Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) (lemmy.world)

My SO and I have been having a lot of fun playing co-op games on the Steam Deck connected to the TV. We recently finished Split Fiction and I'm looking for the next cool experience to try out. We enjoy casual co-op games, nothing too hard or violent. EDIT: pixel art is apparently a big turnoff for her so that's out as well.

Games We Enjoyed:

  • Split Fiction
  • It takes two
  • Untitled Goose Game

Games that flopped:

  • Stardew Valley - She is open to "farming" games but doesn't enjoy the energy management aspect of the game. It also gave her motion sickness, somehow
  • Overcooked / Moving out - We enjoy these games but as they start to get more chaotic and hard, the enjoyment goes way down
  • Ibb & Obb - A bit dull and samey
  • Portal - Gives me serious motion sickness, completely unplayable
  • Lego Lord of the Rings - I'm a lord of the rings fan but I hated the gameplay for this game, I found it to be so boring. We quit after an hour or so.

Me and the wife played a few coop games.

  • DERU - The Art of Cooperation is a pretty puzzle game that is satisfying, not too difficult nor does it overstay its welcome.
  • We also enjoyed the snake-esque puzzler OmoTomO. Only on itch, not Steam, so you have to install it via the desktop mode. When you're willing to dig a bit itch grants you some shiny gold nuggets for cheap.
  • In Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime you have to run around a spaceship to operate the different parts (engine, guns, shield). More straightforward than it sounds, and the pacing is such that you're not rushed but do get some tense moments.
  • Almost forgot Pode which is a very cute 3rd person puzzle adventure game.

Some games recommended by other people in the thread that we can corroborate

  • Trine series is good platforming fun with pretty graphics and dialog that is a little on the nose sometimes.
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns is good for a few hours at least, can't say I cared about beating it because the levels just keep coming with only minor variations. Definitely a unique blend of tower defense and base building.

Personally I agree on Overcooked, once the novelty wears off it gets a bit frustrating because of the difficulty. Its still fun in groups though.
