Take a look at what games he plays if you have him added on Steam, or ask his favorites. You could try one of those in your free time to get the hang of it before asking him to play (if you felt anxious about that part XD). He'd probably be hype that you wanted to join him in his hobby!

There are also a ton of two person co-op games that you two could play together - I know your schedules are part of the problem, but if possible ever that might be fun. I played 'It Takes Two' with my boyfriend while we were long distance. It has cute animation and is pretty straightforward - puzzle solving to move through the game, but you both have to do your part in order to advance. Stardew Valley is also a good pick - you can farm together and build a little city.

Otherwise, start with what you like as there might be a game related.

Do you like horror?

Do you like decorating + creating?

Do you want to try a shooting game?

Do you want to play alone or play a team-based game?

What are your hobbies outside of gaming? I can try to make some suggestions for games you might like based off of that!

It’s a slow starter during the first hour but definitely picks up, I’d say it’s a similar pace to last of us and has some similarities in gameplay - the story is really great too. If you have gamepass I believe both games are on there, if not the original generally tends to be quite reasonably priced.

You seem to like similar games to me, as I also didn’t get on so much with Witcher or RDR2 so my other recommendations might be the tomb raider trilogy and Alan wake.
