    Try Life is Strange: an emotional coming of age game about a photography student with the ability to rewind time. One of my favorites.

    Subnautica (obviously?) - Female protagonist trying to survive long enough to figure out what happened to her sister on a frozen planet.

    Gris - A very lovely and emotional story about grief.

      Just to be explicit, Subnautica: Below Zero is the entry featuring the female protagonist, Robin, not the first game.

    Life is Strange games! More story then anything, and the dialog is a bit cringy these days but there’s really no other games like it and I highly recommend them.

      Specifically the first game (unarguably the best one), its prequel, and True Colours. Life Is Strange 2 has two brothers, instead. They’re all very, very good games that all have made me cry (some multiple times).

      They’re also pretty gay if that interests you.

    Aquaria

    A very well put together Metroidvania. The map is very fun to explore, good boss fights, great music, and interesting story.

    Many good choices here. I didn’t see Half Life Alyx here yet. It is an amazing game which alone is almost worth the cost of VR.

      This game is amazing. I borrowed Index from a friend to play it and I loved every minute of it.

        Lol I’m genuinely curious. Its at the top of my “to play” pile since I’ve heard so much good about it.

        So if there’s any fair warning to temper my expectations…

          algitht than if you like a nicely structured story than stay away its purposely confusing to “portray a certain type of mental illness”, which i call bullhog on, a confusing mess is a confusing mess

          combat i find too slow the game is generally boring to actually play

          like it wanted to be an art project so bad bad just had to attach a game to it

    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.

      Along a similar vein, Syberia is wonderful.
