Bejeweled 3 is one of PopCap’s greatest achievements, and it’s (I think) the last game they worked on before getting bought out by EA. Arguably the best match-3 ever made.

I’m also considering starting World of Warcraft Hello Kitty Island Adventure. I’d play it on my phone, but I don’t like that it’s tied to Apple Arcade.

finished my first playthrough on the "default" cat of this game relatively recently after... just over 80 hours on the save.
i took so long because i went around finding allll the little optional baubles and befriending lizards.

An interesting female protagonist going around an equally interesting and gorgeous world, plus you can change her outfit, there's a lovely soundtrack and (actually) witty writing? It'd be more of a surprise if it had no women liking it! That and there's a lack of darker-tinged girly things these days, so women especially gravitate towards it.

Speaking of Madness Returns, it'd be my "girly" game of choice aside from the first game or something more offkilter and artsy like The Path. I have my issues with its direction in regards to its writing compared to the first installment (especially how you can tell Bumby wasn't planned when the first game was made and got added retroactively), but I can forgive it some knowing that McGee was already clashing with EA prior to that and during MR's development.

I still have it on steam. I’ll give it another try

Had a steam friend from Mexico who was a girl that introduced me to it and would always complain “ugh she has the perfect body”
 
It's not explicitly girly but any other Death Stranding fans 'round here? I played it when it first launched and loved the hell out of it, and have been very much enjoying playing again now that the director's cut is out. I find it very soothing. Nice to just pick up some deliveries after a long day.

Great game, hoping the sequel adds more finesse and fashion, and more ways to deliver.

I'll add one if it hasn't been mentioned already, Stardew Valley and Terraria. Relaxing games.

should i play this?? i've always kind of eyeballed it from afar..
the concept of sort of slowly taming the paths that you take over and over is interesting.

🧩🧩🧩every time i've ever played minecraft with anyone else i've always been the one that does autistic tasks like decorating uniform tunnels or paths through areas. i just find it almost soothing to turn some guy's dirt staircase into one made of chiseled blocks with perfectly spaced lighting and making a cleared stone path through the forest if it's frequently traveled through🧩🧩🧩
 
Look, hear me out before you disagree, ladies. Conan Exiles. It has everything a girl could want. Homesteading and house decorating? Check. Extensive outfit and character customization? Check. Mods galore? Check. That dickhead NPC pissing you off? Put him in the torture wheel and make him a slave at your autistically decorated dream home, or take him with you on your adventures as a meat sponge so your dainty ass doesn't get hit. He sucks at his job? Take him to the character customizer and give him the tiniest cock ever seen. It has a fairly impressive physics engine too btw, dick and balls flap in the wind. You haven't lived until you see your pseudo-African man slave's sack ragdoll as a giant crocodile throws him halfway across the map.
 
Cattails and Cattails: Wildwood Story (sequel) are two very cute games that I would recommend to anyone who like cats and SDV-esque aesthetics/gameplay. Much smaller game, maybe a bit autistic since its original inspiration is the Warrior Cats series, but that's fine by me since it was my favorite book series growing up - and I still enjoy the idea of funny little cats in their silly towns acting just like humans.
Its been a while since I played the original game, but I know that Wildwood has farming, dating, mining, hunting, and you can even have little kittens with whichever cat you choose to marry. You can also befriend the cats in your colony and have them join you for hunting or combat, customize your town, customize your "house", etc. I love this game. The cat sprites are a little silly looking, but the portrait art is cute.

Also, Glimmer is pretty funny:

Red Dead Redemption.
Seriously, it's actually way more for girls than for m*n.
Horses: You can find all sorts like white Arabian and you have to tane them. You can then ride them, keep them brush them. Get saddles, feed them, bond with them.
You can collect flowers and herbs and make perfumes. You can make scenic screenshots. You can dress-up, you can make journals. It's seriously the best thing relaxing and playing rdr from your bed, especially when there's rain ticking against your window and you put the heater way up.

Shadow at the Water's Edge scared the SHIT out of me when I first played it. I was a big HER Nancy Drew fan and none of the other games had been that scary. Can't believe they got away with that bathroom scene for an E-rated game. I was playing on my laptop in the dark and I remember slamming my laptop shut.

Did anyone end up playing the newest one? I didn't realize they were still releasing Nancy Drew games, but 32 dollars is pretty steep for a mixed rating.

I've heard it's shit. I'd rather not taint my memory of HER Interactive. They took a very long hiatus from releasing games and there were some big changes with the company that caused a lot of drama. It's been years now so I don't recall everything, but they fired Lani Manilla, the VA for Nancy, and changed the interface.

Funny thing is I recently interviewed some SOF guy who did some time working on software for HER Interactive back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Was going to ask him what that was like and decided not to bring it up since I was having to let him know he wasn't a fit for our current job opening anyway.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite games, though it is an odd mix of different game mechanics and a schizo story, so it's not for everyone. I tried to replay it and couldn't get into it, so might just be a one and done for me. I got really invested in Sam and I did cry a little at the end. I am afraid the sequel will be bad because it looks 2x as weird.

Edit to add I am doing a fully evil playthrough of BG3 and was discussing it with some friends and giggling over some of the romance scenes, and by comparing notes we realized that almost all of the scenes between your character and men are fade to black and lack any graphic nudity, while the love scenes with females have genitals all out there. We truly still live in the shadow of the patriarchy.

I haven't played any other "girly" games lately although I plan to return to Book of Hours. It has consistently foiled me.

I started playing Terraria for the first time recently and it's actually really fun. I think it's sweet that the creators are a husband-wife duo.
I finally beat the empress in daylight and master mode, twice. I am unstoppable :smug:

I love the Cook, Serve, Delicious! games. They are typing games, but you can use a controller in the newer entries. The dev is going to remaster the first game so I'd probably wait for that version, though the third one is my favorite because it's faster paced and I love the food truck wars in a post-apocalyptic U.S. theme. The difficulty is variable, but if you're trying to get all gold medals it can be challenging (especially in the second game). The soundtrack for the third game is one of my all-time favorites, too.
 
Skimmed the thread quickly, so apologies if they've already been mentioned, but RPGMaker horror games: Ib, The Witch's House, Mad Father, Yume Nikki and all of the fan spinoffs like 2kki and .flow. I haven't played Omori yet, but I really want to. I never got around to playing Ao Oni either, but I had friends who really liked it. Wadanohara has some of the prettiest character designs I've seen, but I couldn't get into the writing. Yume Nikki will always be my favorite game of all time and I really hate how trannies have latched onto it, to the point where the "Madotsuki is trans and the whole game is about dysphoria and the plight of trans women" theory has become popular. And now there's a popular tranny musician that goes by Uboa, so you see him when you google search Uboa now. Yume Nikki belongs to the girlies.
