Games with a playable female character are noteworthy because, although women make up roughly 50% of the world's population, games which feature playable female characters make up far less. And even those few games that do feature a playable female character often have her as a single female in an otherwise all-male cast, or simply change an M to and F in s status box. Since having a playable female character is a novel concept, I have made a category for it on my Wiki.
Games which feature a playable female character often also have a strong female character, though not always.
Examples
These are games that are important to me which feature a playable female character. For all games, see the category.
