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.

Broaden your horizons, start using emulators.

Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Super Mario Wonder

Any of the Warriors games (just don't buy it, don't reward them for releasing the same damn game 20+ times)

Legend of Mana (highly recommended, please don't sleep on this)

Destroy All Humans 2

Ratchet: Deadlocked

Divinity: Original Sin

Resident Evil 6

Halo: Master Chief Collection

Lego Star Wars

The Tales games are long and go up to 4 players. I'd recommend them if you have more people to join.

Be prepared for a few roadbumps while you acclimate yourself to using emulators. It won't be smooth at first, but it gets easier the more familiar you become with it.

I get what you're saying. I do have RetroDeck fully set up but I only use for old games that I do physically own. Most of them haven't aged very well and aren't of any interest to my SO.

I have enough disposable money that I'd rather support "new" games/developers rather than emulating titles for other consoles.
