3 Best PS4 Kids Games of March 2018

Frantics

Best PS4 Kids Games of March 2018

A few of the PlayStation PlayLink games that have released over the past few months are great for kids. Knowledge is Power is a quirky quiz game and Singstar allows you to sing your heart out to the most popular pop hits of recent years. The latest game, Frantics, once again sees you and some friends play from your smartphones, choosing options that correspond with what’s on the TV screen.

The game itself features 15 unique mini games that see you compete “in everything from frenetic action arena brawls to strategic turn-based competitions.” The aim is to win more crowns than your friends and be ‘crowned’ the winner. However, there’s a sly fox lurking who sends secret messages and bribes to the competitors as they play, potentially having a huge impact on the final result. Frantics is great with a group of friends or family members and it is perfectly suited to the younger gamer.

Scribblenauts Showdown

Best PS4 Kids Games of March 2018

It is more of a collection of puzzles and mini-games than the previous games in the series, but Scribblenauts Showdown can provide hours of fun for younger gamers. Using the game’s huge library of words, you can play around with almost anything you can imagine.

Any imaginative kid will have a wonderful time with Showdown, being able to play with crazy things from polka-dotted frogs to a miniature, one-legged T-Rex. Also, if they’ve got some friends that are interested as well, many of Scribblenauts Showdown’s mini games are designed for four players. It’s silly, fun, and gives kids the chance to be creative while they play.

Octahedron

Best PS4 Kids Games of March 2018

Octahedron will certainly be more appealing to kids from an art and sound perspective than a gameplay one. That’s not to say the gameplay isn’t good, it certainly is, but rather that it can get challenging at times. As a stick-man like character, you can create platforms to leap your way to the top of each stage. The platforming can require some precisely-timed button presses, but it’s never overly tough.

The visual style, which is bright, flashing neon on a black background, is striking, and is complimented excellently but a pumping original soundtrack. The visuals and music are sure to entice kids that are after something a bit different, it just may take them a while to get use to the gameplay.
