We’re going to highlight fifteen games that we enjoy and happened to feature a female lead protagonist as well.

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

Portal! Chell may be silent, but it’s directly stated that she got as far as she had due to sheer tenacity and resourcefulness

Also, Silksong, if you’re willing to wait for its release in 2377 AD

Edit: here’s some more (these are all fairly family-friendly):

*Celeste

*Crypt of the NecroDancer

*Spelunky 2

*A Hat in Time

*Slime Rancher

*Webbed

Great suggestions, but Spelunky 2??? I love my daughter, but I also don’t hate myself ;)

Hat in Time is perfect for this.

Also to add: Aquaria, quite old but it’s kinda nice. EDF if you willing to play as Wing Diver only. Iconoclast if you’re into metroidvania. Metroid Prime remaster if you have a switch. Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is pretty nice. Transistor but i don’t really dig it, maybe you’ll like it. Orc Must Die 2 if you only play as Sorcerer. La Mulana 2 if you wanna torture yourself and confuse your daughter 😂

Slime rancher is a fantastic suggestion for a little girl. Great game, female MC, cute little animals and overall graphic style.

I loved it as a relaxing post work game even as a 30yr old man

Shocked I had to scroll so far for A Hat in Time. Seems pretty much perfect for this.
