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!

It Takes Two would be my introduction for a partner who doesn't game very much. Co-op, easy to play, fun in a really low stakes way with a great story. I had tons of fun with the game playing with an ex.

Raft is another I played with an ex that was a lot of fun. It's a very chill co-op survival game where you build up your boat.

I tried It Takes Two with my SO, and they hated it because of the need to control the camera - so we went to 2d platformers after that.

I finished It Takes Two with my sister, small warning: the game is mostly feel good at the beginning, but in the end you're gonna have to do some horrible things.
I didn't mind - I've done a lot worse in other games where I didn't have to - but she did not enjoy these parts of the game.
