My wife is similar, basically never gamed until a few years ago. She got hooked on Civilization Revolution of all things.
I've played everything Telltale released so if you have questions on any of them or would like recs, l can.
Spiritfarer is something we played co-op together, its side scrolling but still platforming, although a lot easier than It Takes Two which she kind of struggled with also.
We ran through games like Portal Knights, Dragon Quest Builders 2, did some Craftopia. She picked up on the 3rd person much better than 1st. She likes the crafting aspect of games, and plays Portia and Dreamlight Valley also.
There are always board game video games also, Catan and Ticket to Ride released good digital versions.
Then there is stuff like Trival Pursuit and Jackbox and various other trivia and party stuff.
