Valheim got the cousins together for us, though we're older than your daughter. It has a building element like minecraft and mild terraforming. There's some farming for plants and animals. There's sequential crafting discovery as you pick up new items. We probably have 200 multi-player hours in the last year, not counting solo/duo maintenance/prep sessions. It was difficult for me to play by myself initially without guidance, but we've all flourished once a basic base and consistent supply chain was figured out. I think the latest build added adjustable difficulties, but there's many mods out there, not even including console/dev commands. The artistically-dated graphics mask how great of a gameplay loop it can have and how large the world is
If you make it this far, just know that we're all sorry about the Swamps. They're the first real challenge where food becomes critical to survival. Don't leave iron there. You will never have enough iron.
