I remember many of those very fondly, thanks for the memories. As far as explicitly educational games go, the Dragonbox apps are often recommended around these parts. I’ve recently downloaded them, although I have yet to try them.
And I also feel like in general the educational value of games like Minecraft, BotW, etc is often undersold - partly out of stigma surrounding the medium as a whole, partly because they’re often teaching skills that are difficult to directly measure.
I have no doubt that when he’s a bit older, things like Cities: Skylines, Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Kerbal, Outer Wilds, Rimworld, etc will continue to entertain and educate.
