A hidden gem from 2009: Mini Ninjas
I've always been a PC player, even though my first electronic device was a Game Boy Advance. I didn't have much PC games, nor famous licences but I remembered one fondly: Mini Ninjas. Recently, I convinced my partner (a proud adult between 20 and 30 years old) to play it.
I watched his 8 hours long playthrough over his shoulder, doing something else and it striked me again. This game is still great and hadn't aged a bit. The 3D is still decent. The animations are polished. The lore is present. And there is full quality voice acting in my native language! (french)
If you have some kids that you'd like to sail in a polished, well-balanced and fun game (with still a few challenges!) that simply let them become a ninja, wait until this one is on Steam sale. It's worth it.
Even for adults, it's still a cool one to relax after a stressful day. No big troubles, diverse environments and levels, sliding, fishing... and cute animals.
Read the Steam comments for more, they write it better than myself.

Could be a cool game to wait until BOTW 2... á••Ê• •ᴥ•ʔà¨
🛠Careful, this game sometimes needs a fix to run on modern computers. It's a 2009 PC game, after all. Please follow the full tutorial by Quinn to play without issues. We are both IT engineers so we thoroughfully looked at the files provided and can confirm it's not fishy. Read the Steam ratings for more info.
Btw, it's a 2009 game so ofc it's not an ad. Yes, it's a kid game. Don't expect too much. Still, it's a great kid game.
