So my other half is reaching the end of Cult of the Lamb and needs something new. Most of my recommendations have been hits, but I’m a bit unsure of what to suggest next.
Games she likes:
Borderlands 2 (loves this) Borderlands 3 Wonderlands Terraria Pokémon (most of the recents except the chibi remake) Shin Megami Tensei V Slay The Spire Diablo III Skyrim Divinity Original Sin 2
Preferably Switch games. Tends to avoid brighter simplistic aesthetic games (Pokémon tends to be an exception). Also really prefers to play a female protagonist. Has already seen me play through Control and Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, and isn’t really interested in Metroid Prime.
Thanks for the help
Bloodstained Ritual of the Night is a fun game with decent amounts of customization, the player character is female, and the games length and content is probably more than enough for most people, though it is a metroidvania style game so if she isn't into metroid like games she might not enjoy it. It can also require some grinding to fight some enemies/bosses, but otherwise enjoyable.
I second this, just take note the Switch version had/has some issues compared to mainline console versions such as Playstation and Xbox.
