Linear Game suggestions for inexperienced gamer

My girlfriend recently got into gaming thanks to my PS5 and she's been enjoying it as a stress reliever.

She started playing Hogwarts Legecy and finished it, and just also finished Guardians of the Galaxy. Had a hard time with some of the fights but she still enjoyed it. Currently have her trying out God of War but wanted to see if anyone else had other ideas for fun games that are fairly linear in scope (ie not massive open world) but not ridiculously difficult.

Ideas I had: HZD and HFW but I feel the combat might be too hard. She started TLOU as well but switched to Guardians and seemed to enjoy it more. Not interested in Star Wars stuff so Jedi Survivor is out.

Tomb Raider, A Plague Tale, Life is Strange games, Detroit: Become Human come to mind.

SIL is not a gamer at all but she and my brother had tons of fun replaying Detroit and watching all the various outcomes.

Borderlands was good for me and gf to coop

Dying light/dead island 2 also

But if not Co op then pretty much any ps5 exclusive on easiest setting


My gf also loved mass effect and skyrim

Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect combination of linear storyline and side quests/open world. Also an incredible story with good gameplay. And on the PS5 is looks absolutely amazing.

i found hogwarts to be a button mashing mess. If she can get into games you should try either DOS2 or Baldurs Gate 3 with her

Disagree, I'd avoid games with detailed inventory systems and stuff like that.


Keep it simple with linear and Co op games

The Resident Evil series. She'd love some of the more action focused entries like Resident Evil 4 and 8. If she can handle a little horror/adrenaline, she should definitely play 2 before 4 and 7 before 8 since they're kind of sequels to eachother, but if not, she can get the story just fine in 4 and 8.

Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are my favorite games ever. And imo it does really great with a female audience because it has an awesome female protagonist and has a strong theme and story around nature. The combat isn't hard at all, imo it's easier than God of War

Kena Bridge of Spirits. There's an easy mode and it's a beautiful game.

Uncharted
Shadow of the Colossus
The Last Guardian

Until Dawn could also be something fun to play together because of the choices.

They are all good games but aside from ratchet and God of war I wouldn't recommend any others to a noob gaming girlfriend


OP I forgot another great game you can play solo or together is destiny 2. I played a ton of that with my gf. Really easy to carry her thru stuff.

Also for some simple fun arcade games:

Rocket league
Golf with friends
Trials dirt bike game
Geometry wars

You MUST play it takes two with your gf on Co op. It was made for it.

Lmao I lold at the list too. But you never know what someone might like. My buddy’s girl doesn’t play games at all but somehow got sucked into RDR2. Has played for a little over 500 hours and has 100% it but literally refuses to play anything else. This was actually a few years back and she is talking about doing it again.

Personally my wife can only really get into stuff with puzzles or **** like Tetris Effect
