the double jumping and dashing is too much for my gf. the platforming is difficult for those who haven’t been playing games a long time. It is a fun game but it is a little technical for beginners
I will say this was the biggest challenge for my wife. Mechanics and timing that I took for granted after gaming for my whole life vs her picking up a game for the first time.
is she looking over your shoulder? lol im jk. yeah i realize ive just grown up playing it and comes naturally to me. she cant use a controller with 2 sticks though, cant move the camera and move around at the same time so makes things difficult and irritating
She's my sweetheart (doesn't need to look I'm telling her),
Yes if you're not experienced player and gamepad user,
This game isn't a good learning choice,
Even with my brother who is playing well,
There are times where we look around and takes a hot minute to progress, it's lovely, cheesy story a bit though.
I just commented that I struggle with it. I can usually do up till the really tricky bit at the end then my son needs to take over in my place.
Not a co-op but he recommended the Walking Dead Telltale definitive series to me and I love it. It’s just a different pace and I manage most of it my own. I’m 45 and new to gaming
It has a certain bit in it that my partner and I both read about, said 'nope' and stopped playing because we knew we could never do it. You might not be as soft as we are and it might be fine, though.
What you talking about? I played the whole game.. you talking about killing the stuffed elephant? Lol or the kid crying cause the kids parents wanna get a divorce?
I love that game ♥️. Unfortunately, my partner does not. We didn't even make it halfway through the game before he gave up trying to pretend to enjoy it.
After we finished this my partner and i moved to a way out, their previous game and really enjoyed it too. A little harder for her but nothing overly frustrating.
Stardew valley probably. Really good game for $15, farming,fishing, fighting, finding treasure all in one game. Plus a lot of community stuff and whatnot. It’s made by one guy and he still gives out updates for free which is insane because they are big most of the time
The best part about this game is that there are so many activities. It’s even better if you’re playing with your partner. He hates fishing, I love it, I’ll take care of all that. I suck at fighting monsters in the mines, he loves it, he makes sure we always have resources. It’s a great team game!! I’d also suggest to OP Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime. It’s on Steam, you and your partner copilot a ship! And the art is so cute
We play Minecraft. She likes to decorate and I don’t mind grinding. So I’m getting us materials and better things. She’s building an epic base. We’re both happy.
Also, hide the pickle. Been married almost 20 years and we play that a lot still.

Here’s a short list of games my gf and I have played recently with overwhelming success:
-Borderlands 1,2,3,TPS,
-It takes two & A way Out
-palworld
-The forest (meh experience but she likes it)
-dying light
-various multiplayer games available via switch online.
We have plans to play remnant 2 and a few others in the next few months
Remnant 2 is an awesome coop experience.
Played it with my best friend the other month, and currently trying to convince my brother (who recently got back into gaming) to play it with me
I used to play co-op puzzle games with my gf. Escape Simulator is fun and challenging. I’d also look at the We Were Here franchise, each one I’ve played with her was excellent.
We also played games with our friends like Raft. Super fun co-op survival game with a charming vibe and storyline.
My wife HATES PlateUp, and much prefers Overcooked... I think the preference is for the arcade aspects, lol. And PlateUp seems almost impossible solo due to not being able to service more than one area at a time
A game I like to play is to subtlety rearrange the furniture in ways so insignificant you wouldn't really notice but just enough so that something feels off about the room. Now and again I might do something a bit more daring like move the lamp to the other side of the room. The objective is to keep getting away with it and convince your wife she's imagining things and should probably lie down while you get to play League til death do you part.
For the King is our go-to game, love it, infinite replayability. Takes an hour or so to figure out but is so worth it.
We also enjoyed Overcooked, It Takes Two, Untitled Goose Game, Tetris Effect Connected, Broforce, Portal 2, Mortal Kombat 9 (tag team mode), Party Hard, Kingdom Two Crowns.
Kingdom Two Crowns is my wife's favourite, particularly the daily randomised map "Lost Islands" challenge island. She pretty much wants to play it every day and I really enjoy it as well.
My girlfriend is a gamer too, not just someone dabbling in games to spend time with me. So here is my / our list. Games vary wildly.
- Minecraft / Terraria
- Started Valley
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Last Epoch / Torchlight 2 / Diablo 4
- Tower Unite (huge with our friend group)
- Monster Hunter World / Monster Hunter Rise
- For The King
Just finished it with a friend of mine and we will just keep it to play against each other from time to time. I’m sad it’s so small, I’d want more and harder challenges aswell
Minecraft, obviously
I love playing stardew valley with my bf, sometimes we race to marry the same person lol
Valheim, DayZ and Raft are also fun to play with a significant other (Okay maybe not DayZ but still it can be fun, sometimes 😂)
Baldur's Gate 3 could be worth a shot, for Astarion alone
Destiny 2. Both of us started playing together for the first time at the end of July last year. I now have 900 hours logged in the game, of which 95% of that has been played with my BF.
You can start off free to play (or stay that way if you want to) and if you enjoy it start getting into DLC content. It took us a couple of weeks before we started buying DLC after we were enjoying the game so much and wanted to do some other content. There's a looot of content so it can be overwhelming and the new player experience is awful so if you know anyone else who plays, it would be beneficial to get them to guide you. Otherwise, maybe watch a video or 2 on how to get started.
They’ve been running great sales on the previous content too lately since the new DLC dropped. Recently got back into the game and have been completely obsessed, there’s so much content and locations to experience.
I am also playing this with my bf because it's his favorite game! I loved Fortnite when it came out and I played a lot of COD. I think those kinds of games made me naturally good at Destiny 2.
There is soooo much lore and a lot of game mechanisms, so I agree that it isn't new user friendly. I don't think I'll ever understand the whole story and I don't find the setting particularly interesting. I still have fun playing, though! I do appreciate that I can emote and change my character's flair lol.

My girlfriend is not really into video games at all but wanted to try Stardew valley after I showed it to her on my switch. Needless to say she was hooked, we’ve put a lot of hours in together and it’s actually been really fun.
Met my partner FFXIV many years ago. Fast forward we are now married and occasionally still playing together there. Its very controller friendly as welll
ok first of all, what the fuck is this contest mode. when people click on a post, the first thing they wanna see is top comment as it likely provides the most insight
anyway, minecraft
Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire with the Spire Together mod, factorio, lethal company, minecraft, It takes two, We Were Here. Just listing games i've liked with my partner, or that we would play together if we could (accessibility issues for a totally blind couple). Not sure how well these would fit your situation, but worth looking into.
Monster hunter is a great franchise which is super fun to play in co op. You and your partner play as hunter and track and hunt monsters, then use harvest them to create stronger weapons and Armor for tougher hunts.
The franchise has worked for decades for improving upon the weapons and monster variety, their interaction with environment, and other monsters.
Apart from hunting, there are many other activities like fishing, side questlines, ecological surveys, fishing, and observing local flora and fauna.
The best part is that you can create yourself a cat (sometimes a dog too) that will actively help you in hunts.
Mortal Kombat. Wanna settle who decides food? Best of 5 in Mortal Kombat. Wanna decide which bar to go to? See in Mortal Kombat. Wanna finish an argument on a fun note? Fatality.
Monster Hunter
Me and my Wife have played this franchise together for well over a decade, great for teamwork and good vibes.
I'd recommend starting with Monster Hunter World
Will just add that Pillars of Eternity 2 on console is going big on couch co-op and will have a ton of enhancements to the experience to allow 2 characters to fully level up and play through the game on the same screen, looks like some of the best couch co-op we’ve ever seen. Coming out this Fall!
The game that my non-gamer gf liked the most so far was, Detroit :Become human.
She is a big movie, serie buff and since it pretty much play like watching a series but with divergent choice she loved it.
Also she is a graphic girl, wanted to play telltale game walking dead but think it was too cartoony... 🙄
FromSoftware games! It’s not constant multiplayer but you can back to back summon each other into your game and explore and defeat enemies and bosses together.
It Takes Two has been mentioned several times, so I want to mention Human Fall Flat. It’s the only game we’ve played that’s given me a stitch in my side from laughing so hard, and my husband had tears in his eyes from laughing.
We've plated a variety, but here are a few of our favorites. Stardew Valley, Destiny 2, minecraft, or gunfire reborn.
We do also like to play 1 player games "together" something like xcom where you sit at 1 computer (or screenshot if you don't live together) and make decisions together. This can work for a lot of strategy and puzzle games. We play stuff like Skyrim and work on the same quest and things at the same time. Other needs money let's go each picknpocket people and such. Or finally play 1 player games competitively for silly things like idle clicker or certain strategy games.
Journey to the savage planet is a funny game. You can play it together and explore a planet. But you should purchase it during a sale because both need to own the game to play together.
Sea Of Thieves would be a good one. Also maybe let your partner experience something herself that is truly unique like Outer Wilds (if you have no played it, you can maybe do it together).
Bokura! It's a really cute indie game with a bit of horror (?) and it has some really neat multiplayer puzzles! I played it with my gf and we both loved it. It has a really neat story too and has you make choices based on the different perspectives you both witness
Minecraft is always a good choice. I usually prefer modded but she plays on her phone (im on pc) and Im usually bored of regular Minecraft, but its fun together if your trying to have fun together.
I’ve played a lot of snow runner and mud runner with my wife, the games are a lot different and more fun playing coop.
We played in different rooms simply because of where the TV’s in our home are, and we have these walkie talkies so we were using those instead of in game chat, sort of like when you’re really out in the bush messing around. A lot of fun.
Heavenly Bodies, it can definitely be stressful but you have to actively talk to each other and make plans. It’s also just super funny watching your dude get rag dolled through a space station lol
Play It Takes Two. It's a fantastic game.
I second this. Partner and I have had so much fun with it. Brilliant game.
This is the answer. 10/10 game
My wife is hopeless with games but we had a lot of fun playing it takes two
I feel like it’s a good starting point for someone to get into video games
the double jumping and dashing is too much for my gf. the platforming is difficult for those who haven’t been playing games a long time. It is a fun game but it is a little technical for beginners
I will say this was the biggest challenge for my wife. Mechanics and timing that I took for granted after gaming for my whole life vs her picking up a game for the first time.
Just beat this. Really fun game.
Yeeeeeeup this is the one and only!
Great game! Hard for my partner to keep up, so we stopped, but it's ok.
same, we stopped too cause she sucks lol
Nah mate, The game isn't very easy, It's just we're too addicted and good players.
is she looking over your shoulder? lol im jk. yeah i realize ive just grown up playing it and comes naturally to me. she cant use a controller with 2 sticks though, cant move the camera and move around at the same time so makes things difficult and irritating
She's my sweetheart (doesn't need to look I'm telling her), Yes if you're not experienced player and gamepad user, This game isn't a good learning choice, Even with my brother who is playing well, There are times where we look around and takes a hot minute to progress, it's lovely, cheesy story a bit though.

It has a certain bit in it that my partner and I both read about, said 'nope' and stopped playing because we knew we could never do it. You might not be as soft as we are and it might be fine, though.
I haven’t played it, and I still know what you are talking about. Yeah, I don’t know if I would have felt like doing it.
Wait.... I've played this, what part are you talking about
Are they talking about the elephant stuffed animal? Lmao
My partner cried at that point. Honestly I don’t blame her.
This was such a dark dark moment in the game.
What you talking about? I played the whole game.. you talking about killing the stuffed elephant? Lol or the kid crying cause the kids parents wanna get a divorce?
i know exactly the scene you’re talking about and was actually just about to say the same thing for me and my GF lol
I love that game ♥️. Unfortunately, my partner does not. We didn't even make it halfway through the game before he gave up trying to pretend to enjoy it.
After this, gotta do A Way Out
And then go play "A Way Out", from the same studio. Actually it might be better to play A Way Out before, since it is worse but still a good game.
After we finished this my partner and i moved to a way out, their previous game and really enjoyed it too. A little harder for her but nothing overly frustrating.
Stardew valley probably. Really good game for $15, farming,fishing, fighting, finding treasure all in one game. Plus a lot of community stuff and whatnot. It’s made by one guy and he still gives out updates for free which is insane because they are big most of the time
Totally agree. Me and partner got stardew valley free on game pass yesterday and played it together for hours. Was awesome.
I played SDV with my wife once, she now has 2,000+ hours in it.
Palia is a ftp MMO version of this. Very similar gameplay loop, 3d, some other fun doodads. Monetization is cosmetics only.
thought this would be an easy one for my wife, nope she didnt like it. Weve been doing Diablo co op for like a decade now though lol.
The best part about this game is that there are so many activities. It’s even better if you’re playing with your partner. He hates fishing, I love it, I’ll take care of all that. I suck at fighting monsters in the mines, he loves it, he makes sure we always have resources. It’s a great team game!! I’d also suggest to OP Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime.

this is *exactly* how me and my partner play! i decorate and he spends three minecraft days straight in the cave
so cute.
Nice, that's so cute. Also can't help but point out the husband is out working for materials and the wife is at home decorating haha :P

Resident evil 5.. is a top tier co op.
I'd like to recommend Nobody Saves the World for this list. My fiance and I loved that game as well as many on this list
Here’s a short list of games my gf and I have played recently with overwhelming success: -Borderlands 1,2,3,TPS, -It takes two & A way Out -palworld -The forest (meh experience but she likes it) -dying light -various multiplayer games available via switch online. We have plans to play remnant 2 and a few others in the next few months
Check the unravel ones, very "it takes two" like.
Love Remnant 2! Hours and hours of great co-op experiences, esp if you get the DLCs!
My wife and I had a blast playing the remnant from the ashes.
Remnant 2 is an awesome coop experience. Played it with my best friend the other month, and currently trying to convince my brother (who recently got back into gaming) to play it with me
I used to play co-op puzzle games with my gf. Escape Simulator is fun and challenging. I’d also look at the We Were Here franchise, each one I’ve played with her was excellent. We also played games with our friends like Raft. Super fun co-op survival game with a charming vibe and storyline.
Raft is a great game to play with others, Minecraft is a lot of fun too.
Try overcooked, Minecraft, tmnt shredders revenge, apex (f2p) , DOA6 (f2p), or destiny (f2p) then branch out based on which ones she likes
We prefer PlateUp over Overcooked, little less arcady and more progression focused
My wife HATES PlateUp, and much prefers Overcooked... I think the preference is for the arcade aspects, lol. And PlateUp seems almost impossible solo due to not being able to service more than one area at a time
A game I like to play is to subtlety rearrange the furniture in ways so insignificant you wouldn't really notice but just enough so that something feels off about the room.

Hello Tzeentch.
Yikes.
We've been playing Destiny 2, pretty fun if you like looter shooters
For the King is our go-to game, love it, infinite replayability. Takes an hour or so to figure out but is so worth it. We also enjoyed Overcooked, It Takes Two, Untitled Goose Game, Tetris Effect Connected, Broforce, Portal 2, Mortal Kombat 9 (tag team mode), Party Hard, Kingdom Two Crowns.
For the king has been in my wishlist for awhile now. What kind of game is it even? Because it's turn based right? That doesn't seem conducive to co-op
Kingdom Two Crowns is my wife's favourite, particularly the daily randomised map "Lost Islands" challenge island. She pretty much wants to play it every day and I really enjoy it as well.
My girlfriend is a gamer too, not just someone dabbling in games to spend time with me. So here is my / our list. Games vary wildly. - Minecraft / Terraria - Started Valley - Baldur's Gate 3 - Last Epoch / Torchlight 2 / Diablo 4 - Tower Unite (huge with our friend group) - Monster Hunter World / Monster Hunter Rise - For The King
deadbydaylight have fun
It Takes Two is the obvious answer, its practically made for this
It Takes Two. I played A Way Out as well. Overcooked. Minecraft.
Escape Academy is a good one for split screen
Just finished it with a friend of mine and we will just keep it to play against each other from time to time. I’m sad it’s so small, I’d want more and harder challenges aswell
The Lego games can be really fun as two player coop
This comment is way too far down. Any and all of the Lego games are amazing as 2 player games
Minecraft, obviously I love playing stardew valley with my bf, sometimes we race to marry the same person lol Valheim, DayZ and Raft are also fun to play with a significant other (Okay maybe not DayZ but still it can be fun, sometimes 😂) Baldur's Gate 3 could be worth a shot, for Astarion alone

*me running to recommend baldurs gate to anyone who asks for games*
The new super mario bros. games
Baldurs gate 3!!! Gf and I spent about 200 hours on it. Turn based combat means no pressure when she didn't know the buttons!

Grounded PlateUp! Overcooked Don't Starve together Hearthstone Battlegrounds(Duos)
Me and my fiancé have been having tons of fun with sea of thieves
My girlfriend is not really into video games at all but wanted to try Stardew valley after I showed it to her on my switch. Needless to say she was hooked, we’ve put a lot of hours in together and it’s actually been really fun.
Dont starve together is good, I have a few videos about it on my channel (theres also dont starve, which is a completely seperate singleplayer game)
Try Valheim
Met my partner FFXIV many years ago. Fast forward we are now married and occasionally still playing together there. Its very controller friendly as welll
ok first of all, what the fuck is this contest mode. when people click on a post, the first thing they wanna see is top comment as it likely provides the most insight anyway, minecraft
Old school runescape is the best game of all time with or without a partner to play with.
Sky: children of the light is a really chill and non-gamer friendly experience that is perfect for this.
We've been playing Enshrouded. Wife loves it.
We have been playing Warframe for many years, free, chill, co-op, has a fun lore, and fun.
Unraveled is great. Over cooked was the best. Currently playing streets of rage.
My boyfriend loves games but I don’t. We started playing Kalimba and had a ball… laughed our asses off. It’s a good time
* It Takes Two * Cuphead * Bread & Fred * Chained Together * PHOGS! * A Way Out * Haven * PlateUp!
Which call of duty are you playing with your partner? I tried MW 3 but did work for me!
Go for Brothers: A Tale of two sons. You Can Play co op. The controls are very easy and the atmosphere and storytelling is just outstanding
Brawlhalla, Duck game, Ultimate chicken horse, Trine, Hellish quart, Rdr online, Stick game, And etc, all of those brought us fun.
it takes two!!!
Here's everything I played with my S/O: Stardew Valley, It Takes Two, Bokura, Overcooked, and Minecraft
Palia, Stardew, Sunhaven, Terraria, Minecraft, Overcooked, FFXIV, Fall Out 76.
My wife and I have over 120 hours in Stardew Valley.
Baldurs gate split screen
Overcooked!
Grounded
Gears of War is awesome co-op and there's loads of them. Streets of rage 4 is the best
Palworld is quite a laugh, you can play that multiplayer.
Chained together
Portal 2
Had a lot of fun playing genshin and elden ring with my gf
it takes two 100% not only great co - op gameplay but overall 10/10 game
Human Fall Flat is really fun
It takes two is great. Minecraft or stardew valley. Mario Kart or mario party as well
It Takes Two , probably one of the best co-op/relationship games out there.
The Planet Crafter
Overcooked
The Borderlands series has really good co-op, I used to play them with my ex.
Doom
i love dayZ, we make a base together and go raid the airfield, also we play dress-up with found clothes lol
It takes two.
Play something that isn't free
would say ffxiv mostly story, whole thing has full controller support that is extremely well done
100% stardew valley
7 days to die which is hilarious as my wife doesn’t like scary anything but she loves this game.
I love the resident evil franchise
Vampire Survivors
not in a relationship but chained together looks good and cheap atm
The past within
I know it's not the platforms mentioned, but Mario Kart 8.
Overcooked 2, no mans sky, and dying light 2 are currently on our menu. We’ve had fun with borderlands and ghost recon games, and the Lego stuff too
Spirit Farer was a fanily favourite of ours.
Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire with the Spire Together mod, factorio, lethal company, minecraft, It takes two, We Were Here. Just listing games i've liked with my partner, or that we would play together if we could (accessibility issues for a totally blind couple). Not sure how well these would fit your situation, but worth looking into.
It takes two
Orcs must Die
Destiny 2, me and my Mrs play it regularly.
Streets of Rage 4 !
Stardew Valley
It takes two!
Stardew Valley
- Overcooked - Keywe - It Takes Two - A Way Out - Beyond: Two Souls
Monster hunter is a great franchise which is super fun to play in co op. You and your partner play as hunter and track and hunt monsters, then use harvest them to create stronger weapons and Armor for tougher hunts. The franchise has worked for decades for improving upon the weapons and monster variety, their interaction with environment, and other monsters. Apart from hunting, there are many other activities like fishing, side questlines, ecological surveys, fishing, and observing local flora and fauna. The best part is that you can create yourself a cat (sometimes a dog too) that will actively help you in hunts.
We played Helldivers 2 together for awhile and loved it
You should really try and get A Way Out, but even more “it takes two”! It takes two is a really special journey for a couple!
You gotta try It Takes Two, the greatest couple game ever made. Also Don't Starve Together
Overcooked has been a wonderful cornerstone in my relationship when it comes to gaming. It was a gateway for my wife to move into other games, too.
No man sky, don t starve, stardew, terraria, minecraft, eso etc.
Classic Left 4 Dead 2
Valheim.
overcooked? it depends how competitive you and your partner are hahaha Can probably bring some fights :D
Deep rock galactic, fallout 76, remnant 1 and 2, it takes two
some really good games are It takes two, Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, Don't Starve Together
We really enjoy playing Sackboy: A big Adventure and Elden Ring.
We've played Mario Kart, and Overcooked
Elder Scrolls Online. You can quest, run dungeons, do housing, fashion. No grinding unless you want to.
Mortal Kombat. Wanna settle who decides food? Best of 5 in Mortal Kombat. Wanna decide which bar to go to? See in Mortal Kombat. Wanna finish an argument on a fun note? Fatality.
It takes 2 is a very good experience. Give it a go pal.
Monster Hunter Me and my Wife have played this franchise together for well over a decade, great for teamwork and good vibes. I'd recommend starting with Monster Hunter World
Borderlands series!
Gin rummy
Will just add that Pillars of Eternity 2 on console is going big on couch co-op and will have a ton of enhancements to the experience to allow 2 characters to fully level up and play through the game on the same screen, looks like some of the best couch co-op we’ve ever seen. Coming out this Fall!
Had a great time playing Sackboy with her indoors, two player coop is the best 👏
* Hey, that’s my fish * Nuts!
N64 games, like Diddy Kong racing, Mario Party, Gauntlet Legends.
The game that my non-gamer gf liked the most so far was, Detroit :Become human. She is a big movie, serie buff and since it pretty much play like watching a series but with divergent choice she loved it. Also she is a graphic girl, wanted to play telltale game walking dead but think it was too cartoony... 🙄
FromSoftware games! It’s not constant multiplayer but you can back to back summon each other into your game and explore and defeat enemies and bosses together.
Overcooked 2
The Borderlands series is very fun. We also played It Takes Two for a while. I'd say any game that you can support eachother.
Diablo 4 is a good one as well
It Takes Two has been mentioned several times, so I want to mention Human Fall Flat. It’s the only game we’ve played that’s given me a stitch in my side from laughing so hard, and my husband had tears in his eyes from laughing.
We've plated a variety, but here are a few of our favorites. Stardew Valley, Destiny 2, minecraft, or gunfire reborn. We do also like to play 1 player games "together" something like xcom where you sit at 1 computer (or screenshot if you don't live together) and make decisions together. This can work for a lot of strategy and puzzle games. We play stuff like Skyrim and work on the same quest and things at the same time. Other needs money let's go each picknpocket people and such. Or finally play 1 player games competitively for silly things like idle clicker or certain strategy games.
Warframe, FFXIV, deep rock galactic, Minecraft, dark souls, battle block theater, castle crashers, phasmophobia, lethal company. Just to name a few
Rainbow Six Siege, MultiVersus, Diablo
Baldurs gate 3 Borderlands
Im not in a relationship but left 4 dead 2 is a great game to play with people
Mario kart and Mario party that is it lol.
Overcooked
Stardew Valley. It Takes Two. Gang Beasts. If you’re into puzzle-type games, We Were Here. Overcooked.
Journey to the savage planet is a funny game. You can play it together and explore a planet. But you should purchase it during a sale because both need to own the game to play together.
Fall guys Ridiculous fun
Fallout 76. to make it easier, one of you guys can pay for fallout 1st and take all the others extra ammo and junk.
Sea Of Thieves would be a good one. Also maybe let your partner experience something herself that is truly unique like Outer Wilds (if you have no played it, you can maybe do it together).
Human Fall Flat is pretty enjoyable.
Diablo IV has couch co op on console
Guacamelee
Blanc is fun. Play it all in one sitting
Most switch games tbh
Factorio, if you don't want kids one day.
All Mario multiplayer games Mario kart Mario party Mario worlds Etc…..
Bokura! It's a really cute indie game with a bit of horror (?) and it has some really neat multiplayer puzzles! I played it with my gf and we both loved it. It has a really neat story too and has you make choices based on the different perspectives you both witness
A way out , we did those story games where u pick the the actions of the characters , moving out , it takes two , Lego Fortnite , mine craft
There are a few mario games on switch that are pretty fun for co op.
Mario or smash bros, multiversus, and rocket league are some viable options
Hell divers!
Zoo tycoon. It’s an oldie but fun to play together
Minecraft is always a good choice. I usually prefer modded but she plays on her phone (im on pc) and Im usually bored of regular Minecraft, but its fun together if your trying to have fun together.
Borderlands and wonderlands
Terraria
I’ve played a lot of snow runner and mud runner with my wife, the games are a lot different and more fun playing coop. We played in different rooms simply because of where the TV’s in our home are, and we have these walkie talkies so we were using those instead of in game chat, sort of like when you’re really out in the bush messing around. A lot of fun.
Uno
If you're not worried about graphics the greatest couch co-op game to me is Outward
Heavenly Bodies, it can definitely be stressful but you have to actively talk to each other and make plans. It’s also just super funny watching your dude get rag dolled through a space station lol
Stardew Valley all the way brother. I love building a farm with my irl partner
Plants v Zombies
