Is Stardew Valley good for an autistic, PDAer, anxious, easily dysregulated 6-year-old?

Or any other games to recommend? No in-app purchases pls. Trying to avoid violence and even adversaries, if possible. Classic building games that can be played offline seem best.

For e.g., he loves Roller Coaster Tycoon. But he is starting to get a little bored and dysregulated by it because he has hit a cliff in terms of winning hard levels.

PS: also, seeking opinions on Animal Crossing as well.

For clarity, I know practically nothing about games or gaming myself. So don't worry about stating the obvious - it won't be obvious to me.

Oh, and the platform is MS Windows. (As I mentioned, ideally a game that can be downloaded and played offline.)

@trigonella there is an element of fighting with stardew valley, killing monsters in mines.

It is a very relaxing game though and one I enjoy and recommend.

Animal Crossing is more relaxing, slower paced, and friendly. No fighting and no real dying, you can get stung by an insect and pass out.

Hope that helps.
