If a touch of horror (more tense, less scary) with a bit of meaning (about passions) I would add The Cave. If it could be kept up with by both people, I would also add Orcs Must Die! 2. My top picks for 2-player co-op for a non-gamer who is still able to coordinate in a video game (can navigate 3D games, use a gamepad, etc.): the Trine series (physics-oriented fantasy platformer, slightly more fun with 3 players), Beyond: Two Souls (hard to describe without spoiling this one, but very story-oriented, with one person playing a girl and the other their “imaginary friend”), Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (action+puzzles designed around 2 players), Clandestine (1 person "hacks," the other does the sneaking), the We Were Here series (the first game is free on Steam, and requires exactly 2 people to solve), Never Alone (2D platformer), and Divinity: Original Sin (top pick for a 2-player co-op RPG). and assuming specifically is good for 2-player co-op. and assuming online-ready co-op only (via any method).

I am just not sure how best to narrow it down to exactly what you are looking for. I have a looot of experience with co-op games.
