omega64: Still have issues in Icewind Dale though, can't kill a "Shadow", can kill lesser shadows.
Weapons are ineffective or whatever.
Don't shadows need magic weapons to be damaged? Not sure if they need a +1 or +2 (or even higher), too long since I've looked.

In my childhood I loved Torin's Passage.

I don't know?
I'm playing on the easiest difficulty to avoid stuff like that. xD
Guess I'll need to go back to town to shop.

Wow, the recommendations keep coming, thank you! So far, I have compiled a pretty long list with a lot of great games. Some of which I'm interested in playing as well.

Oh right recommendations.
Crayon Physics Deluxe would probably be a good one.

Botanicula. https://www.gog.com/game/botanicula.
cutesy point & click, gerat game.

Lilly looking through.

Someone else mentioned it & it is a good game, albeit seems unfinished, definitely worth grabbing.

SteamWorld Dig. https://www.gog.com/game/steamworld_dig
Good game, sort of Minecraft meets Terraria.
Short, but worth a play.

Unepic. https://www.gog.com/game/unepic
Good game, funny & totally random sights from time to time, like when I was in a dark area, there was a small light in the chamber below, when all of a sudden Zoidberg scuttled across :D
Plenty of film references to spot too.

Journey of a roach. https://www.gog.com/game/journey_of_a_roach

Banished. https://www.gog.com/game/banished
Great sim style game & can be modded.

Desktop Dungeons. https://www.gog.com/game/desktop_dungeons

If the kid likes (or at least doesn't hate) Point & Click Adventures, I'd say a good choice would be Sam & Max Hit the Road.

Just in case you were interested in Steamworld Dig, it's currently on sale in the Humble Store for 75% off, Steam key + DRM-free download.

Puzzle Agent and Puzzle Agent 2 are discounted even more, also including DRM-free builds.

sanfueg: Hello, GOG community! A friend asks me almost every week for some game recommendations, for his 8 years old kid. The problem is that most of the time it ends up being too hard for him to enjoy the game.
So far I had success with Eets Munchies, and somewhat successful with World of Goo.
Not so good with: racing games, platformer games (Trine series), point and click games (Machinarium, Botanicula).
I'm looking for titles that are easy to play, with a more static approach, like Eets Munchies, where you can pause the game and think about what to do next. Also, I have tried Contraption Maker, and Osmos with no result so far.
From what I heard he plays a lot The Room on an android tablet, and enjoys it very much.
GOG recommendation would be best, but Steam, retail or android are also good.
Creeper World series (http://knucklecracker.com/)

GemCraft: Chasing Shadows - (http://store.steampowered.com/app/296490/)

Max and the magic marker - (http://store.steampowered.com/app/50820/)


The Hive is in alpha yet, but shaping up nicely (http://store.steampowered.com/app/325730/)

Check your chat, had a few that have been mentioned here lying around. :)

Oh, and since Max and the Magic Marker has been mentioned two times now, don't overlook Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, the standalone sequel of sorts that I found to be much more fun and much more polished than the predecessor. Maybe easier as well, but I guess for someone who has serious problems to get into platformers like Trine they both might be a little challenging. Although, now that I think about it, Max and the Magic Marker has a pause and draw mode, so maybe that's better suited. The Curse of Brotherhood is 100% real-time.

I'm really bad at puzzles, so of course I managed to get stuck eventually.
It is a delightful game though.

Symphony might be worth a look, especially since you can use your own music in the game if he should be fond of music.
Posted May 18, 2016
I suggest Europa Universalis, Dwarf Fortress, a JRPG like any Shin Megami Tensei and also Dark Souls.
