Sorta requires another account… technically… .Minecraft. IDK, maybe hytale would fill that niche. There’s also some FOSS options like luanti that would be nearly indistinguishable.
Left4Dead2
Portal 2
No Man’s Sky
Some lesser known stuff:
Core Keeper
Dungeon Defenders
RoboQuest
Valheim
Category suggestion: Kart racing. There are no shortage of brands of that… sonic just came out with a new one and there’s a couple really good sonic kart racers already out there that are on steam and console. Played a lot of sonic and all stars racing transformed with my wife and we had fun… it goes super cheap on sales and has remote play together so you’d only need one copy for both of you… isthereanydeal.com/game/…/history/#price-chart:ov… , mario kart, etc.
es-de is a really nice front end you can have in steam for couch coop emulation, I hear.
Grabbing it for a fiver is like a no brainer if you get into the style of game. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a sale when the patch comes out to promote it.
It’s really hard to suggest games without knowing what you guys normally would play. You mention puzzle games. There are a ton of two player puzzle games that you play head to head which might be fun, but it isn’t coop exactly. I highly recommend super puzzle fighter ii turbo. It’s available thru emulation and I think maybe on steam via that capcom arcade thing. There are lots of games that fit into that category if it ends up appealing.
If you have access to any of the games mentioned… maybe just have her try some of them and see what clicks. I know with my wife she wasn’t really a “gamer” at first… and I just let her loose on my steam games and a few that she would have never considered before became favorites like half-life, portal, l4d2. Most of the valve stuff holds up really well and makes for good primers into FPS style gaming. We also got really into coop minecraft and dungeon defenders so hundreds of coop hours have been dumped into those. I’d pick a bunch of genre styles (fps, puzzle, survival, etc) and just show her some gameplay videos if she’s reticent to play them sight unseen… see if anything sparks her interest. Then pick out some of the more well regarded titles from them to dive into. There are definitely classics that are considered classics for a reason.
As for roboquest… I’ve enjoyed that one. The dev kept putting out content patches so it’s gotten a bunch of content dumped into it. Fun solo and coop. I personally love the pop art comic style. The progression is rogueLITE… so you’re slowly building up new stuff in your hub as you play, which makes for a nicer experience, IMHO. They even have a free demo on steam if you wanna try it out while you wait for a sale.
I don’t have specific games to recommend because there are many of many genres. I’d instead suggest to make trying out cooperative games as an experience for you both. The fun will be in exploring them on your own. Or the frustration. He he.
Fuck yeah space funeral. One minute you’re being jumpscared by dramatic Charles Baudelaire readings and then chatting up Dracula in the next. It fucking rules
For story driven ones i liked To the Moon, that others have mentioned, Finding Paradise, OneShot, and The coffin of andy and leyley (which is still ongoing). Some that have combat but are still focused on a story are Omori, and End roll. Almost all games where you go eventually go into someone’s mind, i’m noticing now.
Challenges in action games are worth completing most of the time because they’re typically designed to either drive home the intended purpose of individual combat mechanics, or outright reveal mechanics too advanced to cover by basic tutorials—e.g. dodge counter in Hi-Fi Rush.
Any “no death” achievements/challenges in souls-like games. I don’t see a point in struggling for weeks/months just for a small badge on my account.
On the other hand, 100%'ing certain games like Stardew Valley is definitely worth it. I won’t spoil what happens, but just know that it is worth doing.
I’ve come close to getting all the capsule toys in Shenmue but in the end it was a lot if reloading saves and eventually I gave up. I barley finish any games so doing extra challenges is even rarer for me :/
