Here are a couple games you and your daughter might enjoy: FEZ - also a puzzle-platformer, featured with Braid and Super Meat Boy in Indie Game: The Movie Portal/Portal 2 - a first-person platform/puzzler with a sci-fi atmosphere The Long Dark - a single-player adventure/survival game that takes place in the Canadian wilderness. Not a puzzler, but has a painterly art style like Braid and a sense of discovery exploring new locations. Terraria/Minecraft - these games are already immensely popular among kids. Mining/crafting adventure games in 2-d and 3-d, respectively. There is a creative component in building forts/bases. FTL: Faster than Light - a spaceship rogue-like game. Too complex for a young child, but fun gameplay if you're into Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica sci-fi themes. Kerbal Space Program - THE game to learn rocket science and orbital mechanics [1]. Fun, engaging, and tremendously educational. If you've ever dreamed of orbiting the planet or landing on the moon, this is an incredible game. I recommend starting with Science or Career mode, because Sandbox is just overwhelming with the number of parts available. You will probably need to design the rockets at first, but your child can be involved with launching/staging (just requires pressing space bar at the right time).
