Mirrors Edge/Catalyst? Sorry I missed it’s already mentioned.

Phantasy Star On-Line New Genesis (male and female characters).

Ugh Catalyst. I really enjoyed the first one but they messed up in Catalyst: I don't want to sit in front of a loading screen each time I mess up a run. Great game otherwise but those screens made me drop it prematurely.

Portal is an often overlooked masterpiece with female protagonist -- and antagonist, even.

Tomb Raider, of course. Satisfactory has a female protagonist though there's even less characterisation than in Portal.

I've heard great things about both Celeste and Alien Isolation in their own way, though didn't play them.

Then there's a gazillion of games which are neutral, either by giving you a choice (say, Cyberpunk and a gazillion other RPGs) or you can project whatever gender you want into the PC (say, Factorio).

How was catalyst? I loved mirrors edge but the reviews in catalyst warned me off. Did you like it?

I liked it. But I always warn people off of accepting my opinion as anything valuable. I can find reasons to like things… I mean, my favorite color is orange, I liked the Pontiac Aztec, and I’m almost 50. I’m not normal. I found Catalyst enjoyable, I felt I got my moneys worth. If I could get my money back, would I feel I should? No. Would I nominate it for game of the year or hold it up as a classic? No. I feel I got what I paid for.
