Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? (lemm.ee)

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! :)

Anything story heavy would be good because then for her it's like watching a movie. Like spiderman, uncharted, god of war, telltale games etc., I would stray away from most RPGs though even though they are story driven but there's usually a lot of fluff gameplay where you're just grinding which wouldn't be very fun to watch.

This. Basically anything that you could watch "as a movie" on YouTube that doesn't have excessive filler in between

My Dad really liked the Uncharted series. It'd be great for OP if his girlfriend doesn't mind some violence. TLoU is a bit high on the graphic stuff

I think how they portray the violence in uncharted games is very different to how bleak it's shown in TLOU though. The tone is overall very cheery and Indiana Jones-esque.

Definitely! It wasn't clear if the goal was closer to "no violence" or "less graphic violence" though

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.
