Suggestions for my Minecraft-addicted partner

She has played a bunch of games, but spends most of her time in Minecraft. I want to broaden her horizons a bit.

Likes:

  • Minecraft obviously
  • Hollow Knight / Silksong
  • Stardew Valley
  • Terraria
  • Ori and the Blind Forest + sequel
  • Valheim

She enjoys good gameplay, survival/crafting/creative elements and appreciates nice artwork (artist background).

On the phone I suggested Balatro which she demolished in a week or two, getting scores like 5.5^25 or some shit.

Dislikes:

She does not like games with a lot of talking, turn-based combat, or just generally slow paced.

I told her to try Celeste but that was too "hardcore" - somehow Silksong is no issue..

What should she play next?

Co-op suggestions also appreciated.
We're playing It Takes Two at the moment but we're not having the best time. Feels like it's made for somebody who never saw a video game before.
