Going Under. It's a goofy rougelike game which parodizes corporate companies and startups. You play as an unpaid marketing intern who needs to kill monsters from failed startups, but she applied for marketing,

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
Most games I can think of have been mentioned, but I found Signalis to be an interesting experience assuming you can get past the annoying inventory management

The code realize games are pretty good. Also gonna shout out Pretty Princess Party and it's sequel Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island. They're both on the girlier side of things but don't get as much attention as they should.
"good" is subjective, but I can recommend the Tomb Raider reboots.
Resident Evil Remake 2 and 3, great games with both male and female protagonists!
Stardew valley is fun
If you're into the anime aesthetic: Nier Automata, Atelier series, and Recettear. I think FFXIII is fun but people would argue otherwise.
Recettear is something I recommend too, as it's really unknown for how good it is. You play as an item shop owner (who's a young girl) that has to make a profit from making and selling items, and there's a dungeon crawling elmenet too.
I recommend CrossCode. It's a puzzle-heavy top-down action-RPG. Think 2D Zelda games, but faster paced and sci-fi themed. You play as Lea, an amnesiac who's trying to recover her memories by playing a fictional MMO called CrossWorlds. I love basically everything about it: the art, the music, the characters, the story, the puzzles, the level design; it's just great.

Alien: Isolation!
Castlevania: order of ecclesia
Cross code
Oceans heart
Alice games
Stardew valley
Aquaria
A very well put together Metroidvania. The map is very fun to explore, good boss fights, great music, and interesting story.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is still a thing...
The entire Tomb Raider series, but Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, just make her feel so believable and relatable.
Gravity Rush
Final Fantasy X-2 comes to mind. I didn't finish it, but it's well-reviewed so...

Metroid: Fusion is pretty fun!
Played Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin recently
fantastic game. The platforming is fun with surprising depth. The Rice mechanics have way more depth than I can stand, but it's still forgiving enough that you never feel severely punished for messing up.
i love this game, glad it was really successful too, I wanna see more from those devs. felt like a 2D Okami spin-off

A lot of good suggestions here. Remember Me and Mirror's Edge are also good, perhaps not as great some of the truly outstanding ones already posted though. But if you're looking for something with a cyberpunk edge, both will fit the bill nicely.
This is a very obscure one, but there is a mod for Freespace 2 called Blue Planet: War in Heaven which has an amazingly well written story and female lead.
The modern tomb raiders are pretty decent.
Seconded. And I'd say they're more than pretty decent. They have amazing level design, particularly with respect to interactions with the level. Eg, you jump on a ledge and the ledge might start to break. Think stuff like that, repeated dozens of times in various ways.
Lara is pretty cool. She has that kinda inquisitive yet "I wanna help everyone" power fantasy that I relate to. They did also try to make it like she doesn't want to kill bad guys (which is realistic -- it's weird more video game characters have no qualms with the first time they kill someone), but it is a video game where combat plays a prominent part, so it doesn't really work when Lara is kill people by the dozens.
