My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard I was thinking starting simple.

I can’t think of anything else than Factorio, as she likes organizing/keeping track of stuff.

Would you recommend against that or have anything better in mind? Let me know!

    When first starting out, I think relaxed games that help a player get used to left and right directions (side-scrolling or platform) and timing on the controls is a good start. Then evolve into camera and movement based controls.

    My suggestions are starting with these:

    My Brother Rabbit

    The Between Gardens

    Dawn (may have some camera control, but this is the most relaxing game I’ve played for that)

    Then move on to these:

    La Rana

    The Room Series

    Aim Labs or any shooting game that has tutorials/ practice mode (for FPS practice)

    These games are found on steam. Note, most of these are casual/puzzle based.

    I don’t have much experience with co-op, so can’t help you there. But I do like the suggestions so far based on reviews.
