              metroid
returnal
beyond good and evil
the FFXIII trilogy (yes they're good and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise)
Bayonetta
A lot of the Resident Evils
Celeste, bonus points for being very gay as well
Half-Life: Alyx
Tales of Berseria (if you like anime stuff. the protag's outfit is trash but she's probably the best Tales MC IMO)
Telltale's Walking Dead
Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The female protag is canon as far as I'm concerned
Night in the Woods
Control
Nier Automata
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Signalis

Great list. I would also say most RPGs, if they're any good, will give you the choice -- Mass Effect, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity, the Divinity games, etc.

Lots of adventure games as well -- The Longest Journey/Dreamfall games, Life is Strange, Whispers of a Machine, etc.

Honestly, the number of games where you're trapped playing a lantern-jawed, grunty doofus is way, way less overwhelming than it used to be, which I really appreciate.

Kena is so good

i actually haven't finished it! i need to get back to that. it was surprisingly difficult

It's funny, I really liked the outfit for Berseria. Something about a not well-groomed-in-the-middle-of-fights look stood out from the crowd.

Shoutout to signalis, can't believe I had to scroll so far to find it mentioned. It's probably the single game that had the most impact in me in the last year.

Amazing soundtrack, story, themeing, and has a lot of respect for its inspirations whilst greatly building upon them. Chopin's prelude in d is forever etched in my mind and this is now my favorite quote:

Great holes secretly are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.
