I recently finished The Last of Us 2. My girlfriend sometimes watches me play my games. And while I thought that TLoU would be a great game to follow, it was hard for her to watch (due to the violence). I wonder if there is a game that would be easy or even interesting for her to watch while I play, without it having to be something strictly "family friendly" , that also has fun gaming mechanics and isn't just a walking simulator. Looking forward to any ideas! :)

I liked Firewatch a lot, but it basically is a walking simulator

It had me intrigued at first but it didn't really lead anywhere. Overrated game with pretty dated graphics imho

I played it back when it first released and loved the graphics, I think it's still generally agreed to be a beautiful game to my knowledge.

The only bit I was underwealmed by was the ending, but they'd also write something with grounded intrigue, which is a difficult thing to pull off without having a cynical ending of "of you thought this was gonna be exciting? This is real buddy", which wasn't really what firewatch was evoking.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
