Beyond good and evil seems like a good title with all the antropomorphic characters and isn’t too violent. I think the political themes will be lost on a 5 year old however

Silent Hill 2 is my favorite

Call of Cuthulhu dark corners of the earth is amazing up to the point where you get a weapon, but gets really bad after. Still worth playing up to that point.

Alien isolation is really scary, especially on higher difficulties since the alien acts differently on higher difficulties. It’s just too long and drags pretty hard in places.
