Shes not much of a gamer at all, but I guess shes curious.

Dream girl right there. What should I play with her? Ive got an Xbox and a switch. I feel like showing her Breath of the Wild is a must, but idk what else to play with her. Mario Kart is an obvious choice for a beginner gamer, but it seems pretty hard to jump into gaming as a grown adult whos never really gamed.

I love animal crossing but I dont see it as a super exciting game for a new gamer lol. Mario and Spyro in general are good ideas tho. Ive never played katamari and arent much of a fighting game guy.

Im thinking of showing her something like Ori though. Beautiful game and soundtrack, with simple enough gameplay

Ill never forget when my now wife hopped in a tank on Sandtrap in Halo 3 and got a 47 killstreak. She wasnt new to the game but we were all very impressed she didnt buckle under the pressure. This was back when we were all micd up and playing as a team(myself, my wife, Dave, Yaway and Amy).

We had some good times back then. Now my wife only plays Mortal Kombat/Injustice, Steep and Cuphead.

Animal crossing is the perfect game for a new gamer, especially a girl gamer

hahahaha thats amazing. Ive always thought having a girlfriend who was into gaming would be great. Especially if they were into online mp games. My friends and I have been halo nuts since the beginning, and still play.

couch co op would be the way to go IMO. Ive never heard of a way out, but Ill check it out. I know shes played Among Us and she likes that, but thats hardly a video game

Start with something isometric or 2D, but cute. Manipulating a camera in 3D is hard for people who have never played games. Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening, Pikimin. Shit like that.

You gotta think about all the knowledge we as gamers take for granted, like X or A is jump in 99% of games. Someone who's never touched a game won't know that kind of stuff.

Instead of A Way Out, I'd suggest that dev's other game, It Takes Two. I've seen multiple people say they've played it with their non-gaming partner and both loved it. A Way Out has segments where you're competing against the other player and it has plenty of failure states. When you die in It Takes Two, you just do a little button-mashing QTE and come back.

As a bonus, It Takes Two has lots of segments where it parodies other genres of games. So there's one where it turns into a 2D fighting game for a bit, another where it's an isometric RPG, that kind of thing. So it can act as a mild primer for other games you might want to try playing.

Ya agreed. Using two joysticks at once is really hard for gaming noobs. Moving and changing the camera at the same time is t something we dont even have to think about really.

I've not played It Takes Two, but I've heard good stuff about it. That said, from what I understand it's about a failed relationship, which could make things awkward between TC and his gf lol

This. And show her no mercy. Make it your personal mission to make sure she never lands a single hit on you. She'll love video games after that.

Serious answer: Play It Takes Two. Cute co-op game where the characters are a husband and wife working through their problems while working together.

heres the first video. Hes got a playlist of 8 of them on his channel. Its an intriguing look into your girlfriends mind most likely. Main takeaway is do not do an RPG outside of like Pokmon, they take too long to get going to be any good for her.
