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!

Factorio works, but it would probably help to give a guided to tour the store and genres, to figure out what she would like.

If she has really no exposure at all, playing just factorio is limiting yourself to eating one flavor of ice cream.
