Hey everyone! I’m a 19-year-old girl and my boyfriend is 20. We’re trying to find a video game we can enjoy playing together online, but it feels like an impossible task. We’re in a long-distance relationship and have been looking for a way to connect through gaming for a few months. I usually enjoy survival, world-building, and RPG games while he likes platformers, dungeon crawlers, and fighting games. We’ve attempted to play various games that align with each other’s preferences, but it never seems to work out. For example, we’ve tried Marvel Rivals, Stardew Valley, Binding of Isaac, Roblox, Spelunky 2, and Portal 2, but none have clicked for both of us. We’re feeling pretty discouraged and would love your suggestions for co-op games we both might enjoy! Here are some of our favorite games for reference: I love Stardew, Skyrim, Resident Evil, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Raft. He likes Spelunky, UFO50, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and games like Valorant and Mario. Any ideas? Please help!

I recommend checking out BG3 (Baldur’s Gate 3) for some fun co-op action. It’s an RPG and has a good mix of story and combat that could appeal to both of you. If you want something a bit different, give Enshrouded a try! It’s a base-builder RPG with dungeons to explore.
How about giving Terraria a shot? It’s a perfect mix of survival and combat, which I think you both might enjoy. You can explore caves, mine for resources, and battle enemies. Plus, it’s been getting updates since 2011, so there’s always something new!
Yes!! Terraria is a classic! I still play it with friends and there’s so much to do together.
Deep Rock Galactic is amazing for co-op play! You team up as a group of dwarves mining for resources while fighting off alien creatures. It’s a fun mix of teamwork and action that could blend your interests well.
If you want something more casual, consider Grounded. It’s a survival game where you and your partner shrink down to the size of insects. You build bases, and there’s plenty of exploration, plus some action. It’s quite fun!
Have you heard about V Rising? It’s an action RPG where you build a castle and manage resources. It’s got PvE and PvP modes, so you can pick how you want to play—could be interesting for both of your tastes!
V Rising has a nice blend of combat and building. It might just be what you’re looking for!
You’ve got to try ‘It Takes Two’—it’s specifically designed for co-op play and is a blast! The humor and creativity in the gameplay make it a must-try for any couple. You both won’t regret it!
I second that! It’s super engaging and really good for couples.
Totally agree! Terraria is one of those games that really brings players together with its cooperative gameplay.
