I bought a few games based solely on your suggestions. Rhino Hero was the biggest surprise success, every time we break it out with new couples they fall in love with it. Arkham Horror: LCG and Puerto Rico were also fantastic buys. Thank you!

Exit without the minimum of tips! I’ve tried unlock and didn’t understand it, gave it away. Also liked our first story of Sherlock Holmes consulting detective: irregular baker street boys. Micro macro is on my wishlist.

Other 2-player games I enjoy: Onitama (arguably my favorite game), The Fox in the Forest (also arguably my favorite game), Schotten Totten, Matcha (not a good game, but a game I'm still fond of), Hanamikoji, Royal Visit, Hive, Mandala, Jekyll vs. Hyde, Santorini, Jaipur, Quarto Play well at 2: Piepmatz, Village Green, Azul

All for Unlock (sorry Jānis)! Even though Exit has more of an escape room "feel", Unlock exceeds in storytelling and delivering escape room type (yes, I admit) experience in a full journey. I would play both, but my wife will always better pick Unlock series, because of whole experience together. But, I was a little surprised not to see Codenames Duet on this list, for I think it is definitely for couples (or just 2 players), because it works as a game, but also helps to get to know other person - how they think, what connections they see, etc. So it is not just game, but also a way to get to know player you are playing with. But that is just my thoughts.
@gruntsudens

For me as well, storytelling is stronger in Unlock. I sadly have played Codenames duet only once. Somehow, in my book, Codenames only associates with a party game.

co-op popped up and i thought, "oh, this is easy: spirit island." lol nope! then heavy popped up with the description that it takes a few hour's, and i thought "war of the rings." wrong again! lo and behold, spirit island was a pick haha. i'm just happy spirit island made it on the list regardless. but since it was picked, then i suppose i'd vote robinson crusoe for co-op edit: ahaha, so the last wild pick was described as being massive in size and taking a long time, and i thought you might say a feast for odin, but no; i was wrong again!
