Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she's unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it's not too violent, it should be fine

Satisfactory.

She's fearless

She conquers a planet

She's an engineer

This one's been on my list. Didn't realise it's a female protagonist

Don't think the gener is specified anywhere so it could be either. Anyways, amazing game.

Most people miss it, because it doesn't come up and isn't pointed out. She just is, that's all. I think that's pretty amazing.

It's kinda obvious once you look at the model, though:

Also, the character designer said in an interview that they decided to make the pioneer female.

Interesting. I wonder if this will have more of an influence on the story if/when that is made.

You can only tell by seeing the player model but the devs have confirmed it. Not a whole lot of dialog or story so hard to tell.

Game does get pretty complicated quick and I’m not sure a 5yr old could pull it off solo, might be fun for her to watch you though

Plus, it's coop!
