Children may not be ready to stomp through the bombed-out Boston wasteland of Fallout 4, or be mature enough for the slay-happy sex and violence of Witcher 3, but the filthy secret of “Kids Games” is that they’re far from the sanitized, primary colorized, the-cow-says-type of early-childhood stuff the term brings to mind. Kids should be less synonymous with edu-tainment than with anything easy to learn and quick to entertain. No one bails on an activity faster than a bored child, and no one knows that better than a developer making his bones how to engage with nations of fickle little ingrates.
