She's not the only strong female protagonist in the game though, with players also getting to spend quite a bit of time in the shoes of the game's main antagonist, Abbie. Some of the events in the game didn't sit well with everyone, nor was Abbie a particularly popular character. Even so, her inclusion allowed the developers to tell a very different type of story than the one found in the first game, with viewers encouraged to reexamine their thoughts about Joel and Ellie.
Perspective can sometimes be incredibly important, and that's definitely the case when looking at events through Abbie's eyes. The first game in the Tales series, and the first real big-budget JRPG, to feature a female protagonist is also the best Tales game in years. Tales of Berseria tells the story of Velvet Crowe, who grows up in a quiet village that is soon ravaged by daemons brought on by an event known as Daemonblight. While the original Tomb Raider games did feature a tough female protagonist, she was also skimpily-clad and busty.
She is incredibly human. Lara is still excellent. While Samus may not be an outstanding character in terms of her writing, character development, dialogue, and interactions, she is an excellent character when judged on her actions.
From game to game, Samus and the player visit myriad planets, each with their own dangers to survive and mysteries to uncover. Her suit and ship designs also remain some of the coolest in gaming history, untainted by time and nostalgia. In each of the four mainline games, white man Drake teams up with older white man Sully to fight off hordes of their fellow men. While Drake is not overly masculine, he can still become tired as a character, and so the release of Lost Legacy as a game that allows players to finally embody fan-favorite supporting character Chloe was a welcome one.
A real refreshing experience. While she might be all skimpy clothes, suggestive comments, and the occasional streak, Bayonetta is undeniably a tough woman. In fact, she laughs in it, kicks it, and grinds it into the dirt with high heels which are also guns and sometimes swords. Bayonetta has fun in every moment of combat, and you the player are having fun right along with her.
Her posh English accent and her librarian glasses wonderfully juxtapose her frantically murderous actions. Her obsession with style melds perfectly with the obsession of the game itself with substance, making for a perfectly balanced action game.
Ah, Ellen Ripley. Amanda is tasked with using her wits to outsmart her pursuers, one of which is the deadly hunter xenomorph, as she hides, crafts, weapons, and learns her environment in order to survive.

Despite the whole game being an hour in total, Before I Forget leaves a lasting impact well after completion. Even the Ocean is an indie 2D narrative-driven action platformer designed by Marina Kittaka. It is a socially-conscious game that follows a power plant worker on her journey to cleanse the dark energy from her city. Gauntlet removes the story from the game, while Story removes the gameplay.
The dialogue is good, and the gameplay is very good, fluid and clever, if a little slow to ramp up in difficulty. Bioshock and Bioshock 2 are first-person horror shooters developed by 2K Marin and published by 2K Games. Bioshock and Bioshock 2 are certainly up there with our favourite games of all time. From its twisting storylines to its survival horror gameplay, and an expertly-achieved immersive world, there are barely any criticisms we could pin against it.
Alyssa Finley, was project lead and Executive produced both titles and the remasters. She is also credited with producing several Telltale games and other titles. Left 4 Dead and its sequel are multiplayer survival horror games designed by video game designer Kim Swift.
Many will be sticking with their OG console line, while others might see this as a great opportunity to try something new. Inadvertently, I've fallen into the latter. Thanks to Microsoft, my next-gen experience is with the Xbox Series X and it's library of games featuring strong female leads. I was lucky enough to get early access to the Xbox Series X, so I've spent the last two weeks finding out just how immense its capabilities are.
The latest console certainly sets the bar high for graphical power and processing speed, but as the launch of its exclusive title Halo Infinite has been pushed back to , it's difficult to forecast exactly how the Series X will change the gaming landscape. For now, what it does provide is a welcome lack of loading screens, infinitely faster frame rate, and the "quick resume" ability to jump in and out of games. What else can players look forward to with the Xbox Series X this month?
Well, you can play optimised versions of titles that are also being released on Xbox One — Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and Watch Dogs: Legion are the major pulls here.
Both games do feel seamlessly smooth and visually stunning on the Xbox Series X, despite not being specifically built for the console. The Xbox space for girl gamers is also starting to feel more inclusive, with strong female characters taking charge and leading narratives in many games. With my month Game Pass Ultimate, I've discovered that the library of favourites is enormous, and includes some of gaming's most empowered women — my top picks include Mass Effect and Control.
Here's my shortlist of the top 10 games to play now on Xbox Series X, featuring inspiring female characters.
