Today, April 15, Children’s Day is celebrated in Spain, so we have decided to remember some of those games that have been carried out by kids and that, in some way, they have marked us since we tried them. Because titles in which children are the lords and masters there are many, but that have seduced us by everything they came to transmit… there are not so many anymore.
The smallest of the house are the protagonists
Children and video games have had an inseparable relationship since the medium began several decades ago. From classics like earthbound We have been able to make the smallest of the house the protagonists of some of the best stories, even the occasional Zeheda – by appearance puerile of the protagonist So, How Today is Children’s Day in Spainwe are going to review those five stories that, in some way, marked us forever.
By the way, we already know that we left out many other classics, but here we have stuck to the experiences that we have lived in first person so if you have other releases that you want to recommend, do not hesitate to leave them in the comments. Thank you!
Inside
As you can see throughout the list, paradoxically, these innocent beings are often used to tell really shady stories. In this case, we will control a child who, using her imagination, will have to escape from an evil company who makes the most cruel experiments with all kinds of living beings. The most remarkable thing about this title is that the story is interpreted by each player as he sees fit. You can buy it for PC here.
Limbo
in this game of scroll side and platforms we will have to control a boy who, crossing a sinister forest in which he will be attacked by all kinds of dangers, he has to try to find his lost sister. For fans of games with hidden meanings, this is one of those titles that, after finishing it, will have you reflecting on your existence for weeks, we assure you.

Little Nightmares
This game is one of those that has gone down in recent history on its own merits. We will control a little girl who will have to make her way through a world infested with adult enemies which, with their design, seem to be taken from the twisted mind of Tim Burton. It is one of the puzzle titles and whatsurvival horror? most celebrated in recent years… if you like these two genres. If you want to try it on PC, here you can buy it.
The Last Guardian
This game –influenced by different Asian mythologies– will put us in the shoes of a boy who, locked in a mysterious fortress, will have to join forces with a strange creature to try to escape. This title could remind us of several movies in which a young man meets a strange being, like ET the alien either How to Train Your Dragon. Its emotional impact is tremendous and It is one of the most moving stories we have ever experienced.. Also, playing it on PS5 is a joy.
Super Mario World 2 Yoshi’s Island
Although we are doing some cheating with this game, we consider that It is one of the first and most iconic classics starring a child. Here we will have to protect a baby Mario who plays on Yoshi’s back… while we will try to rescue a very young Luigi from the clutches of the Koopas. If you are a fan of Mario, this title is for you and you can enjoy it right now through Nintendo Online on your Switch, thanks to the Super Nintendo games that come as a gift.
