They're gonna break up if they play overcooked xD
Take a look at Apico pixel game all about beekeeping (is more akin to Stardew in how much the is to do however). Fantastic game
My wife loves House Flipper. It's very much about organising, it sounds like it would fit well for her.
We were here series. Coop puzzle game
Any of the overcooked style games like tools up.
Maybe some raft coop.
Escape from Tarkov
Playing EFT is like being in an abusive relationship with Marie Kondo. If that idea rocks her boat, ...
Amnesia.
Xonotic, minecraft
Maybe she would like to learn programming or Linux stuff?
i played civ 6 with a non-gamer partner and it was pretty fun
If you think she might like a 3D platformer that's also one of the best ever licensed property videogames, give SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom a try. The original was the first videogame I think I ever finished, and I thought the remastered version from a few years ago is very well made.
Also this game is how I got my girlfriend to start playing videogames
A short hike. It's like a super short cosy version of breath of the world's platforming/exploration
Seconded. Nice and chill, with just a touch of coming-of-age parents-aren't-invincible melancholy.
Using A Short Hike as a jumping off point and following the growing-pains and melancholy threads while maintaining the explore-and-talk aspects, I'd like to recommend Night in the Woods.
Hummm easy games. I think it depends of their tastes and what they like to do.
I can think of a few games which might be fun, but perhaps she should watch some lets plays to see if it peaks her interest.
Lil Guardsman is a fun game my SO showed me recently.
Stardew Vally
Potion/crafting games are something else, Potionomics might be fun.
Oh point and clicks might be fun too, but I can think of anything outside of Grim Fandango or Monkey Island
Animal Crossing is always relaxing
My SO and I played Persona 5 together too, I played the game while she was my navigatior who made conversation choices.
Return to Grace! It's a short AWESOME sci-fi adventure in FPS perspective but no fights, no hard puzzles, the controls are very well explained and quite basic.
btw there's a big Stardew update planned for this year, might be worth waiting before starting a new game
Phogs
LocoRoco
It's the only game I've got my wife to play that she enjoyed. It's cute with simple controls. But there's enough there to keep her entertained for awhile.
Stray is an awesome game that’s easy to learn, fun, and really beautiful. Makes for a great starter game
If she would like to get in to more action games, one with a strong story, like the last of us could be a pathway, played on easy/story mode.
Id also second casual games as a pathway to more involved games. Overcooked is white hectic and introduced a few gaming mechanics from others. It's essentially crafting against a timer. To progress, she'll need to get better at controls, but the learning curve is gradual enough that she'll.have fun.
Rayman (legends?), I play coop with my kid. He dies often ,but it's not an issue as you only lose progress when you both die.
Open Roller Coaster Tycoon!
Rimworld. It's like the sims, but with war crimes.
League of Legends
