The Division 2 is fantastic co-op and often gets put on sale.
BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support
It's an old game, but Pixel Junk: Monsters is a ton of fun as a co-op tower defense. Don't bother with the sequel - s'bad.
I have a co-op buddy too and heaps of good suggestions from others here. Two that I've been enjoying as 2 person co-op:
Wartales: started this after completing BG3 and it was a real interesting change in thinking. This is fantasy party adventure, but you run a team of mercenaries, so it's more about the team build and strategy, rather than the specific character focus that you have in BG3.
The Wild Eight: an isometric survival, crafting, set in a plane crash in the snow. Some story, discovery elements included.
Dark Souls 1 (remastered) & 3 along with Bloodborne are good options.
Since you played all Borderlands and just finished a D&D game, why not play "B&B" on Borderlands, there's a game called Tiny Tina's Wonderland which plays like Borderlands but is set in "medieval" fantasy (but still has gun for some reason)
Outward is made to be played by two players. It's a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.
It's a very different experience, but have you considered Baldur's Gate 2?
Wildermyth is an awesome indie RPG that I've had a lot of fun with as a two-player coop game. It's a turn-based dungeon crawler with a strong focus on role play and party dynamics.
I hear great praise for Across the Obelisk as a coop game from my friends, although I personally bounced off of it. It's a roguelite deck builder like Slay the Spire, but with multi-player, lots of meta progression, and a heftier time commitment for each run.
Gunfire Reborn is a roguelite looter shooter that's a blast in coop. I think it's still in Early Access, but what's already there is enough for me to be happy with it as a full game. To me it's a spiritual successor to Borderlands in combat and gamefeel, but without the grinding.
Unraveled 2 is a beautiful and fun game for 2 people.
Sea of Thieves.
My recommendation for two people is a Brigantine, just for challenge.
You’ll fight better in a Sloop, but a Brigantine is more fun to operate for two people.
Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that's quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you're on a private server.
If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.
Outward is pretty fun (and at times bs and challenging). It is also not that long of a game to finish. The soundtrack is also good.
Since you mentioned Vintage Story I'm gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot 👌
Super Mario 3 is pretty sweet
Cult of the Lamb's latest content release is bringing 2-player local coop
I enjoyed playing Toodee and Topdee with my roommate. Fun puzzle game. Can be played singleplayer or multiplayer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1303950/Toodee_and_Topdee/
Minecraft Dungeons is also quite fun for co-op. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1672970/Minecraft_Dungeons/
