Hello!

I'm looking for game suggestions to play with my girlfriend. Feel free to ask questions and maybe figure out what to with this 7iifY before replying. Maybe you will get more ideas while adding a 1 to 7.

So I'm a gamer. Pro gamer, hehe. I have played wide variety of games and I catch on pretty quickly. I have completed all Dark Souls games, I have build vast empires and conquered world in Civilization, I have beaten Cuphead and I have reached high ranks in CSGO and created competitive decks in Magic. My gf has played Minecraft. She isn't competitive, but she is creative. What can we have in between where we can both enjoy time together?
Some examples: We really enjoyed Stardew Valley. She was more responsible about doing quests and decorating our house, while I brought in the money by watering plants every day and planning what to plant when. We both enjoyed our roles.
Then we also played Overcooked 2! Although she was very happy and overjoyed when we did get 3stars on levels, it did also result in a lot of confusion and hopelessness when we didn't. We figured that timed challenges isn't something fun for her.
She really enjoyed Portal Knights. She felt like in her field. Mining and building and collecting materials. For me - it was super boring. Enemies are so goddamn easy to beat even if you are heavily underleveled and underequipped. For her enemies however were a challenge. I started liking the boss fights, but she constantly died while I chipped away the health, so again I felt kinda bad for carrying.
We played The Battle of Polytopia. I thought it was easy to get into and you could win if you got a good start. It is a minimalistic 4X game essentially, but even though I was at war with everyone and she chose the map (I randomly picked civilization that was unsuitable for map), I still came out overwhelmingly strong.
We played Don't Starve Together. We didn't enjoy constantly having to look up wikipedia, just because there are so many items and materials.

Please give suggestions.

Weird that yesterday's CTRL-ALT-DEL's comic was about co-op-ing with a loved one (I sent this to my wife). He mentions "It Takes Two" as well.

Puzzle games - you will need each others to resolve them:

  • Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
  • LARA CROFT AND THE TEMPLE OF OSIRIS™
  • Portal 2
  • Trine 1,2,3,4 (be careful to the 4, the final boss is extremely hard and frustrating in coop, easy in solo)
  • Unravel Two

Platformer games:

  • Rayman® Origins
  • Rayman® Legends

Adventure games:

  • Lego games (personally, LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game was one of my favorite)
  • Magicka
  • Magicka 2

Party game:

  • Tricky Towers (but maybe it's too much competitive for her?)

A Way Out is fantastic, but it has more serious tones. I absolutely loved the game, one of my favourite two-player experiences of all time. It's amazing from both a game design standpoint and a cinematographic standpoint too. Very much recommend.

It Takes Two is made by the same people as 'A Way Out', and is more lighthearted... most of the time. Some of the parts do get quite deep, and the undertone of the story is quite serious. But it is so so so good. Both games are currently on sale. I very much recommend both of these games.

Think of them as story-driven two-player puzzle games. They are only playable in splitscreen, and it may fee wierd at first. But trust me, stick through with it. it is worth it.

I will give this a bump as there is reward for those who read the OP.
