I just started playing Asscreed Odyssey last week, having fun so far. A bit of a departure for the series, more of a Witcher-style open world action-adventure game in ancient Greece. You can select between player characters Alexios (male) and Kassandra (female), I picked Kassandra, I like her, she seems decently written and the voice acting is great.
Elden Ring is incredible, although it’s silent protagonist (aside from grunts etc), and might be too difficult. I know many women who love it though.
CrossCode is an excellent neo-retro overhead 2D action RPG. Great combat system, puzzles, and story.
Valheim isn’t very story heavy but it’s an incredible exploration/survival/crafting game, one of my all time favourites.
Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! Parts 1 & 2 (and sequels Part 3 and Part 4): Masterfully crafted interactive “choose your own adventure” videogame, pretty much a video-book with an immersive story and wonderful illustrations. Highly recommended, I’ve been enjoying Jerma985’s streams of it. You’re constantly making choices that will completely change the outcome of the game, there is a rewind button if you need it.
Control has already been mentioned by others, I also recommend it. Great writing, graphics, lots of humour in the environment. Especially if you’re a fan of SCP. Honestly the combat got a little monotonous towards the end but it didn’t overstay its welcome. The documents you find around the world are hilarious and well worth a read.
There’s Alien: Isolation if you’re looking for a horror game. Every so often I’ll go and give it another playthrough. That game was phenomenal, especially if you’re a fan of the Alien movies
One of the best games I've ever played, and I don't play many games. I've even replayed it twice. Criminally underrated female protagonist with a super cool story :))
edit: sorry didnt see its been suggested a trillion times :c
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. After playing it for a while I couldn’t stop until I reached the end. It looks aged now but controls are generally nice and the story is amazing. And I think the character feels feminine, it’s not just a neutral character with a female skin.
That is a good game, agree. My one complaint is that there're a few moments of drive-by transphobia in it. And some puzzles are obtuse or require items that can be missed, but a quick google solves that frustration easily if need be.
Does Crosscode count? I bought it on sale after hearing how good it is and so far sunk 40 hours in easily. Characters interact very well with one another and the combat system is high paced but accessable. Lots of great puzzles and the over arcing story is engaging.
