Honestly the coop play on Lego PC games is pretty good if you can get over them being cartooney. You have lots to pick from too, so maybe your partner has movies they’re a fan of that are represented in Lego games.

Yup, seconding this. The gameplay is simple enough for a first time gamer and they’re funny. Lego Skywalker Saga and Lego Harry Potter were a blast, and we picked up Lego Voyagers but haven’t played it yet.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds. The bots are plenty tough on the hardest difficulty. But you can make them easy too.

The title made me think you were looking for stuff like QWOP.

I haven’t played it in a while (a decade, even), so I may be mistaken, but I know of Ghost 1.0.

(it’s definitely not “modern” though)

mrfriki,

Yes, it looks promising, and it doesn’t looks that old. Thank you!

Noita and good old Soldat come to mind

theskyisfalling,

Was gonna say Noita, great game but unforgiving as fuck!

mrfriki,

Oh, i didn’t realize Noita had mouse aiming and it has been in my wishlist forever. Also love the tiny characters of Soldat. Many thanks!

Way back I played a bit of A.R.E.S: Extinction Agenda (store.steampowered.com/…/ARES_Extinction_Agenda/) - it’s a bit of a score attack game, but controls pretty similarly to Abuse.

If purely multiplayer game is your thing, Teeworlds (store.steampowered.com/app/380840/Teeworlds/ , teeworlds.com) controls just like Abuse. It’s about cure orb-shaped creatures duking it out. It’s free, btw.

mrfriki,

Definitely looks like was i looking for, will be checking it, thanks!

Oh, also: Rochard - if you can get it anywhere, it is pretty dope. It’s a bit of a mix of action & puzzle platformer but with Abuse-like controls. It was pulled from steam years ago, dunno if it’s available on consoles still.

brsrklf,

I’ve played it long ago. Doesn’t it end on a cliffhanger of sort? Or am I confusing it with something else?

I kinda remember being annoyed with the state the plot was left in.

Malix,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

honestly, can’t remember the plot at all, it’s been about 3 eternities since I’ve played it. I do recall liking the gameplay tho. :P

mrfriki,

Oh, it seems that is delisted on Steam. Will try to find it elsewhere. Thanks!

Portal 2 has great puzzles for two players, but the timing can be frustrating

defuse959, (edited )

Portal 2 was my first thought as well. It can also work as a good litmus test for how they will respond to FPS controls. You can try kb/m or controller and see what feels natural. My partner (we found playing left4dead after portal) is an inverted controller person. Which was wild to me considering they worked in a heavy clerical field and really took to building keyboard with me. Yet, no kb/m for gaming. After that switch , they were able to enjoy co-op 1st person stuff a lot easier.

After portal we played borderlands 2 together. It’s low pressure most of the time and can be a background activity while you talk and hang out. The story is kinda cheesy but it’s fun to share the inside jokes with someone and bonded us in an unexpected way.

Hopefully those work for you!

Edit: it takes two and split fiction are really fantastic coop experiences as well. But, it take two should probably have a small warning for emotional content. Split fiction is a ton of fun but does get kinda difficult for less seasoned players. I found it endearing helping through those sections, but it could be harder for others. There are some moments that we both audibly wowed at though! That made the difficulty worth it.

Me and my husband play this on emulator

Sas, (edited ) do games w PC game recommendation for my partner and I

I really enjoyed We Were Here with a good friend. It’s a coop escape room like puzzle game where you’ll play in different rooms but your puzzles interact with the other room and you’ll have to communicate and work the two rooms together to solve it

Blubber28,

The sequels are also very nice!

mugthol,

The Past within has a similar concept and is also great!

ZombieBait,

Tick Tock:A Tale for Two is also a similar idea, but doesn’t require first person navigation.

Something you might want to consider is that often boardgames nowadays have an electronic equivalent. Case in point, my best mate and myself recently played The Dresden Files over Steam.

I haven’t seen anyone say Enshrouded yet. Im hosting a server on wine/linux for my group. Its like Valheim but with more direction like a quest log and lore and etc. Lots of good reccs on the thread already too.

I’m in a similar situation with my wife not being particularly interested in games - I’ve had some success in playing LA Noire with her guiding the investigations and interrogations. The jazz soundtrack in particular helped convince her, funnily enough!

Not quite perhaps what you’re looking for, but may work for others with hesitant non-gamer partners.

I know its kinda crazy for me to.suggest this, but hear me out:

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition runs nearly perfectly in emulators on pretty modest hardware. Its not very difficult, but has a Games Journalist level Easy mode as well if thats needed. Its a Musou/Warriors game, so its basically mindless button mashing with the flavor of Zelda.

Its a splitscreen game, so you only have to have it set up on one machine. The game has a story mode and a bunch of challenge modes as well to keep things interesting. Wide range of upgradeable charaacters with different weapons that change up their playstyles. And a lot of unlockable costumes.

Downsides:

  • Nintendo
  • Have to use a controller (not a downside to me, but for sosme it is)
  • Getting the game can be a little challenging if you don’t know where to look
  • Setting up the emulator can also be challenging if you don’t know where to get the important parts
  • Can get stale after really long sessions of play

Upsides:

  • No account or extra launcher required, boot the emulator and play the game
  • Most emulators have decent to great Linux compatibility
  • Fully offline - no randos joining or server outages when internet drops
  • Only two players can play, meaning nobody else can join after your partner, and Player 1 controls when Player 2 joins

The only issue could be if you aren’t using a Nintendo controller, the buttons won’t match up, but there might be a mod for that. I know there are input mods for other games.
