Games to get your girlfriend into gaming

OMD 2

Torchlight 2 , Orcs Must Die 2, Dungeon Siege 3 , they have coop and female chars

Adventure and visual novel games is probably the best way to get into it on steam... I recommend Life is Strange and To the Moon, they're my favourites. She may like Stardew Valley, though I never played it. I would recommend the early Final Fantasy games too, I wouldn't say they're too hard in terms of movement lol.

my intro to gaming was portal and bioshock. might be worth a try portal got me uesed to the controls and well bioshock is just amazing hehe. hope she has fun :) find out what she likes in games and work to that.

Mortal Kombat, teach her to learn all fatality moves XD
or Stardew Valley is ok if MK is too hard.

I would not recommend Ori. This game gets really hard and for a beginner may be the last game they ever tried ti play. When I started playing games, my first one was Limbo. I really loved playing it, because it is fairly easy to play. There is also Lumino City, pretty cute game.
Raymon Legends is a good game too. Actually, maybe she will like Game of Thrones - Telltale Game. It does not require any particular skills, and the story is pretty good.

Be the way, congratulations! It is pretty cool when people play games together. Couple who play together, stay together :D

I'm recently trying to do the same thing as you op (although my gf is less interested in gaming in general than yours).

We played several games together:

• Terraria - "But what's the point of this game?" (falls into a dark pit, dies) "I don't like it let's play something else",
• Metal Slug 3 - she died like a bazillion of times, but it was fun. Not much replay value though,
• Lethal League - we had some fun, she even managed to beat me once. A good game, but like a 0,5h gameplay at a time and the servers are empty :(
• Pid - She really liked the cutesy art style and the coop value, we'll finish it at some point.
• Left 4 Dead 2 - Only on easy difficulty and we'd still get wrecked. Also, almost rage quitted when I started bashing her with a gun during an elevator ride ("omg how could you hit me"). In the end, lots of fun.

That's a bad idea. Who's going to wash the dishes and change diapers?

No one mentioned Bejeweled, huge success.

Don't know about single player ones, but I played Co-op with my girlfriend: hammerwatch, guacameele, ibb &obb, badland.. She enjoyed them(we finished hammerwatch twice, with different chars).
Also risk of rain is nice in Co-op. It's simple and easy to get into but it's pretty hard to master for non-gamers..

Psychonauts nearly turned my ex into a bigger gamer than I am. Because it's cute and smart, and still an insanely good game.

Okay let me try again. I didnt win with Rocket League here so. something different.
Road not Taken - a roguelike game with cute characters. If you are familiar with this genre you can recommend it as much as I do
Magicka - is coop, and stupid af
Defense Grid - awesome tower defense game, one of the best on Steam in my opinion
Plague Inc: Evolved - it was a mobile game, Steam version is great! Miltiplayer, steam workshop and custom scenarions. Yay for that
Apotheon - 2D game, nice art.

I don't have a gf :(
Telltale games, Borderlands, Deponia, DmC Devil May Cry, Rise of Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Disney Universe.. so many games it's hard to choose. :O

The Sims 3 is perfect for getting into gaming. It's fun, addictive, yet casual.

But it would be way more interesting to get her into Undertale.

Deponia series, Lego games for playing together, Dust : an elysian tale
Edit: I can't really vote because I am a girl and I have a boyfriend who plays games as well :)

I pulled my GF into videogames via Minecraft. It amazed her, and she was pretty into it. We also enjoyed playing it together.

Another category of games are LEGO games - LOTR, Pirates, Star Wars - they are easy enough, and interesting enough, especially when playing together.

Right now we're about 4 months into ESO, and we love it (we played Oblivion and Skyrim for 100+ hours each).

Portal 2 in co-op

Try Deponia. Only then she will know how good you are for her :-)

What does "girlfriend" mean? Is it a new app?

All the LEGO games are awesome for casual gamers.

Hidden object games (mystical ones) = 100% win. Confirmed with 4 GFs.

Guitar Hero series

I don't know if it has already been suggested, but my gf loves playing Rocket League with me, she proposes to play it herself.
