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.

The steam deck status is unfortunately unsupported. Otherwise it would be a great fit.

In case you're comfortable trying a couple things out it does work for some on steam deck. ProtonDB link

Tinkering is fine, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

A Way Out is marked as "Playable" by Valve, mainly because of Origin (or EA App nowadays?) and some quirks with the controls. Should play just fine though and once in-game controllers should be well supported.

Hm. I was able to play it without issue on my Linux computer.

I don't see a reason why the Steam Deck would be unable to play it or have any issues that I didn't.

If buying it is a concern (which it should be), you can always torrent it.
