Ask HN: More Co-op games I can carry my 5 year old through?
I am trying to keep my son off of ad riddled tablet games when he gets some electronics time. I have a short list of good couch co-op games I can "carry" him through because he is still learning and finds a lot of game frustrating, especially newer more complex games.
Does anyone have good suggestions for games similar to the following?
- Kirby Dream Land (SNES)
- Super Smash Bros Brawl: Adventure Mode
- TMNT: Turtles in Time
- Spiritfarer
Kirby for me nails the forgiving second player mechanic by making them unable to fall to death, easy extra life, I can essentially force progression by moving forward and he just flies towards me at a certain point. The balance just feels right in that game and the others mentioned. Only problem is I can't seem to find a wealth of games that hit this sweet spot.

Any ideas HN crowd?
