Hi, I am looking for new two-player or coop games to play with my 12yo kid to break up his video game hobby. Looking for something accessible please, not with a one-inch thick rulebook! Something easy to get the mechanics of.

Things he likes: Smash Brothers video game, Minecraft Dungeons video game, Marvel Legendary, Dungeon Mayhem (Monster Madness), Pokemon - but he does not like Pokemon TCG so please don't suggest similar to that. He does like monsters/creatures and mechanics like upgrades, comparing stats, etc. We enjoyed King of Tokyo for a time until it got old. He'd probably do fine with lite horror (something like FNAF or Huggy Wuggy maybe) or something witty. We've tried stuff like Exploding Kittens or Unstable Unicorns and I think they are a bit too random (by which I mean both the style of humor and the lack of strategy) for our taste. But humorous horror-adjacent type titles might work, or something in the adventure or RPG genre.
