Games

When covid had everyone working from home and avoiding social contact, I started my gaming journey with Firewatch and The Long Dark, and Factorio. All are excellent. Alien Isolation and The Forest came later.

Minecraft, stardew, factorio or satisfactory are good ideas. Fortnite's lego mode. Dragonquest Builders 2.

For stuck inside though and I've been there nothing beats those big open world games. Maybe Cyberpunk or BG3 or Yazuka or Fallout or Elder Scrolls are my personal faves but anything where you get to be the boss of the world like those are so fun when you can't roam or socialize much.

Mine loves Cook Serve Delicious and Stardew Valley. Also Starbound and Terraria.

Open Roller Coaster Tycoon!

My wife loves House Flipper. It's very much about organising, it sounds like it would fit well for her.

Play some old classics like Mario, they are a lot fo fun to play together! I'd say she'd be better off with a controller, K+M is tricky to get used to when you have never used it to game before.

My girlfriend likes jrpg games.. I think you could try thoses... There are plenty. Final fantasy etc. Can play with an emulator.

Otherwise she loves Tetris! Playing against her is a ton of fun.

Doki Doki litterature club (visual novels that is kind of funny, I played it with my girlfriend)

Spyro the Dragon (my sister just play this and the Sims lol)

btw there's a big Stardew update planned for this year, might be worth waiting before starting a new game

Terraria!! Easy to understand mechanics, building, controller support or mouse and keyboard and can be run on anything

Fall guys has been great and getting anybody at least slightly interested in playing

Visual novels are an option.

Wilmot's Warehouse!

It's an organizing game & you're a little guy! (:

Xonotic, minecraft

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

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.

Stray is an awesome game that’s easy to learn, fun, and really beautiful. Makes for a great starter game

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.

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.

We were here series. Coop puzzle game

Any of the overcooked style games like tools up.

Maybe some raft coop.

i played civ 6 with a non-gamer partner and it was pretty fun

Wuppo

Lost in Play

Machinarium

1001 Spikes

Kingdom

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

League of Legends

Rimworld. It's like the sims, but with war crimes.
