Dear Polygon,<\/em><\/p>\n

I like finding games (not necessarily co-op) that I can play with my wife. The most real successful game we sort of played together was Samorost 3 \u2014 the vibe, the puzzles, the creativity, we both enjoyed immensely. I personally play a wide variety of games, but finding something that my wife and I can kind of talk about and play together as a single-player game can be a bit tough. Things with story, some puzzles, and interesting aesthetics are likely to draw her in!<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re keen to explore some of Amanita\u2019s other games like Samorost 3, and we have our eye on Stray, since we both love cats. My wife also tends to get motion sickness from watching video games that are too much first person head bobbing and looking around, so that is a bit of a limiter.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi, Bret. Finding the right game to play with a companion is really important, because the wrong game can cause chaos and frustration on both players\u2019 parts \u2014 especially if one is less experienced than the other. If you\u2019re looking for a collaborative experience, you aren\u2019t going to want to play a competitive classic like Mario Party<\/em> or an input-heavy, intense game like Overcooked<\/em>. Finding the right cooperative game is something I\u2019ve absolutely struggled with \u2014 especially when playing with friends or family who aren\u2019t as used to games as me.<\/p>\n

I know you\u2019re not necessarily looking for a game to play cooperatively, but I think I\u2019ve got a game that will be perfect nonetheless. And it just happens <\/em>to be co-op.<\/p>\n

While my husband and I do occasionally play competitive games like Overwatch<\/em> together, we both have much more fun when there\u2019s collaboration. He\u2019s not as into games as I am, and I admit to getting a little<\/em> frustrated if he can\u2019t keep up. But last year, I found one game that was perfect for us: Chicory: A Colorful Tale<\/em>. <\/p>\n
