Echo

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Echo the dolphin? Hell yeah. Female protagonist, insane story that nobody sees coming, impossibly difficult first couple of levels to the point that most people never got past them. Brilliant.

I should have given more context 😅 Actually, I was referring to this one:

Play Gris, if for no other reason than the art. It's just so beautiful.

I reply it from time to time. I love it!

Seconded

The only game that comes to my mind now that hasn't been mentioned yet, would be Tchia. Very sweet game.

The Great Giana Sisters!

Pokemon, anything equal or newer than crystal.

I enjoyed the chill, stylized vibes in Sable. Coming of age, botw-inspired exploration, beautiful world. No (?)Combat—I don’t remember fully, but very little at least. Just explore, experiment, and engage the world around you. A passable world-build/story too!

Alba is a very cute and relaxing game, but it's good! And the eponymous main character is a little girl.

Skullgirls!

Soul Hackers 2 is a nice little palette cleanser of an RPG. Not as expansive as other Megaten games but it kept me engaged all the way through. The main party are all adults too which is a nice change of pace.

Extremely retro, but currently available on the Mac App Store: Mess O' Trouble. It was a WorldBuilder game--think Infocom, but with static pictures you could interact with. I believe your choice of Daredevil Dawn or Fearless Frank had some impact on the gameplay if you got far enough, but child me never did.

Does this game exist on other platforms?

[–] hoyland@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Doubtful, though it might be possible to emulate System 6 or System 7 and get it running on Windows or Linux.

Final Fantasy X-2 comes to mind. I didn't finish it, but it's well-reviewed so...

If you're into farming and dungeon delving, Rune Factory 4 has a female protagonist option.

[–] GraceGH@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Rune factory 4 actually came to PC as of 2021 so you don't have to own a 3ds to play it anymore. I'm currently playing RF5, and I'm enjoying it.
