My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard I was thinking starting simple.

I can’t think of anything else than Factorio, as she likes organizing/keeping track of stuff.

Would you recommend against that or have anything better in mind? Let me know!

Portal and Portal 2 are excellent "introduction to gaming," games. Memorable, fun, funny, and most importantly the entire game teaches you the skills needed for a large percentage of other games.

Factorio, Satisfactory, and Dyson Sphere Program are all good factory building games.

Terraria and Minecraft can be surprisingly engaging with multiplayer.

Portal 2 multiplayer is really nice as wella

Unfortunately I missed out there. I only managed to pick up P2 last year, and no one that I live near is a gamer.
