at least with my guidance and supervision) and easy for her to just wander about and be nosy.

Any suggestions? Simple adventure/fantasy would be great and provide us with something to progress through together, but anything that lets you explore a neighborhood and/or poke around in buildings and such would be perfect. I’m picking up Goat Simulator today for that exact purpose.

I appreciate it in advance.

    If you’re open to dealing with emulation, both the new Zeldas pretty much fit the bill. There’s combat but probably less than Skyrim.

    Slime Rancher is one I enjoyed for a while that’s definitely kid friendly. Supraland didn’t really grab me, but in terms of being super tame and having varied stuff to explore it fits again.

    If it specifically has to be houses/cities, none of those fit that well. But they have worlds that are varied and interesting.

      Botw/Totk’s combat might be a bit too difficult in the beginning for a 4 year old, so OP might need to take the reigns when combat starts.
