Cat quest 2 if you like cat puns and something casual. (Cat quest 1 is single player and doesn't (really) connect to the storyline of the sequel)

Dark Souls 1 (remastered) & 3 along with Bloodborne are good options.
Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that's quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you're on a private server.
If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.
Serious Sam - almost any version!
PlateUp can be fun in 2 player co-op. If you've played Overcooked, its basically a clone of that, but turned into a roguelike. Its not the longest or deepest, but its still solid, and the price is very fair IMO, esspecially if you get it on sale.
It's a very different experience, but have you considered Baldur's Gate 2?
Wildermyth is an awesome indie RPG that I've had a lot of fun with as a two-player coop game. It's a turn-based dungeon crawler with a strong focus on role play and party dynamics.
I hear great praise for Across the Obelisk as a coop game from my friends, although I personally bounced off of it. It's a roguelite deck builder like Slay the Spire, but with multi-player, lots of meta progression, and a heftier time commitment for each run.
Gunfire Reborn is a roguelite looter shooter that's a blast in coop. I think it's still in Early Access, but what's already there is enough for me to be happy with it as a full game. To me it's a spiritual successor to Borderlands in combat and gamefeel, but without the grinding.
Unraveled 2 is a beautiful and fun game for 2 people.
The Division 2 is fantastic co-op and often gets put on sale.
You should try a wholesome cute game called Bread and Fred!!! It's got penguins!
BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support
It's an old game, but Pixel Junk: Monsters is a ton of fun as a co-op tower defense. Don't bother with the sequel - s'bad.
I have a co-op buddy too and heaps of good suggestions from others here. Two that I've been enjoying as 2 person co-op:
Wartales: started this after completing BG3 and it was a real interesting change in thinking. This is fantasy party adventure, but you run a team of mercenaries, so it's more about the team build and strategy, rather than the specific character focus that you have in BG3.
The Wild Eight: an isometric survival, crafting, set in a plane crash in the snow. Some story, discovery elements included.
Since you mentioned Vintage Story I'm gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot 👌
Abiotic Factor. It's basically a co-op Half-life.
Outriders. And a bit more tame but Unravel 2 for in-person.
Remnant 2 is sweet!
Outward is pretty fun (and at times bs and challenging). It is also not that long of a game to finish. The soundtrack is also good.
