The optional challenge levels (called crucible; needed to unlock the 'happier' ending) were pure torture though. YouTube videos make them seem quite easy. But I struggled a lot! I managed to complete all of them though. Unlocking that ending was very satisfying. But I will always remember this game to be the one that made me realize I'm getting old! My reflexes are not what they used to be. Swore not to subject myself to anything like that again. Willfully avoiding any tough game after that experience, how much ever it might appeal to me (eg. cuphead).

Cuphead has an easier difficulty and if you play with another player it's not bad at all. You just won't get to the final boss
If you like rogue type games (I can never remember lite/like):
Moonlighter was very good, that is an easy pickup IMO especially for $5.
Children of Morta- a bit harder, the demo will give you quite a bit of play time and this sale convinced me to upgrade to the full game
Does anyone know if any of these would be good for a first grader at a beginner reading level?
Lego City Undercover is good, all of my kids play it (6-13). It's a fairly easy story mode but they like to just drive around in cars, chasing/racing reach other kind of like a kids friendly Lego version of GTA

I agree. Excellent game.
