My SO and I have been having a lot of fun playing co-op games on the Steam Deck connected to the TV. We recently finished Split Fiction and I'm looking for the next cool experience to try out. We enjoy casual co-op games, nothing too hard or violent. EDIT: pixel art is apparently a big turnoff for her so that's out as well.

Games We Enjoyed:

Split Fiction
It takes two
Untitled Goose Game

Games that flopped:

Stardew Valley - She is open to "farming" games but doesn't enjoy the energy management aspect of the game. It also gave her motion sickness, somehow
Overcooked / Moving out - We enjoy these games but as they start to get more chaotic and hard, the enjoyment goes way down
Ibb & Obb - A bit dull and samey
Portal - Gives me serious motion sickness, completely unplayable
Lego Lord of the Rings - I'm a lord of the rings fan but I hated the gameplay for this game, I found it to be so boring. We quit after an hour or so.

Phogs

This one caught my eye as well. Split Fiction had a small section that played very similarly to this game, don't want to spoil too much. It was fun, but I'm unsure if I want a full game about it.

Cassette Beasts

This one looks good for me heh :P

Sea of Stars

This one has been on my wishlist forever now, the mixed reviews have been turning me off. I'm not sure if these classic RPG games are her thing but we should try and figure it out.

Children of Morta

This one fell flat for me. I don't know why, I didn't connect with the game.
