Try Life is Strange: an emotional coming of age game about a photography student with the ability to rewind time. One of my favorites.
Portal
Not seeing Transistor but if you want a female protagonist that will make you cry your eyes out at the end, I recommend her.
Games As Literature 101 has a documentary that goes into a deep dive about Red as a character.
Also some people used Red’s song from Transistor as a wedding song 😃
Jade from Beyond Good and Evil.
By NOLF you mean No One Lives Forever? If so a quick search gave me this “revival” site, seeing the Windows targets i bet that runs on Wine
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.
-Control
-A Hat in Time
-Celeste
-Shantae (Pirates Curse and Risky’s Revenge are my favs)
-Touhou Luna Nights
-Returnal
-Portal 1/2 if that counts
Portal?
Extremely retro, but currently available on the Mac App Store: Mess O’ Trouble. It was a WorldBuilder game–think Infocom, but with static pictures you could interact with. I believe your choice of Daredevil Dawn or Fearless Frank had some impact on the gameplay if you got far enough, but child me never did.
Does this game exist on other platforms?
Doubtful, though it might be possible to emulate System 6 or System 7 and get it running on Windows or Linux.
technically any MMO (or other RPG) that lets you build a female character, but I would say FFXIV as there are a lot of interesting female secondary protags.
Hmm, by that standard, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous both qualify, though opinions on the NPC companions vary.
Nier: Automata
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
A couple of the Star Ocean games let you choose between a Male or Female protag.
Related, but the Mass Effect protagonist can be male or female, but most people say the female voice actor is better, so it’s not just a cosmetic choice it’s actually the superior experience.
Or so I’ve heard. I only played as the female protagonist based on hearing this.
I tried a MaleShep run once, made it an hour or two. Mark Meer’s delivery makes it sound like they just left the placeholder track in the final release.
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.
Whoa whoa whats wrong with Senua?
id rather not get lynched, thank you very much
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
Aquaria
A very well put together Metroidvania. The map is very fun to explore, good boss fights, great music, and interesting story.
