The typical gamer stereotype has ch🍎anged massively in the last couple of decades. Gone are the days where gamers were just teenage boys, now people of all shapes, genders and sizes are gamers. New parents of today have probably grown up gaming, as the last three decade♎s saw a massive rise in gaming and a huge improvement in graphical and storytelling power. So, it wouldn’t be surprising that you’d want your little girl to have an early introduction to video games.
A lot of video ga♕mes these days are loud, violent and even harrowing in their narrative. Unfortunately, this means they’re far from suitable for girls under 10 years old! Luckily for all you parents, we’ve put together a list of the 10 best PS4 games for girls under 10 years old.
