              metroid
returnal
beyond good and evil
the FFXIII trilogy (yes they're good and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise)
Bayonetta
A lot of the Resident Evils
Celeste, bonus points for being very gay as well
Half-Life: Alyx
Tales of Berseria (if you like anime stuff. the protag's outfit is trash but she's probably the best Tales MC IMO)
Telltale's Walking Dead
Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The female protag is canon as far as I'm concerned
Night in the Woods
Control
Nier Automata
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Signalis

Great list. I would also say most RPGs, if they're any good, will give you the choice -- Mass Effect, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity, the Divinity games, etc.

Lots of adventure games as well -- The Longest Journey/Dreamfall games, Life is Strange, Whispers of a Machine, etc.

Honestly, the number of games where you're trapped playing a lantern-jawed, grunty doofus is way, way less overwhelming than it used to be, which I really appreciate.

Kena is so good

It's funny, I really liked the outfit for Berseria. Something about a not well-groomed-in-the-middle-of-fights look stood out from the crowd.
