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.
I would suggest the Zero Escape series (999, Virtue’s Last Reward, Zero Escape), Danganronpa, and Escape Room Simulator.
The first two are similar to Pheonix Wright and the last one is just plain fun
Sweet, I’m wishlisting all of these! If you have a favorite you’d recommend I pick out first let me know. Thanks!
I would recommend playing the Zero Escape series in order. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to the Professor Layton scale twists and turns.
