8 Surprising Games Your Girlfriend Will Love to Play With You

The essence of a good relationship is sharing what you love. This is why many gamers want to share their love of gaming with their girlfriends.

However, that’s easier said than done. For one thing, she may not like games like Overwatch or Fortnite as much as you do. And even if she did, these aren’t games you can play on a single system.

The trick, then, is finding games you can play from the same couch and that won’t make you kill each other. After all, the idea is to bring you closer and not drive you apart.

Here we go, then: here are eight surprising video games your girlfriend will love to play with you!

1. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

The struggle of any couple is learning that you can’t do everything on your own. Instead, each partner must learn to rely on the unique strengths and insights of the other partner.

That idea is pretty literal with Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. In this game, the two of you are in charge of navigating a spherical spaceship to its destination. Sounds simple, right? Think again!

The ship has different stations for things like shields and engines. In order to succeed, the two of you have to run to different stations and coordinate all of your movements and timing.

By the time you pilot the ship into the giant heart, you might just be more in love than ever.

2. Overcooked

Your girlfriend might roll her eyes if you say she’s going to like a cooking game. However, Overcooked and its sequel are some of the best games to develop communication and coordination skills.

The premise is simple: both of you work as chefs in a kitchen. Since neither person can handle all of the prep alone, you must each work efficiently and without getting in the other’s way.

This creates the high stress/high relief of completing a major task together. And if your girlfriend already enjoys competitive cooking shows, she’ll like this game even more.
