By “girly” games I mean : games that have a soft/pink color scheme. About slice of life (preferably with romance elements), and non-violent with no/minimal combat.
I’ve already played Stardew Valley, Minecraft and Animal Crossing.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similar to a very relaxed cross between Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild. There are elements that depend on time passing in the real world such as socializing, holidays, and getting certain resources, and there are also a lot of very funny and cute storylines featuring all the Sanrio characters. You don’t need to be initiated into them to have a nice time (I sure wasn’t).
There’s no combat, but there are many other systems and areas to unlock that make the game feel deeper than it originally looks.
It also has multiplayer, if that’s something you’d use!
My wife is in love with Disney Dreamlight Valley! It’s like animal crossing but with Disney characters and in full 3D. She dresses her character up differently every few weeks. She looked like a reindeer for December/January, and it was so cute! They’re very heavy on the fairy/cozy decor aspect, and while the expansions are paid, they do have free updates every 3-4 months.
She also recommended Calico, which is an indie cat cafe sim at heart, but you also get to dress like a magical girl, design your home, ride around town on animals like giant foxes, dogs, red pandas, more cats, etc. Very cute and relaxing.
On Your Tail is a cute mystery game set in an idyllic Italian seaside town with beautiful storytelling and character development.
She seconds other comments encouraging Haven, pulls the heartstrings and relaxing with minimal combat.
There are also the HerInteractive Nancy Drew games, which are older but fun female-centered mysteries. She recommends Phantom of Venice and Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon.
I really like the Style Savvy games on Nintendo. I started late with the one on 3DS but planning to get the Switch one eventually. They’re nice and comfy games and since it sounds like you may already have a Nintendo, could be an option.
I will warn you that the platforming can be challenging, but if it’s too stressful Celeste offers almost unparalleled accessibility options that will allow you fine control over the difficulty so no matter your skill level you’ll be able to progress.
Great story, cozy atmosphere but still emotional impact, and the only “fighting” you do is against yourself.

I’ve never played it but ‘Pony Island’ seems to have a pink color scheme and I’m guessing it’s about ponies, so maybe?
Even as a guy, I love the new Hello Kitty game.
My significant other loves it even more. Lmao

That Dead or Alive beach game
It’s all about girls!
Manhunt is a classic girly game
Doom is the only right answer. That soft pink mist as the light catches the spray of blood from your vanquished enemies.

Calico, maybe 🙂
Unpacking
The atelier games
Transformice!
Team Fortress 2 is a fun game about hats. There is a combat element, but it’s not really the important bit.
I can’t recommend Celeste enough, personally.
I will warn you that the platforming can be challenging, but if it’s too stressful Celeste offers almost unparalleled accessibility options that will allow you fine control over the difficulty so no matter your skill level you’ll be able to progress.

Amazing game, highly recommend Celeste
If you like puzzles, and greenery instead of pink:
Botany Manor, which is fundamentally about the feminine urge to go alone into a giant manor and grow some cool flowers
Terra Nil, which is about going to a desolate planet and using the power of technology to grow some cool flowers
Monument Valley
