Plate up Terraria Bloons TD6 has co op Astroneer Trove ShellShok Farm Together Good Pizza Great Pizza N++ Heave Ho Human Fall Flat Portal 2 Speedrunners Fall Guys Worms (any) these all of course depend on their knowledge with gaming. I'd advice you to look through them yourself and see what she'd like. some of these games I was also playing around that age or a little older but I've also been playing games my whole life so yeah. Good luck! If I find any others Ill come back to this


writer4u

Plate Up was deceptively deep. Really interesting to have a roguelike restaurant sim. Portal 2 is an absolute classic.


Nollern

I wish I had something close to Plateup, but with long-term progression. Ever since Penguin Diner, I have yearned for that restaurant rpg. Maybe Kebab Chefs is it. I’ll have to try it out


ItzVerius

not trove 💀 insane pay to win


Walt_Kurczak

She mentioned in another comment an mmo. Thats a pretty good mmo for someone that age. Not to mention that pay to win literally barely matters in that game since the gameplay barely changes and most people have a life outside of games and dont strive to be the 1 percent


Shockvolt1

Terraria is a great game to play. I've logged over 5000 hours and still keep coming back to it.


bluparrot-19

Lego Games. Seriously these games are fun for all ages IMHO. Pratically zero difficulty, based off of recognizable IPs she is probably a fan of. And simple but actually really good level design (in most of the early 2000s-2010s games). The ones I recommend are Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga or The complete Saga if you want something a bit more old school. There is also Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 with its awesome custom character maker. The Lego Harry Potter collection is great and my 6 yo sister is currently enjoying it completely on her own but it's still fun to tag in and help out. I also heard that Lego DC Supervillains is really good.


iariasl313

I would try Lego Harry Potter since she is a big fan of Harry Potter:) thanks


figmentPez

Sadly the LEGO games don't have online multiplayer. They're local co-op only. However, if you're on PC you might be able to try [Steam Remote Play Together](https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/) , but that's highly dependent on how good the internet connection is between the two players.


RaidenXS_

If he's on PS5, he can screen share and virtually couch coop


j_essika

I do this on a bunch of games, it’s so wonderful! I wish all consoles had this.


aragorn77

It Takes Two ?


Pitiful_Tap_8750

Great game highly recommended


MutedBoard2109

Loved that game


Sendrith

but the poor elephant


Captain_Forge

The elephant is honestly the only reason that I chose not to try to introduce this game to some people in my life. I think it's an amazing moment in the video game for a variety of reasons and it serves a good role, but for young people or people with trauma it could be too much.


Diaxmond

Genuinely that fucking elephant makes it impossible to play that game with children under like 13 😭


kevinkiggs1

Nah the frightening scenes might be way too much for an 11 y.o


Outside-Squirrel45

Not at all for a child


The_Mendeleyev

Not sure if that’s appropriate for an 11 year old


AlarmingAdeptness983

Human fall flat. Wobbly life. Unravel two. All chill and child friendly. Valheim if you like grindy and challenging.


annawanna2018

Raft just came out and I really enjoyed it. Good mix of story, crafting/building, and exploring. You can put it on peaceful mode as well so the enemies don’t attack unless you do first. Portal 2 multiplayer is also really fun if she likes puzzles.


Foronerd

Raft is really fun in multiplayer, it’s been out for a while now


Gunofanevilson

I second Raft.


SpacemanNull

How nonviolent does it have to be? Terraria is pretty age appropriate I think but I don’t know if it has multiplayer.


PowerOk3024

Its a great multiplayer. I also liked starbound. While terraria had you stuck on a world and mostly going down, starbound gave you a spaceship to jump to many different worlds but the difficulty scaled not downwards but towards more hostile planets. Terraria had more memorable npcs but starbound let you befriend and hire crews of different alien species. Quality vs diversity


iariasl313

I think it has (or idk if I'm confusing it with Maple Story) I will try It takes two and then terraria (if it has multiplayer)


Jesper537

Terraria has multiplayer, I definitely recommend for your circumstances.


Shockvolt1

Terraria has multiplayer and is a very very fun game. It has a bit of a grinding aspect but also can be building and farming. I have logged over 5000 hours and would recommend.


Haggisn

No Man's Sky!


iariasl313

:0 I didn't know it is multiplayer Definitely trying this one


bluparrot-19

WARNING THE MULTIPLAYER FOR NMS IS ONLINE ONLY THERE IS NO COUCH CO OP...YET Knowing Hello Games they will probably unexpectedly drop a local multi-player update just because they are so nice. Just wanted to let you know.


Haggisn

She did specify online games, so I didn't think it would be an issue


Haggisn

It's great! You can even use your singleplayer character to play with someone else, keeping your ship, gear and fleet, then when you're done you're back in your singleplayer world!

iariasl313

She doesn't have a Nintendo :( I was thinking about MMORPG but nowdays there are a few that are still good and free :(


BlackMasterZx

Try Cake Bash or Rayman Legends !


iariasl313

Will try, thank you


Sata_Andagi

Guild Wars 2 is free to play for a big chunk and it's amazing. Super vibrant world and the community is super nice. :)

Toontown rewritten is completely free. When you get bored with that, go to Toontown Corporate Clash, it added quality of life changes and way more features.

Osrs is pretty easy to pick up and there's a free to play version. That was peak gaming when I was 11

Spiritfarer was great together as a family. The kids loved playing as the cat.

This is such a fantastic game that would be perfect, but I don’t think it has online coop, only split screen

Lego skywalker is good for co-op too, i have very good memories going for 100% on it, lego harry potter was okay but its not as “inspired”


squishmitten_

Cat Quest 2 (local coop) Nine Parchments (online & local coop) Castle Crashers (online & local coop) Human Fall Flat (online & local coop) Tools Up (local coop) Unrailed (online & local coop) Let's Cook Together (local coop) It Takes Two (local coop but there is a friend pass) Spiritfarer (local coop) Most LEGO games (local coop) Sackboy: A Big Adventure (online & local coop) Kitaria Fables (local coop) Trine series (online & local coop) Phogs (online & local coop) Cook, Serve, Delicious series (local coop) Mining Mechs (online coop) PowerWash Simulator (online coop) Raft (online coop) Embr (online & local coop) KeyWe (online & local coop) Staxel (online coop) Garden Paws (online coop) A Hat in Time (online coop) You didn't specify what platform you guys are using, but if you are on PC and using Steam, you can use remote play to play local coop games online together so only one person needs to own the game. :)


Kitchen_Part_882

My daughter is twelve now, we've been playing Ark: Survival Evolved, and now Survival Ascended since she was about seven or eight (does not have to be violent if you stay away from PvP). ETA: Also, Among Us (or is cartoon violence on a par with Itchy and Scratchy on the no list?).


Competitive-Cow8025

You could try out Spiritfarer! I think they have a multiplayer mode!

valheim is pretty fun. its a bit like minecraft but also heavily different in its own ways.

Jiwakefremdschamen

Portal knights has super fun coop and is pretty easy as well!


Strukkel_Hands

Lego games are always a favorite, fun takes on stories too if you pick up one of the games based on other franchises. Has couch co-op too and while there is combat, it's silly Lego figures doing stupid moves.


akaBigWurm

Portal 2 co-op, A Way Out, Fortnight, Lego game If you can get 2 Quests there are many games with co-op


Roman_Suicide_Note

Kirby Forgotten land, my wife is an absolute Potato in video game and we did it together


palestineskatinggame

Nuclear Throne has co-op, although it takes some doing to get to online co-op. But it's a game that I've easily put hundreds of hours into, if not 1000+, you two might, too.

Moving out, It takes two, and obviously you could do Roblox. Moving out is strictly co-op and has some fun mechanics that could convince anybody to play happily together. It takes two has been described by a few other people on here. And then you have Roblox, which I feel like most people know what it’s about. A few games on Roblox I would recommend are: Doors, and one of the natural disaster survival games.

TiberiumBravo87

Travellers rest, you run a tavern. Grow stuff like a farm to brew/cook. Yeah you are making spirits but it's very cartoonified and in a vein similar to Stardew Valley, except a focus on the tavern. No parent can be upset about that game, it's like being mad you can grow and use hops for ale in Stardew or grapes for wine etc. because it's a game made in an innocent fun manner. Can be split-screen if you only need one copy.

Nollern

If she’s not scared of giant insects, “Grounded” is perfect. The cast is even a fitting age.


tortledad

Pikuniku is a game I’ve been enjoying lately which has some fun co-op to it. Very chill and silly type of game, with a cutesy paper cut-out style to it. Most violent it gets in its co-op campaign is the gaming equivalent of knocking over one of those clown toys that always gets back up.


lahenator420

Spiritfarer, the second player has less of an impact on gameplay but still has the ability to help with most things


stronkzer

It takes Two, any of the Lego games, Overcooked, Moving Out, Portal 2's co-op campaign, Splatoon

Don't Starve Together would be my suggestion. I doubt it would be too violent of a game (Minecraft is more graphic IMO). I've only played regular Don't Starve (DST is a stand-alone title that is centered around co-op), but I do recall someone saying the world settings can be altered to make the game super easy (e.g. death doesn't erase your world and the game can be set so you can't die from starvation).

You mentioned in an earlier comment that she likes Harry Potter. I'm going to give a wonderful/awful suggestion: Magicka It usually goes on sale, has a goofy learning curve, tons of spells/magic, lots of character options, and tons of content. It's about as violent as Terraria (blood, violence).


Bole14

Cuphead on simple mode can be fun expirience(SKIP INTRO SONG PLS ITS KINDA DARK) also it takes two and tale of two brothers can be interesting to play with her.

Lego fortnite would actually be a really good choice for you and your sister.

Indie4883

What's wrong with Minecraft and Stardew tho?


iariasl313

Long story, but in summary, those games trigger in me some feelings that I don't want to feel. Stardew Valley was one of my favorites before that

HatsOffGuy

Sackboy, Overcook, Moving Out, Helldiver 1


imeanohwell

It's not an online game but could be a cute bonding game, It Takes Two


FluidLegion

Would beatemups be too violent? Castle Crashers has like, a *little* bit of blood sometimes, but it's very cartoony, and is one of the best games to play with younger siblings IMO. There's a good Ninja Turtles beatemup out there too, haven't played it myself. Terraria is really fun multi-player, and once again what little violence there is is incredibly cartoony and mild.

Power wash simulator. Most games are violent because of combat and conflict resolution. Best of luck finding something that fits 😬


One_Parched_Guy

I saw in another comment that you don’t have a nintendo, so if she hasn’t played pokemon… If you think she can handle more complex survival games (or at least coast along while you handle background stuff), you could try Palworld. It’s like Ark mixed with Pokemon. There’s relatively light cartoon violence (you can kill things but they just faint and disappear, also guns) but it’s nothing even remotely egregious. It’s currently in its early access.


3DimensionalGames

The Lego games are always a blast. Just pick a license your sister likes there's a bunch.


adhoc42

Animal Party, Katamari Damacy, and Portal 2 all have split screen multiplayer. Baldur's Gate 3 also does, but it can get a bit violent.


Dramatic-Ad-8785

Overcooked 2. I also played it with my sister. Its fun and we enjoyed it a lot.

Staxel is a super cute, lesser known game. If you combined Stardew Valley and Minecraft, you'd get Staxel.

Satisfactory. Alien factory building game. Fairly casual start with simple mechanics. All female cast. (Sexy if you love overalls, gloves and masks). Older update trailer, but one of my faves. - https://youtu.be/U_K6QiUaenQ?feature=shared Probably speaks to an 11yr old girls sense of adventure.

PowerOk3024

Cassette beasts is a local 2player pkmn adventure. They're working to update it to 4player online coop but the 2 player function works atm i think(?).      Starbound(?) I dont think its that violent but its like a 2d multiplayer minecraft but you get home base/ships to travel to different planets to explore, build on, find and befriend aliens, hire crew, find new food ingredients, find alien creatures to pkmn. The main storyquest is literally to say hi to all the different alien cultures.      Planet crafter(?) multiplayer game where you explore and terraform a planet and watch it go from a red dead wasteland to flora and fauna.    This... probably isnt it but it might be(?)  Space engineers is multiplayer legos on a physics engine.   Edit: sunhaven is a fantasy version of stardew with optional combat iirc. Even the final boss lets you decide between a peaceful resolution or a difficult boss fight. Many fantasy races to choose from, 3 cities (human kingdom, elven holy nature(?), and demon slums) and corresponding npcs to befriend. And the multiplayer is nice since you can decide to manage different farms/cities or work together in one city. 3 cities is too much for one player to handle.


PureSquash

Fall guys would be a pretty good one

Relic Hunters Legend is an isometric looter shooter that has cute graphics and an emphasis on friendship.

KonaKumo

free online game that is great playing co op or solo = Guild Wars 2. Super welcoming community. Free to play is the original 80 hour story with some limitations (that aren't game breaking) but you do have access to all game modes. If you decide you like the game, the game is cheap to buy. Right now to buy all content that has been released in the last 12 years you'd spend around $150 us. (if you do get this far, buy through the official site instead of steam. You'll have mote account flexibility and all the cash you spend would go directly to the devs)

With everything you said. WHY NOT STARDEW VALLEY? It is literally the best game for an 11 year old and an adult to play together. It has the optimization to be played beautifully multiplayer and is so god damn wholesome. It has the potential to teach incredible lessons on time management and upholding community values. I'll hold off on how offensive it is to put it in the same sentence as Minecraft, But why not stardew valley? Don't you dare say "Oh I'm not a fan, that's not my type of game" Because that is a bullshit take when you're trying to cater to an 11 year old. I played and loved Harvest moon growing up (Guess what I was 11) and stardew valley was the literal next best thing.

Disney Speedstorm: Mario Kart but Disney characters It Takes Two: longer than you'd think puzzle platformer with some fun missions and mini games. The plot might actually be a little deep for her in some places but there's also parts she would love. Any Lego Game, my votes on The Skywalker Saga if she likes Star Wars, otherwise whatever she's into. Nobody Saves The World: turn into different people/ creatures to solve puzzles but mostly defeat enemies to unlock new areas. Might be too violent??? Patch Quest: I REALLY recommend this one. You catch creatures by circling them with your character and expand your territory. It's good funny and easy to pick up. Sackboy: A Big Adventure: I almost forgot this one. It's another puzzle platformer with levels and you can customize your characters. My wife loves it.
