Games

Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.

We love Knights on Bikes for our girls to play.

Sayonara Wildhearts. I bet she could play it herself

Risk of Rain 2? If I recall right, most characters are female or ambiguous. Noita is another flawless gem.

Are games where gender isn't explicitly defined okay?

Oh! For a solid coop experience check out any of the little big planets. Lots of cute costumes for character customization.

For a gender neutral character I can recommend Toem! It’s incredibly cute and charming.

• Breath of the Wild with the Linkle mod
• Final Fantasy 13
• Maybe Genshin Impact
• Life is Strange
• Little Witch in the Woods

Ōkami.

Well, she's a wolf, but she's the Sun Goddess too.

I think Tchia may be just what you're looking for!

Giana Sisters as female C64 clone of Mario Bros.

There's that Disney dream light game or something like that, definitely seems child friendly.

Celeste. It's tough as nails, but it's so rewarding and the story is.....gah!

Baldur's Gate 3

Gianna sisters: twisted dreams

One I haven't seen mentioned yet, Dreamscaper. Its an action roguelite about a girl who battles her inner "demons" at night and lives her life in a new town during the day.

Beyond good and evil

Tearaway Unfolded on PS 4/5.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

It's very wholesome and relaxing. She can probably play this herself.

Contrast on Xbox market was awesome. Really fun platformer that has an amazing soundtrack too

The Longest Journey / Dreamfall / Dreamfall Chapters. Absolutely magical games.

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

Ms. Pac-Man, but of course!

There's always Animal Crossing and its many sequels... you're not obligated to play as a female, but it's at least an option. Metroid has a female lead, but those games are probably a little beyond your daughter's grasp at the moment.

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 story.

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. :)
