Chorus is a space dogfighting game that's quite fun. Has good storytelling. Doesn't pad time with repetitive/recycled quests so progression always feels unique. Some people find the inner monologue of the protagonist annoying but it's fine imo

By NOLF you mean No One Lives Forever? If so a quick search gave me this "revival" site, seeing the Windows targets i bet that runs on Wine

Just an FYI on the NOLF bit...

Not seeing Transistor but if you want a female protagonist that will make you cry your eyes out at the end, I recommend her.

Games As Literature 101 has a documentary that goes into a deep dive about Red as a character.

Also some people used Red's song from Transistor as a wedding song 😃

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.

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

Metroid: Fusion is pretty fun!

Gravity Rush

there's a demo for a game on steam called Laika: Aged Through Blood which has a badass motorcycle mom

Resident Evil 5.

Sheva is a badass.

Some not yet mentioned.

• Heaven's Vault
• Mirror's Edge
• Portal 1 and 2 (technically, though she's mute and it's first person so not that it matters much)
• Slime Rancher
• Spiritfarer

Great lists already. I'll add What Remains of Edith Finch

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

Good is an incredibly subjective term. May be you can try Control. Or, if you're into rythm games and metal, I'd recommend Metal: Hellsinger.
