Cool, but my wife is not a videogamer.
It isn't even that she minds videogames - she bought me an Xbox One some years back, when Overwatch came out, because it was big and she thought I might like it. But it turned out to take, as I said, hours and hours of time of me off playing a game. Even that's okay now and then, but it doesn't work as a habit, which means I don't get to really dig into any games.
I think a lot depends on playstyle and the game in question.
Overwatch is absolutely a game where I suspect most people play it alone in their room -- you need to watch for things; you can't get distracted; and there's a lot of chatter on the channel.
I play mostly RPGs, like
Horizon Forbidden West (which I need to get back to and complete), or
Red Dead Redemption 2 (which I have no desire to develop past Chapter 2, but I need to complete the side challenges), or
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. All of those I used to play when my wife was in the room as well, maybe reading a book or whatever. But we could chat for a few minutes and then I could get back in the game; it has a pause feature, which a live game does not.
When my daughter's awake, we're trying not to expose her to gratuitous videogame violence; at least, not for a few years yet. So, we mostly play things like
Minecraft on Peaceful mode, or the current favorite
Dredge (the Lovecraftian fishing simulator), or
Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Animal Crossing would also be acceptable, as is this new game I Kickstarted,
Mika and the Witch's Mountain.
Lots of options, and sometimes my wife is playing while my daughter is playing with her Little People and I'm on the laptop working on stuff for our
Traveller game. It works. But not with live games, certainly.
