I was with you the instant I saw Aloy, but Amaterasu was such a wonderful and unexpected surprise π
Horizon Zero Dawn holds a special place in my heart. It’s easily my favorite game in the last 10 years. Okami is just plain spectacular. I mean, I remember the name Amaterasu for a reason lol.
I’d add Maya from Borderlands 2. Sure the story isn’t about her, but I really enjoyed her. Her voice actress really sold her for me.
Alien Isolation with the one and only Amanda Ripley β€οΈβπ₯

Spiritfarer, Portal, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night.
Life is Strange
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
AC Odyssey
Half-Life Alyx
Ooh, I love Hellblade and After Us.
Though…hmm. Favorite…
I liked Perfect Dark.
Asterigos is pretty good.
Transistor.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Well, you can choose if both characters are boys, girls, or one of each, but Haven with both girls is so cute.
I quite liked A Plague Tale: Innocence
Tales of Berseria was *great*.
I keep thinking of other games, but then I remember that they’re create your character RPGs and don’t really count.
Control is one of my favourite games ever. The gameplay is so much fun and Jesse is a great protagonist.
Other games I love are:
– Tomb Raider Trilogy (Original and New)
– Metroid Prime
– Life is Strange 3
– Uncharted Lost Legacy
– Plague Tale Innocence
Okami is my favorite game of all time!!
The walking dead series by Telltale

Spiritfarer and Horizon Zero Dawn were already mentioned – I second these!
Other faves:
– Murder by Numbers
– Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical
– Chicory: A Colorful Tale

1000x Resist, Lorelai and the Laser Eyes, Signalis, Fae Tactics, Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy X-2, Parasite Eve
Cyberpunk 2077, tomb raider series
Some of my favorite games of all time are Celeste, Signalis, and Metroid Dread.
Alice from alice madness returns
My wife loved the Horizon games. I wish I could play them in her memory but it would be way too hard.
She loved Cyberpunk 2077 too
Okami!!! Gods that game was so unexpectedly great, I loved it so much as a kid.
Kassandra in Odyssey.
Just finished playing Valhalla and while it was good, i don’t think it was as good as Odyssey. Also Villi not being able to be a permanent love interest for Eivor was criminal.
Final Fantasy XIII
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (has multiple leads but the first and one on cover art is a girl)
Tomb Raider
A Hat in Time,
Slime Rancher/2,
Metroid Prime/2,
Super Mario RPG,
Islands of Wakfu,
Mass Effect/2/3,
Halo if you’re willing to consider Cortana a protagonist.
And a whooooollllleeeee buncha games where you can make your own character(s) that probably dont’ really count.

Hell yeah TLOU2!!!
Syberia series <3 will always have a super special place in my heart.
There are so much but I really love girl protagonist in horror games
Jill and Claire in Resident Evil, fatal frame, Alice madness Return β¦ And so much more
And bonus point if they have a good dogo or kitty cat with them like in Rule of Rose, Fran Bow and Haunting Ground

After Us has to be one of my favourite games ever! The sheer genius and graphics of the gameβ¦ chefβs kissπ€π»π€π»
Crosscode is my favourite game and the protagonist Lea is fantastic.
The Longest Journey! April Ryan is always my favorite.
I love Susan and Lorelai in The Cat Lady and Lorelai!
Kathy Rain, Rosa Blackwell and Lauren Blackwell from the Blackwell Chronicles
Commander Shepard, Alice from the Alice in Madness series and the kid from Little Misfortune too.
Persona 3 Portable with the FemPC, tho this is cheating a bit. but she does have a character!
recently became obsessed with Void Stranger.

Resident evil 3 remake.
Tomb Raider 1 & 2 (the remake).
Bayonetta 1.
Horizon zero dawn.
Villainous nights Juliette route.
Crosscode. Crypt of the necrodancer(but in all honesty the fact that the main playable character is female has little to no effect for my love of this game, I just like rhythm games in general), hades 2, hat in tike, transistors, and half-life Alyx to name a few
So many good games mentioned already.
Another 3: Potionomics, En Garde, and Wylde Flowers. Are really good games for their genres.
Fatal Frame 2.
It was the first game that I played where you had a sister.
I really liked Mio as a protagonist because of this and I was really protective of Mayu.
Totally agree with your picks! I also like:
Stellar Blade β€οΈ
What remains of Edith Finch
Beyond two souls
Gravity Rush
Returnal
Broken Pieces
The Invincible
Heaven’s Vault
Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Forbidden West
Spiritfarer
Frey of Forspoken, Pax of Dustborn, Vic of Creatures of Ava, Saga Anderson of Alan Wake II, and the classic Jade of Beyond Good & Evil.
I love Horizon Zero Dawn!
I’ve really been enjoying Star Wars Outlaws. Kay and Nix are awesome.

Threads of fate. It’s a you choose the boy or girl route in the game and there’s a different story because of that. The girl route is cool. It’s a fighting game sorta with story I guess?
I will argue Rose from Legend of Dragoon is the true protagonist of that series.
My warrior of light from FFXIV For sure
