5 Great Games Starring Female Characters. depends who you are today

Recently the term “strong female character” doesn’t come up too often in game descriptions, and I don’t agree with that. There are many examples in the entertainment industry that prove that women can not only be an addition to a story, but also a part of it. leitmotif.

In this article, I have collected 5 games that are worth playing primarily because of the main character. well-developed female characters.

Interesting adventures await you. depends on who you are today:

1. Desperate Amanda Ripley from Alien: Isolation

Let’s start with, perhaps, the best works based on them. “Alien: Isolation” is a survival horror game with stealth elements. The events in the games between the first and second films are traditional for the Alien universe.

The main character Amanda Ripley is the daughter of Helen from the film Alien. She lost her mother due to the events in Alien, but it’s not the morning she hopes to learn her fate. Amanda works as a tug technician and prefers to remain in space, where the Nostromo disappeared with her incarnation on board.

Main events at the Sevastopol trading station, where a black box with the missing Nostromo was unexpectedly discovered. However, there is a problem: the once winding station now looks more like a cemetery. There are two reasons for this: androids that have gone crazy, and a xenomorph that mercilessly kills the remaining people.

Alien: Isolation is worth a try, even if you’re not a big fan of the source material. At least because this is a very intense, complex and very scary project with an interesting story, where you really become very attached to the main character.

2. Stalwart Fredgille from Death Stranding

On the site I (and not only me) it has not yet been said that Death Stranding is a masterpiece and the so-called base.

But today I would like to pay attention to Fredgile. She may not be the main character, but her story is almost deeper and more dramatic than Sam Porter’s story. In terms of supernatural abilities, Fredgile is stronger than Sam. She can teleport and see monsters with the naked eye.

Fredgile’s biography was overshadowed by tragic events. She lost it early and her father was forced to take over the management of the Fredgile Express company, which successfully served as a courier service. However, at the moment there has been a terrorist attack, the details of which I cannot disclose. In addition, one of the game’s antagonists treated the heroine very cruelly.

But Fredgile, whose name means “fragile” in Russian, will not break, but on the contrary, will become Sam’s reliable companion and one of the main characters in Death Stranding.

3. Dangerous Ada Wong from Resident Evil 4

In a good way, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and several other characters from the great Resident Evil series should be mentioned here. However, in my personal opinion, Ada stands above all.

By the way, these are just pseudonyms for the spy. Her real name is unknown, as is her past prior to the events of 1998 in Raccoon City, where she first met Leona Kennedy. There she turned the head of a young policeman and betrayed him by faking her death, all in order to make a spectacular appearance in the fourth part of the most popular zombie series.

In the game, Ada not only plays a major role in the plot, working on all sides of the conflict at the same time, but also has a place in the gameplay. Wong’s mission will be playable in its own story campaign. Ada was responsible for a number of events that Leon encountered during his mission, and without her help, Leon was unable to save the President’s daughter.

Ada Wong is not only the main character of the Resident Evil series, but she is also the perfect combination of charisma, cunning and danger. It is thanks to her presence that the game series seems popular to this day.

4. Determined Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn

Aloy often wears the so-called “SJW industry products“, but I don’t quite agree with this. In the overall ninth historical series of Horizon, the character turned out to be interesting, and for Aloy’s story (and great pictures) it’s worth watching the Sony exclusive.

What about Aloy? She is a young girl raised in post-apocalyptic tribes hundreds of years after our time. Since birth, she has been an outcast in this society. As she grew older, the heroine trained her warrior skills to rid herself of the stigma from her tribes and learn the circumstances of her birth and exile from that community.

After surviving an assassination attempt and narrowly escaping death, Aloy sets out on a journey to learn more about the unknowns who attacked her tribe and the reasons behind the attack.

She also strives to save the world from gun violence again. In the course of their adventures, the mechanism of the uprising of the machines is revealed, and for this it is worth completing the first part of the game for this plot twist.

5. Great Ceresa from Bayonetta

And we will end this collection with the legend of a crazy and truly great witch named Cereza, as well as Bayonetta, from the slasher trilogy of the same name. Partially, coincidentally, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, where, by all accounts, there are only games for children about Mario and Zelda.

Bayonetta was created to be the polar opposite of Dante, the protagonist of the Devil May Cry series. If he is a man, then we have the hottest woman here, whose clothes consist of her own hair. What does Dante have, a sword and two pistols? Wonderful! Ceresa uses 4 pistols, two of which are attached to her heels, and in the opening scene, 24 pistols are used in sequence to dispatch enemies.

Dante fights demons, and Bayonetta destroys angels, and does it as inhumanly as possible, not forgetting to make caustic comments and be naked (unfortunately, censored) to use magic.

And she also has a white cowardly man at her beck and call, who carries out all her orders.

But behind all this madness and pathos there is a fairly deep and emotional character with an interest in history. It was not for nothing that Cereza was sealed away for 500 years and made to lose her memory.

The plot of the trilogy is great, but I can’t talk about it without spoilers, so I highly recommend trying the game for yourself. Even if it’s not poured in, it will definitely give you several hours of typing a hurricane slasher with an interesting combat system.

All the girls are beautiful, they deserve all the attention

And that’s all for today. Yes, there are only 5 games to choose from, but this is only because even these projects take a lot of time and give a huge amount of emotions.

I personally can name a few other female characters that I really liked. In addition to them, who I have already written about are Jesse Faden from the game Control, Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 and, of course, Zelda from The Legend of Zelda series of games.
