Why we picked this?

Slaughter is a game of survival. You play as Russell, a mercenary who has been imprisoned by a group of madmen. Grab whatever weapons you can find and fight your way out of a prison and through the streets of an abandoned town. You’re able to move around the open environments using on screen joysticks, and you can experience the action through either a first- or third-person perspective. Tap to reload weapons, and swipe to toggle between them. The game includes both a campaign and a survival mode.

Why we picked this?

Tiny Trees is an interactive experience for the whole family. Join Nora and her dad Cosmo aboard their spaceship and seek out new adventures by interacting with the environment. Your main task is caring for a seed by providing water, sunlight, and entertainment. As it grows new tasks will be unlocked, which will take you outside of the ship and across an unexplored planet.

You have a young child with a curious mind.

You have a toddler. The various interactions aren’t that obvious, so they’ll get lost.
