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!

      Yes. Very much worth trying. My wife and myself have about a hundred hours in our coop save.

      Stardew valley can be super annoying due to the sleeping mechanic and having to be on time with the planting of things.

      I’ve found terraria to be less stressful and had more success with it

        Yeah, totally no stress fighting the moonlord or any of the bosses…

        Terraria is fun, but doubt a non-gamer will be able to jump right in and understand the fiddly build, mine and jump mechanics. They’ll get overwhelmed.
