Any recommendations for multiplayer games for two?

Just a general question, I want to introduce some games to my girlfriend, and she has been hesitant to try some more classic ones like COD or LOL (don't blame her). Maybe there are some recommendations for some that we could both enjoy?

What's that game called where you have to give each other detailed instructions on how to defuse a bomb

Are you looking for two player co-operative games? PC or console? Most games I play are 3-4 player co-op games on PC with friends these days.

Payday 2 - 1-4 players doing a bank robbery, we played it loads but it got a bit samey. Stealth and/or shooting
Total War - can't remember which ones in the series are multiplayer, we play Warhammer 3
Borderlands - think they're all multiplayer and are great fun, 1 is getting a bit old but 2, TPS and 3 are still holding up

Local stuff, Gauntlet, Granturismo 7, Resident Evil (I think 5 and 6); Broforce (amazing old skool feel).

Helpful to know if console or PC. Console works well for two players playing together, I don't have a PC for gaming but they're not really set up for that in the same way.

I've been trying to find games to play with my older kids (12+13). We play on PS5 and I want split (or same) screen games. Co-op games work pretty well, had decent fun with them playing It Takes Two. Other games that we've played include (lots of) Fifa, The Ascent and Fortnite

Lots of co-op games require you to play on two different devices, which isn't what I wanted.

Might be worth looking at a MMO such as the 'original' World of Warcraft (can't remember what the relaunched old version is called).
