Good is an incredibly subjective term. May be you can try Control. Or, if you're into rythm games and metal, I'd recommend Metal: Hellsinger.

Echo the dolphin? Hell yeah. Female protagonist, insane story that nobody sees coming, impossibly difficult first couple of levels to the point that most people never got past them. Brilliant.

I should have given more context 😅 Actually, I was referring to this one:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is still a thing...

The only game that comes to my mind now that hasn't been mentioned yet, would be Tchia. Very sweet game.

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

Pokemon, anything equal or newer than crystal.

Night in the Woods

One of the three protagonists in Day of the Tentacle is female, tho one could argue that Bernard is sort of the primary protagonist.

Sonic Origins Plus lets you play as Amy Rose, as well as the upcoming Sonic Superstars

Lollipop Chainsaw

The Metroid series

Ms. Pac-Man, quite possibly the OG female protagonist

The tomb raider Trilogie

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Going Under. It's a goofy rougelike game which parodizes corporate companies and startups. You play as an unpaid marketing intern who needs to kill monsters from failed startups, but she applied for marketing,

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.

Metroid: Fusion is pretty fun!

[–] jobias@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

A lot of good suggestions here. Remember Me and Mirror's Edge are also good, perhaps not as great some of the truly outstanding ones already posted though. But if you're looking for something with a cyberpunk edge, both will fit the bill nicely.

[–] freebread@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Soul Hackers 2 is a nice little palette cleanser of an RPG. Not as expansive as other Megaten games but it kept me engaged all the way through. The main party are all adults too which is a nice change of pace.

[–] TheOakTree@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Alba is a very cute and relaxing game, but it's good! And the eponymous main character is a little girl.

The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Dreamfall Chapters

[–] Xiphorang@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is what I was coming here to recommend. April is a great character, and the series is really good. The first is very much old-school point & click, with the sometimes highly obscure puzzles that entails, but the story is excellent.

Some not yet mentioned.

Play Gris, if for no other reason than the art. It's just so beautiful.
