My (39F) husband (33M) really wants to find a couples PC game to play together, but in short it doesn't sound like fun to me. I did not grow up with gaming and have never been into it, I actually sought out a partner that wasn't a gamer because I once dated someone that would console game a lot and I hated it. My husband goes to a friend's house and plays PC games with him every week, so he's getting some game time, but wants to make it an us thing too.
He keeps suggesting games that he thinks I might enjoy, and I feel like I'm kicking a puppy when I share with him that it doesn't sound like my idea of fun. The thing is I know I'll just be shit and get frustrated, I'll end up feeling embarrassed because "I don't know how to game" (he's made many references while explaining that already I don't understand) and it'll probably end up in an argument.
I know I sound pig headed about this, I'll admit I get defensive when I feel stupid, ultimately it all just makes me feel so much older and outdated than him. We play a lot of board games together, which we both really enjoy. But honestly, I can't even play Trivial Pursuit on Switch without pressing the wrong buttons and coming a distant last every time.
The games he suggests also kinda sound like chores and really just don't appeal to me at all. The most modern game I ever played as a kid was the OG Abes Oddisey on PC, when I was about 13, I don't even remember what the objective of the game was tbh. If anyone has any suggestions for couples games that aren't in the same vein as Farmville or the like, I'm open to checking them out.. Even murder mystery or something a bit more exciting than renovating a house or planting crops?
TLDR: Husband wants to get me into couples PC gaming, but his suggestions do not appeal to me. Any suggestions for murder mystery type games?
