Do you play video games with your spouse? What do you play together? Do you have coop sessions? I want to hear your stories.
My husband (40M) is a PC gamer. I (40F) have recently started playing coop games with him. I’ve tried playing in the past, but I never get very far due to the intensity in most of them. Recently, we started playing co-op games together so he can help me out while we play, and I can actually enjoy the game. I was just curious what other couples play and if you have any recommendations for us.
PC games we’ve played in co-op: Splinter Cell, Breakpoint, Green Hell, Astroneer, Grounded, and we just started Icarus. *The only one we truly finished together is SplinterCell and most of Breakpoint.
I decided to get a hot one instead of a gaming one
We’ve done co-op on a few games, like Castle Crashers, Overcooked, Mario Kart, and the like. And played one session of Among Us together. And she practically played Mass Effect trilogy with me, as I would play and then tell her about what happened when we went on walks around the neighborhood.
Mostly we play co-op tabletop with Sentinels of the Multiverse, though.
Sometimes. Depends on the game. She loves playing COD and cozy games like Animal Crossing, but also well play coop things together like ninja turtles or for the king. She will not play dark souls or any of the games franchises that I’m into however.
I introduced my wife to Minecraft 8 years ago and she got hooked to it and we played for a while together.
She hasnt tried any other PC games since and still plays Minecraft so I have been playing PC games with my buddies for a while now!
My wife and I play everything together if possible. For cinematic games we just take turns. Beat Jedi Survivor just the other night and we each beat 50% of the last boss passing the controller back and forth.
Co op games are great but cinematic games can work too since they can be so fun to watch. The story and graphics are super fun even as a spectatir for games like the Last of Us, God of War, etc.
😭😭😭 women who like video games are top tier you’re so lucky! Taking turns is so much fun.
We both game, but usually not together. Most of the games where our interests overlap are single-player, so we’ll take turns playing and watching each other. If we play something together, it’s probably one of our kid’s Switch games like Mario Party or Mario Kart, and then I’m a slightly better gamer but she’s far more competitive so it isn’t a great combination, lol.
My wife always wanted to play videogames as a teen but the parents did not budge and did not buy her a console. Now she’s having a renaissance after getting the Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima and beating Wind Waker, several Yakuza, Persona 5, both of the last God of War, both The Last of Us and Elden Ring to name a few.
When she decided to give a shot to Baldur’s Gate 3, she insisted on couch co-op and we had an amazing time all the way through.
My girlfriend is from Nigeria and has only played a little old school mario as a kid. She says she wants to try games with me but they’re too complicated. She likes button mashing in mortal kombat and she was really into the story of god of war 2018 but didn’t wanna try it because it’s daunting.
Awe! Well it’s definitely daunting at first, but that’s why I like coop. I can take things slower and allow more time to learn because I’m not alone. It also helps to ask questions if I get stuck. It’s a lot to keep up with for someone who’s not used to playing video games.
My ex wasn’t a big gamer either but she enjoyed it takes two, sackboy, a way out, and grand theft auto 5.
My wife will game very infrequently with me, maybe an hour or two every three months. We play almost exclusively co-op games. We played Castle Crashers, Battleblock Theater, and Overcooked together.
Yes, on occasion, however we have very different gaming styles and tend to frustrate the hell out of each other!
He is very organised, spends time organising inventory, planning, if it’s an automation or city builder everything he builds is precise.
I am more on the chaotic alignment, I just wanna get in there and start blasting, you know? All my bags are a mess, my cities and builds are a mess, and I get very very bored waiting for him to do his admin in between the action.
We tend to play solo these days, or with like-minded friends at least haha
My wife doesn’t play at all, nor does she watch when I play. Our hobbies are almost completely the opposite.
I recommend taking a look at Haven, Don’t Starve Together, and Palia.
Yes, she’s my raid healer actually
We also do spend a lot of time gaming separately though since we’re mostly single player gamers outside of a few cases (MMOs being the big one)
We are both gamers but he has more variety in gaming than I do. I often will watch him play some games and advise him on the secrets I see because I’m not focused as he is on getting through an area; I can look around & notice more shit. Lol
