Friendly games to play in cooperation with kids (sopuli.xyz)

As per the title, I'm looking to find some titles to play with my kids, especially RPGs, as Baldur's Gate 3 as struck the eye here but I'm not willing to fork the money for the graphics card required to run it.

I've been considering going back in time and go into Neverwinter Nights but I don't know if it has a cooperative mode.

Can someone give a few suggestions?

The machines available are not that powerful (one AM3 based system and one soon to be assembled AM4 with a budget G series Ryzen). The rest are laptops reserved solely for work.

Any help is appreciated.

Not sure how old your kids are, but mine are 7 and 11 and I would definitely NOT play BG3 with them. If it were a movie, I don't think it would even get an R rating given all the sex and gore.

(To be clear, not judging the game. I quite enjoy it. Just don't find it appropriate for my little ones. Caveat emptor.)

FWIW, I had a lot of fun playing thru Portal with my son. No official co-op mode in the first one, but the second one has it and it's pretty old at this point so should run fine on older machines.

BG3 is not even being considered as an option but a few videos on Youtube peaked curiosity about the genre and gameplay style and I'd like to explore it a bit with them

Well it’s basically Dungeons and Dragons, just in video game form. I would go get the DnD starter set and try that out. Should only be like $20
