PS4 games for kids

[Bevo in VA 342]

Getting a PS4 for the kids for Christmas.  Have 4 and 8 year old boys.  Both like lego star wars; older one likes minecraft.  Trying to come up with games for each of them - any recommendations appreciated.

What sports do they like? My kid plays the hell out of FIFA, Madden, and NBA Live.

Thanks - will check it out.  I've seen the name but had no idea what it was.

Soccer and football.  Was looking at FIFA - do you think the 4 year old would get anything out of it?  I think the older one would like it.

hmmm - probably not.

You can get on the ps store and search stuff too. He might be able to play transformers devastation.

The 8 year old will definitely like FIFA. If your house is anything like mine, the 4 year old will do whatever big brother likes.

Look, at some point he's got to learn that he can get quick cash from beatin hoes.

Lego games are pretty good.  Lego avengers, lego jurassic park, lego star wars, lego whatever.  All are ok.  Our kids (6 yo) have a hard time with the controller size so consider getting a smaller controller for the 4 yo.

Crash bandicoot rates well.  

Unravel looks cool but kids never picked it up.  For a driving game, the cars 3 game is something they could connect with and is a little challenging with repeatability.  

Rocket league can be fun

Plants vs zombies

Sonic Forces (sonic the hedgehog)

Rocket League is awesome!

My kids started with the Lego games -- Lego Batman, etc. My son loves the Forza series on his Xbox at my ex's house but I haven't found a PS4 equivalent yet.
