Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community?

    Lots of great suggestions from others already, so I’ll add some for when she’s a bit older. I’d say when she grows up the Tomb Raider series would be great for her to play if you want a good female protagonist. And it may be too raunchy of a recommendation for a daughter, but if you want another good female protagonist I’d suggest Lolipop Chainsaw, a great game for when she becomes a teen if she keeps up the hobby. :)

    My 2 year old enjoys watching aloy go on a killing spree in horizon forbidden west… I am a bad parent.

    Windbound could be another fun one.

    Street fighter 6. Pick Juri, Kimberly, Manon or more. With the new Dynamic control system, even your kids can easily play with you.

    I originally bought this game years ago to play co-op with my then girlfriend, but I think it can work for your purposes too - Never Alone

    Hey!

    It’s not coop, but I recently played “The Big Con” (with Gamepass) and it’s more of a fun ride with an easy control scheme and decent puzzles. While the FeMC isn’t the classic “strong female lead”, she is a teenager growing up and develops throughout the game and it’s sorry.

    I found it very funny (your daughter might not get every joke, tough), depicts some good topics (trust, family and responsibility) in a very lighthearted way with a cute art style. :)

      Interesting. I have Game Pass but for some reason, this one passed me by. Will check it out. Some throwback humour would probably be fun for me

        Major problem I forgot: I think the dialogues are text based, so you might have to read it out loud or wait until your kid can read at a comfortable speed (if she can’t already). :)

    Roughly what age are we talking? The list you linked is accurate and pretty much all the mainstream ones. Also,

    • Telltales The Walking Dead

    • Minecraft Story Mode

    Half Life Alyx + No VR mod

    2022 isn’t that old? Anyway, here’s a list of game’s I’d highly recommend from across all of space and time, filtered on female lead, and excluding ones where you can choose or design your own character), random order:

    • Potionomics
    • Metal: Hellsinger
    • Riftbreaker
    • Ittle Dew
    • Transistor
    • Spiritfarer
    • BPM: Bullets per Minute
    • Crypt of the Necrodancer
    • Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
    • Blacktail
    • Night in the Woods
    • Satisfactory
    • Alien Isolation
    • TSIOQUE

      Alien Isolation for a 5 year old. What could possibly go wrong.

      source
      • Deestan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Maybe just stick to the tutorial area.

        source
    • Vordus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Spiritfarer is utterly excellent but also extremely sad (>!the entire game is a hospice care allegory!!<), so if you go into that one keep in mind that at least one of you will probably be crying your eyes out at some point.

      Transistor is just a great game.

      Once Hades 2 comes out, that is also an option

        Or Silksong…

      From what I remember, Ittle Dew would be great to play with a 5 year old. Some good recommendations there!

        Heyyy, I censored it after OP gave the age. :D

        But if your 5yo can handle that game, they are destined for great things \,/_(> &lt;)_\,/
