Played two pretty girly games recently, Summer in Mara and Spiritfarer, I'd recommend both.

Spiritfarer will probably make you cry, but in a good way. You pilot a boat and help spirits, but there's also farming and crafting and exploration.

Summer in Mara is also piloting a boat, but you're a little girl who lives on an island and helps complete little quests for the animal and human and alien residents of nearby islands. Again, there's farming and crafting, and you can customize your island a lot which is fun.
 
I play bits of everything with my favourite/most played game being Skyrim which isn't girly, but I definitely like a lot of 'girly' stuff
Tetris has been an all time fave of mine that I know many people associate with women liking.
I've always loved Harvest Moon games, hoping to get the remake Story of Seasons a Wonderful Life, I still have the PS2 Harvest Moon one and Back to Nature on PS1.

I like hidden object games cause I'd always play them with my nan as a kid.
The Sims is also a game series I always have liked, annoyed that after Sims 2 on PS2 I had they seem to have gone back on allowing there to be piercing options for your Sim without modding on PC.
Got a funny Sims related story where when I began dating my boyfriend he was telling his friends how I'm cool because I play video games and a lot of ones guys play and his friend was like "she probably just plays the Sims" which my boyfriend denied and at that same time they had the Steam thing of me happening to launch Sims 3 at that exact moment.
I keep having horrible restartitis with ACNH but been doing alright with my current island so far and feeling pretty good about it. I keep feeling bad if I leave the game too long, I hate having my villagers be sad or mad at me for not talking to them for ages and that's usually why I keep restarting.
I also sometimes use a Flash game archive thing to play games like Papa's Burgeria again and other weird flash games I used to play as a kid.
I also enjoy a lot of those weird merge phone games.
 
I bought Little Misfortune in the Steam sale and it was excellent. She's a little lady and you can use your glitter to sparkle the world a little better. Game is about 3 hours and very story heavy.

I loved Love and Berry: Dress Up and Dance! at the arcades as a kid, mostly for the cute cards that the machine gives you for you to play on it.
wanted to get a DS copy of the game as a kid with the card scanner but my parents said no (:_(
 
My husband tries to tell me that the Atelier series is very feminine but I don't really agree. To my knowledge I've never met another woman who liked them. I can see why they look girly to him, but...the only other people who seem to like them are fellow weeaboo dorks.
Here's the logo design thing of my favorite Atelier for people who've never seen the series before.

Without looking like divershitty quota western indie trash? I wish. I could go for one. I played New Horizons an ungodly amount after 2.0 came out and I finally burnt myself out of it. Now I can't stand how inconvenient it is to craft one by one or only order 5 things at once.

It’s a fujo franchise. Even the most fujo franchises in the most fujo friendly countries are at most 60% women. Even then, it tends towards those being a loud minority.

Slow pace, low stakes, combat plays itself with nearly endless prep potential where you buff allies in the main loop? It’s a girl game, even if it’s western fanbase are mostly skindentation appreciators.

You’re probably thinking of Barbie As The Island Princess. I’ve never played it but I saw the movie and it had a talking peacock character in it.
 
Cooking and Gardening Mama I guess, really good intuitive controls. I used to play a flash game from big fish games or something called cooking academy, that was very similar to cooking mama with those intuitive minigames on pc browser. They should expand a bit on the non cooking activities a bit though like the shopping management stuff.
 
Since I've been spreading the gospel of emulation and Chinese emulation handhelds lately, I figured I'd talk about some SNES games that I've known girls to like.

Harvest Moon started on the SNES. I haven't played that version since the 90's but apparently for purists it's a tie between that and the N64 version.

Final Fantasy 3 and Chrono Trigger are popular with girls that like RPGs, as well as Mario RPG. Zelda as well, obviously. I only know of one that liked Earthbound, but it seems like that one would catch on if more people played it.

The Mario game of choice is Yoshi's Island, though, with Mario Kart coming in close second. Donkey Kong Country and Mario Allstars are also huge hits with women I've known.

I'd be curious what games from that era the women here are into. Reject modern goyslop, embrace the classics. Take the chink pill.
 
Been playing a lot of Ranch of Rivershine, and it's a solid early access game, it's just...boring. But for some goddamn reason I keep playing it, grinding the same races over and over, riding through basically-empty maps. It's hypnotically cozy. Send help.
