Coop or Multiplayer games my gf would enjoy?

[Espira]

Hi guys!

 

Every now and then my gf and I want to play something together, but I'm not sure what to choose. With the Steam sale I was hoping maybe getting some fun suggestions?

 

We are LDR, so I see her every couple weekends, so either local coop or multiplayer is fine.

 

Where I have trouble is that there are restrictions. She's not a huge gamer, and has a laptop that's limited.

 

Specs:

• E1-2100
• Memory: 4GB DDR3
• Hard Drive: 320GB HDD
• Windows 8

 

It's capable of playing Hearthstone, so there's' that.

 

She likes playing Mario and Donkey Kong Country style platformers; she likes that there's levels from my understanding. She also likes Hearthstone because of the strategy.

 

Not a fan of RPG nor FPS.

 

I know this is PC, but she does have access to a Wii if that helps to any suggestions.

 

Thanks for reading & for any suggestions

Battle Block Theater is a good co-op game.

Mario Kart

Portal (2)

Rayman Origins/Legends

Minecraft

Civilization 5 

 

EDIT: Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends are some of my favorite platformers as they can be tricky but far from impossible

Civ 5 for sure, but prepare for 6 hour games. If you're lucky.

just look under steam under platformers

my first suggestion

the worms franchise

Portal games are great for co-op/sharing the love.

10/10 Would co-op again.

To be honest, a lot of 'source' games are fun together.

[Snadzies]

Rock Band. (Wii)

 

The Walking Dead. While not technically a co-op game I've seen a number of people who've had their other half sit with them and either join in or make all the choices while they take care of controlling the character.

 

Castle Crashers.

 

Keep talking and no one explodes.
