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.

If you like puzzle games, you might try a game that's not technically multiplayer but that the two of you can work on solving together, which is what my wife and I do. Good candidates for that are Case/Rise of the Golden Idol, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and we're currently playing Blue Prince.

Baba Is You belongs to the same category. One of my favorite puzzles.

I have Baba Is You! It's a brilliant game, love it to pieces, but it's not a good fit for my SO. She'd lose interest very fast, looking for something more chill and casual.

Blue Prince is definitely something I've been considering but I'm unsure if she'd enjoy games that are just puzzles. Pretty sure Lorelei is just too thinky for her to enjoy.

Definitely looking into more chill games to blow off some steam.

I'd say check out Case of the Golden Idol on a deep sale to test the waters. Lorelei is definitely hard mode if you're not sure if this is something you'd want, but we found that having two people to approach solving the puzzles helped a lot.
