alt Hacker News> I feel like there's not a lot of games you can play with another person these days and playing it like that was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend playing it with another person if you have the chance.
Absolutely. Shameless self-plug to my list of games for "non-gamers" that I find enjoyable with a friend or significant other: https://ronan.jouchet.fr/games?list=nongamer . The first of the list is ...... Return of the Obra Dinn ^^.

Big fan of The Case of the Golden Idol, mentioned in that list.
According to Steam stats, it's been a huge success for them, which surprised me and has given me hope for the state of the gaming scene.
The two DLCs have been excellent. They're also working on a sequel set in the 1970s, The Rise of the Golden Idol, due for release in a few days [1].

I loved the gameplay on "Her Story". I don't know if I finished the game, it really didn't matter anyway.
I think Outer Wilds might have a place in a list like this.
Thank you for the wonderful list. Here are some other suggestions that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Apologies for not describing or linking to the games:
- Reventure (highly recommended) - Recursed (same) - Treasure Adventure Game, or its remake Treasure Adventure World - Loot Hound (so relaxing) - Wilmot's Warehouse (same) - Out of Space (the opposite of relaxing) - Q.U.B.E. - There Is No Game - An Untitled Story - Tools Up! - Viscera Cleanup Detail
And of course the well-known (as far as I can tell) Terraria, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Stanley Parable, Dicey Dungeons, Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, Firewatch, Transistor, Overcooked.
This post became longer than I expected.
What a great list, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for the list.
Given that you have Patrick's Parabox in that list, have you played Baba is You?
A lot of great stuff on there. Random game from last year that feels like it would fit well is Chants of Sennaar. Played though it with my non-gaming partner and we had a blast.
