PS5 / Xbox / PC

007 First Light

From the Hitman devs, and you feel it. A cracking Bond story, fun combat, and dead easy to pause for the kids. A few online hiccups aside, an easy recommend.

Released May 27, 2026

Forza Horizon 6

Japan, 550+ cars, classic Skylines and Supras everywhere, and yes, you get to race a giant mech. One of the most parent-friendly games I've played in a while.

Released May 19, 2026

From Housemarque, the devs behind Returnal. Third-person action roguelite with bullet-hell combat, 8 biomes and 8 bosses. More approachable than its predecessor.

Released April 30, 2026

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Team Cherry's long-awaited follow-up. Play as Hornet in a new kingdom. Out now.

Slay the Spire 2

The deckbuilding roguelike returns. In early access on Steam.

A beat-em-up where every punch syncs to the music. Neon-drenched and short-session friendly.

Who's Writing This?

I'm Alex Kropp, dad of four, based in Moreton Bay, QLD. I review games the way a real parent plays them: in 30-60 minute sessions, often interrupted, and always straight up about whether a game deserves your time and money.

Kropp Gaming has pulled over 3 million views across the channel.

I'll always tell you how long it takes to get good, whether the price is justified, and whether it's worth squeezing in after the kids go to bed.
