I don’t know why people tie themselves in knots over this. If you have money and you want to give it to a homeless person then do it.

My 5yo enjoyed Alba: A wildlife adventure. It’s not co-op but it’s not skill based and impossible to ‘die’. The camera angle can be hard for a little one to manage and I had to read all the dialogue. We still had fun with it though.

I was flying from LA to Sydney a few years ago and 2001: A Space Odyssey was available on the entertainment system. After a few hours and a couple of glasses of wine I put it on and fell straight asleep. I awoke groggily some time later to
