My partner is interested in learning some of the games I play, so I’m trying to find some introductory games to get her used to the common control schemes.
Off the top of my head, it’d probably have to be games that…
Have few inputs beyond the basics
Are not difficult or punishing
Are approachable mechanically (So as not to overwhelm them when they’re focus on learning basic controls)
2D is probably preferable, since its easier to understand and process whats happening at a glance.
Multiplayer would probably also be a strong bonus, but also not required
The only game that particularly comes to mind is Portal, but hopefully others will have some better ideas.
My wife is really into the sims and oddly enough 'House Flipper was a really goof intro to wasd co trols in something she was interested in. She can play most anything these days.
