If you’re into web-based games and enjoy exploring lesser-known titles, feel free to take a look at https://gaming.inlinestyle.it/
It’s part of a broader project called InlineStyle, a small EU-based open cloud platform.
We’re slowly expanding the catalog with browser-friendly, open-source games (no ads, no telemetry), including some hidden gems like:
Celeste Classic
LBreakoutHD
SD Snatcher (fan-translated MSX game)
Daggerfall (classic Elder Scrolls II in-browser)
and a few narrative/weird picks like DreamWeb and Flight of the Amazon Queen
We are currently also working on adding support for touchscreens so that the games can be played from phones/tablets (point&click adventures are amazing on tablets)
⚠️ Guests can already play a few games, but registered users get full access plus cloud saves, so you can pause and resume from anywhere.
No cost unless you want to support the project (€1.90/mo, no lock-in).
While you’re there, you might be interested in the other services too. It’s kind of a digital home for FOSS-minded users:
This is the one, playing through 1 for the second time right now and it’s just so good. It’s my first time as female Shepard and I think I like her more than male Shepard!
Gotta love anything with Jennifer Hale. My male Sheps are always more physical, like Soldier, and my female Sheps are always more biotic. Tho, no matter how hard i try, I’m almost never very renegade-y.
In my headcanon, DOOM 2016’s player character was a genderless force of anger incarnate. No boobs, but power fantasy for sure.
In that vein, if you wanted indie games, you could look for any recent boomer shooter like Viscerafest (yes girl), Ion Fury (yes girl), or Selaco (yes girl). Searching for the “boomer shooter” tag on Steam seems to yield a lot of female protagonist power fantasy games
The only boomer shooter I’ve played lately is Prodeus which doesn’t have a female protagonist but can definitely exemplify the strengths of the boomer shooter subgenre

Come, come, Oh come,

Come, come, Oh come,
Do not let me die.

Working my way through act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3. I feel like I’ve done just about everything in the Temple of Shar except the ::: spoiler spoiler fight against Balthazar. :::I tried it a couple times but got whooped a little too easily. Shadowheart is a beast though. She’s usually the last one alive when I try it. She can take out all the mobs by herself. It’s gonna take the whole squad to win the fight. I need to get my party up a level or two. Me being a defenseless bard is pretty tough. In all my attempts I’ve been sniped turn one with little recourse to get revived.
Then on top of that I’ve put time in AI Wars 2 and fighting games. AI Wars 2 is so cool. Complete information overload and a wonky UI but it’s got the addicting qualities I like in video games.
Tekken has been calling me as like a stress reliever. Then the Marvel announcement yesterday made me fire up Strive and SF6. I might put real effort into Strive this time. I’ve always wanted to but it’s never quite clicked like SF, and Tekken. And yes I installed DBFZ out of sheer joy yesterday. That rollback better be good.
I’m not sure if Rollerdrome might be your thing, but I enjoyed it. You play as a girl competing in a roller-skating death arena. It’s a bit like Tony hawk games, but combat plays a huge role, it’s very satisfying and it’s very well integrated with the rollerskating. I really enjoyed the first ten or so scenarios, but I’m not so good at score based games so I never finished it.
