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.

Death road to Canada is pretty solid.

Spelunkey 2 is fantastic, albeit incredibly challenging.

I think the combat portion of the game would be a big turnoff for her. I do own the game so it doesn't cost anything to try it.

A few options me and my partner have enjoyed:

Bunhouse - a non-management-heavy farming simulator but you are bunnies growing plants. Cute as hell. There is a sequel where you run a bakery too but we haven't got round to that just yet.

Unrailed - might fall into the overcooked catagory, but when it gets hard and goes wrong it tends to be a looming inevitablity, not a frantic panic

Nidhogg - a 1v1 fighter, but is quick fire frantic sword fights you can button bash through which is wildly entertaining in 5 min bursts.

The Cinnabunny sequel looks so adorable. Lots of animal crossing vibes. Definitely wishlisting that!

One of my favorite games to play with my SO is Out of Space the vibe is very similar to Overcooked but it's procedurally generated and a lot more chilled out, i.e. less chaos.

If you enjoy escape rooms try out Escape Academy, haven't seen anyone mention it but it's really a blast!

The cult of the lamb

I really like the Life Is Strange series for “playing together” with my wife.

It’s not multiplayer, but it’s like watching a movie and making choices for the characters along the way.

Would be great if you updated this post with new games you enjoyed 😊

Degrees of Seperation - 2D puzzler with wonderful scenes and visuals

Heavenly Bodies - 2D puzzler about astronauts and 0 gravity environments

Unrailed - isometric 3D. A train starts driving and you need to gather resources and build tracks etc.

Wobbly Life - 3D fun game, no real objective, just many quests and activities throughout the world
