Friendly games to play in cooperation with kids (sopuli.xyz)

As per the title, I'm looking to find some titles to play with my kids, especially RPGs, as Baldur's Gate 3 as struck the eye here but I'm not willing to fork the money for the graphics card required to run it.

I've been considering going back in time and go into Neverwinter Nights but I don't know if it has a cooperative mode.

Can someone give a few suggestions?

The machines available are not that powerful (one AM3 based system and one soon to be assembled AM4 with a budget G series Ryzen). The rest are laptops reserved solely for work.

Any help is appreciated.

I can recommend https://www.spiralknights.com/ . It's free to play. If you install it with Steam, you get voice chat with other steam players. Party size max in dungeons is 4. Parties can be public, invite only and open for friends.

Even tho there are unnecessary event items (mostly cosmetics/reskins/gambling boxes) that can only be bought initially with IRL money, those items can be traded for in-game currency afterwards, so everything can be obtained for free.

some people think the game imvolves lots of grinding, but it's actually their choice to do that. you can just play for fun and still progress. there is even one guy who famously stopped playing dungeons and just trades stuff.
