The pleasures of gaming can be enjoyed at any age. In fact, lifelong gamers often have fond memories of their first game, their first discoveries of this vast videogame universe. Arcade terminals, Gamecube, Master System, NES, Game Boy, the first Xbox and PlayStation... A console for every generation!
Today's young people are discovering video games on smartphones, PCs, Nintendo Switch, PS5 or Xbox Series... Good for them! Some great games are available on these devices, and should create some great memories for them.
But children shouldn't be allowed to play just anything: the game must be adapted to their age andcognitive or physical faculties(holding a PS5 controller with small hands isn't easy...). That's why the editorial team at Sortiraparis has put together a selection of games for you to give your children that are just right for them. From educational games to games based on their favorite cartoons, there's something for every age!
So, without further ado, here's our selection of video games that are suitable for children - and that might appeal to older kids too! To ensure a good gaming experience for your little blonde head, always consult the age restrictions indicated on each title.
