Baldur’s Gate was a special game. It’s the only game my wife liked to play, and we couch-coopted it. We played the rest in the series together, full play through all of them, a couple of times. Never found that magic combo again, sadly, and to this day she laments that there are so few 3d isometric couch coop games.

I’m excited to try that. No couch co-op :-( Nobody makes those anymore.

Maybe not on console but you can couch co-op on PC.

Pretty sure it isn’t out on Xbox yet because they are struggling with couch co-op on series s

It’s a phenomenal game, probably the best I’ve played since Red Dead 2

If you liked the first two, have you tried Planescape Torment? Basically the same engine

I didn’t know about that one - it looks great! no couch co-op, sadly, so my wife won’t be interested, but I think it looks great!

Thanks for the recommendation.

It has a great story, you’re in for a ride!

I also realised that the Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) might scratch that itch - the setting is a cyberpunk/fantasy mashup, and the game play is similar isometric point and click until you get into combat when it becomes isometric turn based tactical. I was recommended to start with Dragonfall
