Girls love gossips, doing their nails and hair, and spending hours shopping. – Thankfully, we’ve been past that stereotype for a long time. Just like cars and football don’t fascinate every male, not every female obsesses over light topics and pink color. Many of them can’t wait to get back home, turn on their favorite video game, and tune out.
There’s no specific video game niche that’s reserved only for those with the XX chromosome. Therefore, our goal was to pick games that fit different generations and preferences. Although there are no rules. Some girls have a blast slaying the bad guys, and some like to chill and enjoy in aesthetical and relaxing releases. Here’s our pick!
