What games do you recommend for my girlfriend? (infosec.pub)

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!

Was just thinking about My Time at Portia. Pretty new gamer friendly and when things start feeling tedious, a new mechanic is introduced to make everything you were doing easier. Haven't played My Time at Sandrock, so can't speak for the sequel.

I've heard Sandrock is far better on PC than on Switch fwiw

Portia is way better on PC than Switch. I have it on Switch and got to late game but haven't beaten it yet - the lag got too annoying but for me it wasn't quite good enough to justify buying twice. It was pretty good though and if they ever put it on deep discount I'd consider spending $5 or so to buy it again.
