Mountain
From that list, Ori is definitely the one to go with. Truly amazing game.

Ori is incredible, definitely in my top 3 of 2015. Glad the new definitive edition has an easy mode so it's more accessible (which applies perfectly to my circumstances)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ori and the Blind Forest is just awesome. The music and environment is spectacular :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure how easy the Definitive edition is, but I played the original one (and I agree that it's totally awesome) , but I'm not sure if this is the right kind of game for a new "gamer". If you haven't played any Jump & Runs before or anything it can be really frustrating at some points.
If you want to get her into gaming you should probably start with something easier :D

Depends what your girlfriends like, there are a ton of coop games that are great, i was just playing gauntlet with a friend and we had a blast
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it? Isn't really my type of game so I haven't played much
Comment has been collapsed.
I think so, because it doesn't tell you what to do and you have to find it out yourself. Which is fine, buut I think it could be confusing for someone new to games.
I didn't have much trouble with it in the beginning, or atleast I don't remember but I have spent a lot of time researching it, haha. But I saw a lot of people being very confused, so I'd say it's risky game to give someone as like "first game".
Comment has been collapsed.
To properly get through the game you need to check the wiki a LOT. You don't just find out most stuff. Like how to go hardmode.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just saw your response here after I left my comment. It makes sense for you to think about it like newcomer to gaming, there's tons of better titles to start with but it depends a lot on the person. If she starts and finds crafting / survival interesting, she might get addicted to it and want to find out & research things. If there's little to no interest, it won't happen and most likely not in the future too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, exactly. I was thinking, that if I was her and I didn't like it and it was my first game, maybe I would leave gaming alone. Atleast for a little bit of time. But then again, she doesn't sound like she would do this if she had a great time playing coop.

Excuse me? Are you saying girls are too dumb for complicated games (even though I wouldn't rate Terraria as such)?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they mean it's too complicated for people who are new to gaming
Comment has been collapsed.
yes they explained themselves afterwards, it just sounded so insulting at first lol
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to insult you, or anyone else.
I haven't thought about the sentence a lot, so it didn't occur to me it could be taken badly. And, as a girl, I totally didn't to sound like I did. Well, this is why you should re-read what you wrote and think about it for a second. Or two, especially if it's not your native language.
Sorry again!
Should have said it earlier, but you know, thinking about it. :'D
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed, I've had to use the wiki so many times to find the items I needed to craft the accessories/weapons I needed to have a fighting chance against some of the tougher bosses.
Comment has been collapsed.
In the whole the game is complex but I guess it's a nice game to start in survival/crafting games. The thing is the game has a lot of content.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bwhahah! that's awesome. Palmela Anderson and Handgelina Jolie!
Comment has been collapsed.
She might actually just like or love to watch you do something you like rather than liking gaming itself. Mind=blown
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought that as well but then I played local co-op games with her and she was just ecstatic
Comment has been collapsed.
,,,which is still, yknow, an activity shared with you :P
I've known plenty of gamers that only enjoyed games when they were played with others [and while I'm a pretty hardcore gamer overall, I definitely have a co-op preference myself].
Still, certainly no harm it getting her to try new things :D
Comment has been collapsed.
In this case I can give you a list of games with co-op to try (might be a bit long):
Blades of Time
Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel
Dragon Ball Xenoverse
The First Templar
How to Survive 1 and 2
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing games
Killing Floor 1 and 2
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Orcs Must Die! games
R.I.P.D. The Game (this one has quite negative reviews since it's just a plain generic 3rd person shooter)
Resident Evil 5 and 6 and Revelations 1 and 2
Saints Row 3 and 4
Sanctum 2
Scourge: Outbreak
Sniper Elite 3 (I've never personally tried the co-op so I don't know how good it is)
Torchlight 2
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and 3, Call of Duty World at War (I think only these 3 CoDs have an actually interesting co-op with only World at War having campain co-op)
Deadfall Adventures
F.E.A.R. 3 (I've never tried it)
White Noise Online (kind of bad but still could be enjoyable)
Serious Sam games
Sven Co-op
Dying Light
Dead Space 3 (I heard it had co-op)
Zombie Army Trilogy
Left 4 Dead 1 or 2
ARK Survival Evolved
Gang Beasts
Victor Vran
Hunted: The Demon's Forge
Hope any of this will be useful to you or maybe others looking for co-op games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, I've played Torchlight with my bf (we love hack&slash) so we also tried Van Helsing and he really wants to try Orcs Must Die, I don't mind, it's fun game afterall. Here are also few games that I've played by myself so I didn't want to play it just with my boyfriend so now we're playing Divinity Original Sin and maybe Grim Dawn next? If we get bored of either of games probably play for a season in Diablo III, then some other game then Diablo...

I love to play P&C, Quests, or Videonovels with my gf.
Comment has been collapsed.
Would like to try this one. On a side note the trailer reminds me of the movie City of God xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Guess it depends how you define gaming. She very stereotypically plays mostly candy crush and the likes on her phone. On the odd occation I can get her to play simple racing games like Asphalt. I bought two copies of TESO for us to play together but she only spent about half an hour in that game because it was to complicated to just move around.
Comment has been collapsed.
My girlfriend would probably not play any games from your list, excepted maybe Ori. She likes story driven games and survival horror. The Last of Us and Telltale The Walking Dead are her all-time favorites, she also likes the Silent Hill series and Bioshock. To relax, she really likes zombie hack-and-slash such as Dead Island. But she's a huge horror movies freak.

Portal 2! Got both Single Player and CO-OP, lots of teamworking :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ooh yeah, the original Portal too. It's a game I've often shown to 'people who don't play games'.
Comment has been collapsed.
That one too, haha. I've actually never played the first one, but maybe one day! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I would also recommend Portal 2. Not super easy (but that has nothing to do with gaming, more with puzzling), but a lot of fun in co-op and great humor!

I've been eyeing ibb & obb for this purpose but... I'm not sure I'd be that in to it :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe Trine, or Never Alone or something like that? If you say she's not into dark stuff. Or Barbie Dreamhouse Party. -_-
Comment has been collapsed.
Botanicula.
Never alone.
The Tiny Bang Story.
The Sims.
I've tried to play these games with my gf but she said that she gets too impatient playing games. She only liked The Sims.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh yes! Botanicula is the right choise! It is sooooo lovely :)

Add a third answerd: "I don't have a girlfriend".
If she enjoyed Terraria, I bet she'll enjoy Starbound as it's nearly open world.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 The story in it is very good as well. One of the only games that actually made me cry (actually, now I think about it, it was the only time I cried since my dogs died...)
Comment has been collapsed.
try the title "how to stop my boyfriend's gaming obsession" or "you dont know what your missing, till its gone" ; for these 2 seem kinda effective...

Most weird comment I've seen since I joined this community
Comment has been collapsed.
i once had a gf, who at first was not into games,,, but when i showed her games to play, she fell in love with them, and the time spend together grew shorter every week.....,,, and before long,, she started dating a guy she never met before while playing wow...., ditching me for not enjoying the games she'd enjoyed....

Or you could try a total different approach - take her to CS:GO, kill her or wait someone else to do it, call her a noob faggot. Maybe she will become pro just to prove you a point.
Don't do that.

Thanks. :D Maybe I can convince some cute gay guy to take the deal.

Don't Starve Together, Tabletop Simulator, Broforce, a bunch of SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics (Example: Streets of rage series, golden axe series)
Comment has been collapsed.
How are those offline singleplayer games? They are all great for multiplayer as far as I can tell but I think he wants her to play something on her own :)
Comment has been collapsed.
broforce and the sega games can still be playable offline and also don't starve together usually requires you to own the original don't starve game which is single player only.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was mainly talking about the first 3 games, DST does not require you to own Don't Starve but it can be really helpful depending on with who you are playing... So yes, I'd recommend him/her to get Don't Starve or if they want to experience it together to just get the multiplayer version.. I didn't know Broforce is also solo offline, always thought it was a total multiplayer game. Just as Tabletop Sim :D
Also I don't have much interest in SEGA Classics except Sonic franchise and those dolphin games but then again it's all about someones taste. I know there's other girls that love LoL and I have no interest at all in it for example.

tabletop sim has single player but theres nothing much to do in there. its heavily implied you got someone to play with you localy.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd only recommend Tabletop if in a long-distance relationship, otherwise you can just put out the good old boardgames lol. I have Tabletop Sim but I'd never play it alone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait, Tabletop has multiplayer!? I guess that means I've been doing it wrong, but at least the way I play I always win!
But I also always lose... ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
Ibb & Obb maybe
Starwhal is a long shot but could be fun
Comment has been collapsed.
Play Telltale games together. They don't have much interaction anyway so it's like watching a movie together :D
Comment has been collapsed.
My girlfriend has recently stuck her feet into the pool of gaming so to speak, and is splashing around a bit. She started off by watching me play Witcher 3 and was really into that but when I offered to let her play for a bit (to walk around Novigrad and talk to people for example) she declined and said she liked to watch me play it more.
I did some research for local co-op games we could both play together and game across Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Trine 1 and 2 etc she very much enjoyed those
But now I would like suggestions for good offline singleplayer games for her to play on her own on her laptop. Games that have a good singleplayer experience, and ones that aren't hard or confusing for players new to video games. Also preferably ones that aren't dark/scary/bloody
So far I've come across as likely candidates
Terraria
Stardew Valley
Slime Rancher
Rayman Legends
Oceanhorn Monster of Uncharted Seas
Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition
Crashlands
Thoughts?
