Yo! Let's get down to business! I've got a massive fish on the line and need to reel it in before it's too late!
On Black Friday I picked up an extra Xbox One controller due to necessity and hanging onto the sliver of hope that my wife, whom I've been married to for two months and been with for six years, may one day pick up this other controller and participate in some form of gaming with me. She has never been largely into gaming and has only played a video game with me maybe four or five times within the last six years we've known each other. She doesn't have any problem with me having gaming as a hobby and I love her all the same regardless of her lack of interest.
However… upon the arrival of the second controller I made another pass at her suggesting that we play a game. To my surprise she agreed even without knowing which game I was referencing. I hustled to my Xbox and purchased Overcooked based off of what I had seen on the Giant Bomb videos and mentally prepared myself for another failure in peaking her interest. To my great surprise when we played she became almost instantly hooked and his sense suggested every night that we play again. We recently moved into our first home together so I am assuming there is something stuck in the paint that has her acting strangely even though I'm pretty sure a house built in 1998 does not have any remnants of asbestos or lead.
Having said all this I feel like I am ready to introduce her to more games that she may enjoy. This is where I turn to the Giant Bomb community and all of its wisdom. My question is what games do you feel that she would also enjoy? Her pedigree of gaming is that of a late 20-year-old who enjoyed dabbling in video games as a child but never took the interest with them into adulthood.
I'm thinking a type of couch co-op with simple controls and mechanics would fit best. I have and Xbox One available and possibly a very mild graphic intensive game that can be run on a laptop with an integrated graphics card.
Go ahead and hit me with your best answers!
TLDR; I got a second Xbox One controller, played a couch co-op game with my wife who has zero interest in video games, she loved it, what are some other games I can play with her?
