Yeah. I haven't played 1 much beyond the first 10 minutes, was too janky. 2 was mostly focused on the war, with Geralt being the most important character IMO. In 3 he was no longer THE most important character, but he was a close second - out of a large cast of supporting characters that aided them on the way.

Honestly the longform books take a similar approach, telling several very important people's stories from the perspective of how their stories intertwined with Geralt's and later Ciri's

Also, Tomb Raider. One of the most well known videogame characters is literally an ass-kicking woman.

The main bullshit complaint I've seen about the Horizon games boils down to "Aloy doesn't make my peepee hard". There are dudes out there who only want to see women they can goon to.

have people not played the Horizon games? They’re awesome, they’re fun as hell.

I have actually not. Thank you!

Female protags are rare. They used to be epic loot, but it's getting better now.

I guess it's Portal for me too. Then Oblivion with a female character with that golden armor from shivering isles for shiny boobs. I was a horny teen and porn was getting boring lol

Cranky brooding swordsman is kinda a one trick pony. It's brilliant and hilarious to respond to everything no matter how threatening with just a grunt or dismissive comment, but after 3 major games, it's time for something else

Tomb Raider is not a woman protagonist game though, at least in the first game they wanted to have Indiana Jones but didn't got the rights to it. So the developers replaced the assets with a female.

In whole series there is not much that makes her a woman, more like an American gun-maniac guy that looks like a girl.
