In this party game, little Bobby's chasing a feral dog, the BBQ's on fire, Jen's eating poisonous berries and the birthday cake still needs icing. It's just another wonderful day with the kids so... Ready! Set! Parent!

PlayStation UniverseRyan WrightSep 20187.5/10Think of the Children can be frustrating and a lot to contend with when playing solo, but this micro-management game is great fun with friends. Couch co-op play is a blast as you work together across multiple funny scenarios to ensure your parenting skills are up to scratch.

Nindie SpotlightNindie SpotlightSep 20187/10The game’s main weakness is really that as a single-player experience it’s a bit too hard to progress as a whole. Playing with up to 3 friends makes the fact that kids will get into trouble at different corners of the screen simultaneously less hopeless, and you can then shoot for more of a zone defense approach to be successful. I’m not sure if the game intended to emphasize the wisdom in there being 2 parents, or even better that it takes a village to raise a child, but while the extremes the game goes to are pretty ridiculous (and generally entertaining) the aggravation of parenting comes through in Think of the Children with some authenticity.

cublikefootClaire FerrinJan 20184/10It was designed as a cooperative game and it shows. The concept and story are nice, but the difficult needs some serious changes to be viable for a solo player.
