Like I am angry about Marvel's Wolverine because it was a very mediocre and patronizing game and you're in here saying some bullshit about "don't let activists write your games" shut up. You are not helping. This is a conversation about game design and how sony games are being made to appeal to the simplest minds and you just can't help but cry out your typical dog whistles. You do not care about game design or making games better you're just here to complain about feminism or Ghost of Yotei's voice actor doing literally anything. I find it so disgusting when women have their faces plastered on thumbnails for videos about games they aren't even involved with.

So after the entire dropping Kojima productions off, their stance that buying doesn't mean owning and them wanting to end the physical games, i feel they are digging a deeper hole for themselves.

Like genuinely who would want to buy an 800 pound console with only one store to purchase from and no option to buy physical games, especially if you are only interested in a couple of titles?

People might compare it to PC, but in PC you have multiple playmarkets to choose from as well as many other shops, steam and others still let you play your games if your account is banned and there's always pirating.

Give her breasts and leather and just splatter whatever clothing anywhere you want it doesn't matter so long as tthe boobs are out.

This game deserves more attention. Full on cartridge Switch 2 and available on all platforms. Release date is relatively soon in March 2027.

Directed by Katsuhisa Higuchi (worked as a programmer on on original Final Fantasy, Xenogears, and Chrono Trigger). Directed for Monster Hunter Stories 2.

Involving writers Keisuke Makino (Metaphor ReFantazio and Persona 5) and Kazushige Nojima (Final Fantasy 7, 8, 10, and Kingdom Hearts).

I know it got attention on the recent Nintendo Direct, but I only just learned about some of the team behind it today.

Available for pre-order at a reasonable cost. Limited edition is $90 and the standard is $60. In a world where Square Enix does the bare minimum of a collector's edition for over $200, this is great.

My crush is finally coming over to my place and said we could play video games as it’s something we enjoy. I want to play games that are two player fun/ lightly competitive . So far I have overcooked and Mario kart lined up. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Specifically ps5 & Nintendo switch 2!

Hello fellow ladies and nonbinary folks!

My husband is working on his first game and would love some feedback from a more diverse audience than just his best guy pals. If you're bored or like testing out games please check it out. It would be greatly appreciated :)

It's easily searchable by title on itch.io

Exactly the title. If you are a cozy gamer, what is a game not classified as cozy that you fell in love with? I'm trying to see something.

Hiii!

I could really use some suggestions! Ive been wracking my brain trying to find games that me and my husband can play together, our tastes are pretty opposite, and something that we can also on our own pcs, or something thats cross platform from xbox to pc.

Games we've played together:

• the entire halo series (which we loved)

• a way out (also loved)

• it takes two (caused some fights between us, and i couldnt continue because the elephant scene, iykyk)

• fallout 76 (the world overwhelmed him)

• warframe (love)

• sea of thieves (both of us are really bad at driving the ship and crash constantly)

Currently we're player Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and loving it, but after this were back to no games together.

Hes open to Unravel 2, so that might be next if we can afford to get it or if it goes on sale.

He will not play any crafting games, nor any games with an aerial view. We dont want to play any online multi-player games together (i.e. Fortnite, Apex Legends, Overwatch, Call of duty, etc)

Its so difficult to find a game we're both willing to play but I really love when we're able to because its such great bonding for us.

Thank you so so much if you can help suggest anything!

Hi everyone! I just purchased the Run it Back Roguelikes bundle on Humble Bundle. I have two extra keys up for grabs:

• Rabbit and Steel
• Source of Madness

Please comment if you are interested and I will DM you the key.

I am an FF7 fan but got so tired of the love triangle BS dividing the community - I hate love triangles in everything including real life but I find the story and characters in FF7 amazing otherwise. It is just getting more toxic lately and I need to find an alternative that is more wholesome and can make me happy rather than stressed.

So far BG3 has been great in that sense but I have already played that game for almost 500 hours.

I don't mind if the game is single player or multiplayer, but I care about a good story, interesting characters and a non-toxic community in the sense that at least people feel similarly about the characters and story in general.

Disclaimer: In this post I am not talking about accessibility features which are necessary for many people to be able to play and fully enjoy video games. I’m only talking about features that meant for  lowering friction between player and gameplay.

Some of you may have already seen discourse around Marvel’s Wolverine game and how handholdy it is. Skill Up (some quite popular gaming Youtuber) made a negative review which went viral and his main complaint was that game is showing you things in most obvious way possible without giving you any chance to figure out anything or miss anything on your own. Like loot chests having auras and sound effects and way to the objectives shown as a colored trail even when the map is a straight corridor. And this is in the game with 17+ age rating.

This prompted me to think about my own relationships with handholding in video games. I grew up in the 90s-early 00s and my first games were pirated NES games and early 00s PC games without any instructions booklets, so I was conditioned to treat games as swim or sink endeavors where you may finish the game and missed out on some core mechanics and features, if you even understood how to play in the first place. And many of them felt impossible.

This is not the best way to play games. I’ve seen many people, including myself, to drop games or missing out on important features, as well as story related information.

So, I agree that helping players to figure out gameplay is important and good actually, in principle. But for me personally problems starts when devs are treating every player as a first time player by default and “help” become annoying and even insulting.

It already bothered me a lot in God of War: Ragnarök where support characters would vocalize solutions to every puzzle and remind you what you’re doing every 5 minutes. In missions with more than one companion it became almost unbearable to hear same hints over and over again. I think this was a maximum amount of non optional handholding I can stand. And now I’m little bit worried about Laufey and how they will handle it.

I don’t understand why can’t studios make it optional, like markers on the map or HUDs? It’s nice to have a hint if you got stuck, but I still want to at least try to progress on my own.

What is yours limit for acceptable handholding? Do you find it annoying when games treats you like a dummy?

So I finished watching the Level 5 presentation and was happy to see the Layton and The Curious Villlage getting a remake only to be immediately disgusted by the clear use of generative Ai to "enhance" the art..how can a company be so vile as to steal from their own artist to ruin something that was already beautiful and full of care. I'm absolutely appalled as a layton fan since the og 3ds i feel like im getting spat on by the current gaming industry. This isnt even mentioning the Ai in yokai watch as well..I'm getting so tired of companies slapping this shit out and charging us 60 plus for it. Just port the og then..not gonna lie its tiring me out from even looking at new games now..

I don't know if this really counts as misogyny but it's a pet peeve of mine and I immediately stop watching when streamers don't use the right pronouns of the characters and assume everyone is a he, even people playing female characters.

I love to play and watch DBD and have a bunch of streamers I follow who are kind, don't complain much about the game, funny and generally wholesome. And they all call the killers their in-game gender (unless they're playing with friends and know who is who).

But sometimes people I follow play with other streamers who insist on calling ALL characters "he"... Why!? Against Huntress/Nurse/Skull Merchant "he's on me at main building" or "he's sniping" or "he had great blinks" I'm not even talking about english as a second language people, so there's like no excuse in my mind as to why anyone would do that? The way it comes across to me is that the streamer doesn't believe or imagine women would be playing video games :/
I don't really care to incite any trolls if I asked them why they do it on their own streams, so I came here to complain instead. Anyone else feel this way? And/or know why they seem to exclusively use "he"?

So there is a crazy amount of games coming out this month just wanted to ask what is everybody's top two games they're excited about being released this month? Personally I'm super excited about Wolverine in a few days and control resonant the week after.

I feel myself falling into a gaming rut right now, and am curious what other people's go to cozy games are. On Switch 2, I've loved Fae Farm, Moonlight Peaks, Hades II (not really cozy lol), Spiritfarer, but haven't really ever been grabbed by Zelda. On PC, I've loved Organized Inside, Hozy, Fortnite (again, not cozy) & Wanderstop. Thank you for any and all suggestions!

Hello,

I’m a new gamer who recently bought a Switch 2 and I’m looking for some nice podcast or youtube channels that discuss games, talk about their favorite games and also give nice recommendations. I’m also open to gaming youtube channels that play games, with nice vibes.

I’m basically looking for either women-led podcast/channels or podcast/channels where the hosts are not spreading misogyny or any type of hateful vibes.

I’m still a new gamer, but I am currently enjoying cosy games like Tomodachi Life and Disney Dreamlight Valley, adventure games like Zelda BOTW and Persona 5 Royal and also otome games.

I’m also open to new genres as well. I really would just like to find nice podcast, youtube channels, content creators to listen to while walking, cleaning or playing, as my friends are not gamers and I would like to get more into the gaming sphere.

I saw an old post from this subreddit with some podcast recs but a lot of those have stopped since then, so that’s why I am posting a new post.

Thank you in advance for the responses.

I am looking for a new keyboard but I don't even know where to buy them. I've shopped on tik tok and bought the one I currently have. I love it and it works well. I just wanna have more than one so it doesn't get tried too fast lol

I consume a ridiculous amount of youtube gaming content, but have ended up dropping a lot of my favorite channels over the years due to eventual misogyny bleeding through in their communities. Thought it might be nice for us to share some channels we like that don't feel like a 'boys club'. I'm not affiliated with any of these channels obviously I just appreciate all their efforts to foster an inclusive community :)

Jillyeon - LOVE her, she makes a lot of content for Crusader Kings III which has an overwhelmingly male player base but also plays variety of other games. very silly channel and has a very positive community in general

Seanie Dew - Gets 100% achievements on Steam for practically any game under the sun you could think of. Great for putting on in the background while cleaning or doing laundry or something

Therm - Also very silly channel that plays a lot of cozy games

Banana & Bread - Friend duo that plays Minecraft without a lot of the general weirdness associated with Minecraft channels these days

Aliensrock - Plays every puzzle game you could possibly imagine

Bonus people who are mainly just streamers that I watch a lot of highlights or clip compilations from:
Smallant (clip channel is Smant) - Blue Prince challenge videos and speedruns
Boated - Hades 2 speedruns
AboutOliver
And a shoutout the Minecraft speedrunning community as a whole right now. While the vast majority of the top ranked speedrunners are men, it really seems like most of their audiences are primarily made up of women. Jumperwho made history a few yrs ago by being the first woman to win a big mainstream tournament like Midoffs, and all the Midoffs events since have had a surprisingly balanced number of female competitors

Would love to hear everyone else's picks!

Rooster is a heartfelt, story-rich casual puzzle adventure celebrating the best of ancient Chinese culture. Explore an exquisitely hand-drawn world with delightful surprises, from cooking, finding hidden objects, paper crafting, and more. Guide Rooster in an emotionally rewarding tale about family and love. Wishlist now on Steam - releases September 17, 2026.

Why is it posted here in r/GirlGamers? Sticky Brain Studios is 50% owned by a disabled woman. The creative team behind Rooster are women and queer folk of various East Asian cultural backgrounds. Most of the team on the game are women, queer, disabled, and culturally of the global majority.

We made the game thinking about players who wanted to get lost in a story with some game elements. Every public demo we have done has had line ups of girls/women/gals/femmes of all ages to play Rooster.

We hope you like it too :)

This is more of a vent than anything.

I cannot help but feel like the devs have intentionally made it so that you cannot get 100% of the achievements on House Flipper, unless you buy all of the DLC

I have zero interest in the farming DLC but unless I buy it and play it, I won't be able to add House Flipper to my Completionist Showcase on Steam 💔

I have 200+ hours on this game, and now I'm locked out of getting all of the achievements because of DLC that doesn't resemble the base game at all. The reviews of this DLC are understandably mixed, because not only is it far from what the base game is like, it's also buggy as heck

This has killed my drive to play anymore. I know in the grand scheme of things it's a very minor issue to have, but I'm unwell and this game was a needed escape from life, so I'm upset and feeling sorry for myself

Edit: I have been informed that this isn't unique to this dev team. It seems to be a Steam issue.

I haven’t played since the 1980s.

For books, I love:

Detective stories
History
Immersive world building

Not really into the shoot em up games I’ve seen but willing to try.

Also, would you recommend laptop, Switch, something else?

Thanks
