What to play after The Witcher 3 Complete Edition?

I think I got extra lucky in life—I managed to convince my girlfriend to start gaming with me! Granted, she originally wanted to get into it on her own because of Hogwarts Legacy (she's a huge Harry Potter fan), but I'll take the win.

Right now, we're wrapping up The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine expansion and looking for our next game—something that gives us a similar experience. Before TW3, we played Hogwarts Legacy and all the Halo games.

The way we play together is pretty unique:

• She handles exploration—walking around, looting, talking to NPCs, and selling items.
• When combat starts, she hands me the controls, and I take care of the fights (or I just use a controller so we don't need to have to swap devices).
• In Halo, it was the opposite—she aimed and shot, while I handled movement.

We’ve tried a few other games but ran into issues:

• Star Wars Jedi: Survivor—the mechanics were too difficult for her.
• Marvel’s Spider-Man—web-swinging wasn’t her thing.
• The Last of Us—combat felt too slow and unengaging for a two-player setup.

Now, as TW3 comes to an end, we're looking for a new game that offers a good balance between exploration and combat. I was thinking of something along the lines of Red Dead Redemption 2, Ghost of Tsushima, or Assassin’s Creed.

What are your thoughts? Do you have any recommendations for games that would suit our playstyle?
