My partner is interested in learning some of the games I play, so I’m trying to find some introductory games to get her used to the common control schemes.

Off the top of my head, it’d probably have to be games that…

• Have few inputs beyond the basics
• Are not difficult or punishing
• Are approachable mechanically (So as not to overwhelm them when they’re focus on learning basic controls)
• 2D is probably preferable, since its easier to understand and process whats happening at a glance.
• Multiplayer would probably also be a strong bonus, but also not required

The only game that particularly comes to mind is Portal, but hopefully others will have some better ideas.
