Good simple 2 player games to play with a GF who's not really ever been into gaming?

I have a gaming PC and a PS5. Wondering if any of you do any two player games with your other half? She's not into gaming, so it has to be something easy to pick up and immediately fun.

Looking for easy to get into 2 player games.

It Takes Two and Unravel 2 are both great couch co-op games.

It Takes Two has FPS twin stick controls which beginners find very difficult. It is the absolute best coop game though.

Captain Toad or Box Boy + Girl are more appropriate for a beginner. Not sure what’s available like that on the PS5 though.

@Kreeeee I must admit I hadn't considered that aspect. Definitely one for later though, hope we see more co-op games of that standard

My other half also plays simple stuff but some of what we play is clearly taste driven:

Lego - pretty much all of them since Lego Indy. Marvel superheroes 2 one of the better ones, and Lego Indy 2 is also awesome.
Rory Mcilroy Golf
Pure Pool (with snooker add on)
Unraveled 2
It takes two
Trine 2
Little big planet 3
Monopoly
