Hey everyone! Despite my efforts, my fiancé really doesn’t get into video games much. Mechanical skill limitations frustrate her, and sometimes her attention span for games isn’t high when she could read a book or watch a show, I want to try a new tactic to see if it works: games where she can be a “backseat driver.”

I’m mainly thinking of story focused games that aren’t reliant on mechanical skill and where having a second person watching can meaningfully contribute.

Some games I’ve thought of are the Phoenix Wright games, and Return of the Obra Dinn. Does anyone else have suggestions for games I could try to play with her?

Steamdeck verified games preferred, so I can play while docked to our TV.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed playing Life is Strange together like this. I think we both enjoyed the setting and characters quite a bit (high school in the Pacific Northwest). We tried Life is strange 2, but never really got into it.

And episode 1 is currently free on Steam!

Also tried to like Life is Strange 2 and 3, but really couldn't. Have you tried Before The Storm? It's really great as well!

I'll have to give before the storm a try! That's disappointing to hear that the third one was also a let down.

It probably wasn't bad on its own, but it doesn't have the feel of 1 or BtS, which is what I was after.
