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 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

Well, there’s Baldur’s Gate 3 now… should keep you entertained for the next 5 years 😃
I’m excited to try that. No couch co-op :-( Nobody makes those anymore.
Pretty sure it isn’t out on Xbox yet because they are struggling with couch co-op on series s
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!
