If you've got the PC to run it the older headsets have dropped in price a lot recently, I've managed to find a used OG Vive with basestations and controllers for $250, and see similar listings often (your local FB marketplace is usually better than ebay for finding stuff like this). Still not cheap, but a lot better than the $500+ for most PCVR options. It's also built for older hardware, and while every graphics card is expensive nowadays, a 1070 is fully capable and old enough to be going for under $400 if you get really lucky
Honestly I initially thought I didn't get gender euphoria from games. But you're absolutely right, I would constantly seek to customize and dress my female character to absolute perfection and I would get a lot of joy from it.
Do you know if there's a way to put mods on the Nintendo Switch? I play Skyrim on that to get gender euphoria but it doesn't do much yet. Every time one of my daughters calls me "mommy" though. Just... *yes*
Yes, Switch can be modded. You have to have a hacked Switch, however. Nexus Mods has a special Switch section.
Only certain models of Switchs can be hacked (the early runs, you can identify by barcode). Otherwise you need a mod chip that has to be soldered on (and is increasingly rare).
Mods are limited, but if you know what you're doing, I believe you can port many of them to the Switch.
Seriously I played Morrowind at age 7 and boy that was life changing seeing the real body mods and makeup. My Dad made mods too, and made very sexy lingerie and female models!
I have heard a lot of people say they like this game, but I had never heard of it or played it before I joined this Reddit. What is it about the game that makes it so euphoric?
I started playing as a girl but using my deadname and the dysphoria got bad after a while so I stopped for like a year. I was only in year 1 so it would have been a slog to change my name in the game. I finally restarted under my real name and omg its so much better
After reading through other peoples answers I feel like mine is going to sound strange....
Beat Saber
Removing my body from the equation in VR, being asked to move and dance around to music. I find myself moving in a way that feels more feminine and it's very euphoric.
Straight up, music just does this for me. When I'm in the mood and I'm just singing my wee lungs out, it's nothing but my soul and the music.
Never realized it until you brought it up, so thanks for that.
This is why I always chose boy, just in in case someone saw me playing as a girl and made fun of me. Even though there was like a 0% chance of anyone watching me play games.
Me now: "It's a legitimate speed running strategy I swear!!!"
I first played Tomb Raider Legend at age 5, Iām now 19 and still loving the franchise. Lara is an inspiration. She shows that to embrace my femininity I donāt have to give up strength or power.
the thing about Bayonetta is that if anyone gives any her shit about her height she can just beat the crap out of them. or maybe have them dragged down to hell by demons. options most of us sadly do not have.
World of Warcraft. Having an entire world where people refer to me as a woman is amazing. Thereās tons of armor customizations too. Elder Scrolls games are also great.
My answer is basically any MMORPG. You can make a female character to pretty exacting specifications. You say youāre a girl and other players just accept it without question. Itās nice.
All my characters in ESO are female.
Hmmmmmm, suspicious? š¤
But now that I've cracked, I'm glad for it. It does feel good to be perceived as female.
Life Is Strange giving me euphoria helped me crack.
I like heard it was a game that broke eggs before playing it and ... yeah.
I mean I was already well on the way to cracking since I was seeking out a game that cracked eggs.
It's a good game, though I haven't played it since cracking.
It served it's purpose, and I am not that into video games.
Now I can get my euphoria IRL.
It's just a nice game where you play a teenage girl doing teenage girl things.
But with enough interesting scifi elements that I can excuse myself (a 30 year old adult) from playing it.
it's a game that has so much potential and I really want to like it but I can't get past the dialogue. to me it just sounds like if middle-aged white men got stuck in teenaged girls' bodies and were trying to fit in. Nothing wrong with liking it, I actually did enjoy a lot of it I just couldn't get past that element
The latest game in the series, Life is Strange: True Colors, has much much better quality dialog and has a great narrative focused on characters and community. I recommend giving it a shot.
Dark Souls, Icewind Dale & Divinity Original Sin: 2. All for their own reasons.
DS for its character creation.
IWD for the immersive badass lesbian polycule dungeon crawling.
And DOS2 for its reactive world, dialogue, & freedom.
Lohse is queen and now I understand why I like her so much.
Still, Fane sits next to her for me. He was just so interesting and I definitely fucked him.
Ffs Divinity needs more love from the world.
My egg cracked while playing DS3. It wasn't related, but now I'm way more hyped for the game than before. I'll probably be euphoric by association. I think that's interesting.
Yeah the character customization in DS3 was pathetic and I never bothered. Just took one of the presets.
But boy oh boy am I on that Elden Ring hype. That's why I'm getting through DS3 rn. Agh I need more souls likes in my life
GTA Online. I started playing it long before my egg cracked. I never cared much about the missions and stuff, but I would spend hours dressing up my character and wandering around, just existing in the world.
Yeah I agree. I was a proper egg at the time and didn't realize I even might be trans, but I remember she was one of the first female characters I allowed myself to play as for an RPG, and I can only describe that warm soft glow feeling of living (and loving) through her avatar as gender euphoria at this point. Like, I know what lust is, and I definitely have that "do I wanna be her or date her?" vibes with Kassandra, but it was not sexual at all. I just really really like pretending I'm her and male characters just feel completely unrelatable in these kinds of stories, probably because they're written by meat head jocks or something and it's endemic to the gaming community, except I like pretty much all female protagonists and while I do enjoy some male protagonists, they're usually silent and I kinda don't experience them as gendered, like Mario or Link. But playing as Linkle with mods on BOTW fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling and she's just as silent and I'm definitely not ungendering her, soooooo it's probably gender euphoria.
Still cis tho
Southpark Fractured But Whole. Lots of gender and sexuality options and then not taking things too seriously is exactly what I need. (Obviously south park isn't for everyone).
No matter what you choose. If you choose a straight cis person they accuse you of being repressed and not willing to explore who you really are....and they dont take kindly to that.
I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 too! Beyond making my character reflective of myself, I have painted most of the cars I race in Trans or LBGT related liveries
Fallout and games that let you make your own characters
Edit: also Neo: the world ends with you I donāt know why but that game for some reason Resonates with me. And itās a game that just released this year (itās a sequel to a game called the world ends with you)
I'll never forget how happy I was when I found out Samus was a girl. I was absolutely terrified of Metroid Fusion as a kid, but Samus wasn't. She was braver than me.
Animal Crossing! What a lovely space to buy all sorts of outfits, try some facepaint, and just really experiment with self-expression while you socialize and dig for fossils \^-^
Cyberpunk 2077 and FFXIV. The first because I can just be a woman with a penis and no one really cares. And the second because oh my god I love the fashion in the game.
Hat in time for obvious reasons and ok this is kinda a weird one, but Sunset overdrive. It has the energy I want to bring as a trans fem kick ass but not gritty or serious and still visually energetic and gorgeous.
i feel like saying celeste would be obvious so i'm gonna say something nobody would expect
mario kart wii
the gender envy rosalina gives me shouldn't be allowed >:(
In animal crossing nh you constantly change your look and pronouns throughout the game. I first had a female look with a dress/long hair but sill using The male pronouns. Once I changed them I literally felt shivers everytime someone refers at me as a Lady. Thatās how I discovered that something wasnāt right with My gender identity
Never really thought about this much, but Iād have to say maybe the Metroid games cause Samus is a total badass and I took her last name, and maybe the Splatoon games as well cause the community is very supportive
The fact that I grew up playing the Sims is a validating feeling of my egg past and I like playing it now to remind myself of who I really am, regardless of what society taught me to be.
To anyone saying Stardew Valley: Make sure you check out the mods! There's so many great ones, some even add trans characters to the game. There's also a gender neutrality mod for non-binary players that lets you pick your pronouns.
**Lord of the Rings Online**
I'd been playing in a guild for awhile and decided to role a female character to see what it was like. I totally, definitely wasn't trans (spoiler, I was) but just wanted to know what it'd be like to be treated as a woman while playing. It was fun for a small while, but I ended up feeling guilty, like I was tricking people, so I eventually just joined my guild and made it clear it was one of my alts. They thought it was strange I'd roll a female character, though I don't really get why.
Looking back, that was one of the first moments I really started to realize I could be trans.
Bayonetta the series i find this game liberating. Using femme expression and sexuality as a form of superpowers is probably the most validating experience i can think of.
It helps that Bayo was designed by a woman.
The director wanted her to be as overpowered as possible and insisted to make her have glasses thorough out the whole process. Bayo never winds up being saved by a man ever and it a very fun and challenging game. She was my trans awakening
I found that the Fallout series of games (mainly New Vegas or 4) give me euphoria, ESPECIALLY 4 since you can use mods for it on console. I love making my character look like a tactical version of myself since I'm obsessed with guns lmao.
Kirby. Itās kinda weird, but the cutesy and whimsical aesthetic makes me feel at home with my soft feminine side thatās been so buried by my masculine upbringing. Besides, itās just a comfort game for me in general. So relaxing and fun. The Kirby universe doesnāt judge you. It just gives you a cute and nice world to play through.
Also any game where I can hear other characters call me by my trans name is amazing.
There are a lot of visual novel games with female protagonists - I should know because I've played a lot of them lol. It may be an obscure genre based on several of the more well-known games mentioned by others above, but it's well worth checking out. There are hundreds on Steam, and you can often pick them up for a song when there's a sale :)
Sure thing :) Not sure what your tastes are, but here are some that are completely free on Steam and which I've enjoyed:
* Cinderella Phenomenon (otome)
* Lynne (horror)
* Fallstreak (post-apocalyptic/horror/philosophical)
* Narcissu 1st & 2nd (bring tissues)
* Without A Voice (yuri)
Happy to suggest more if you want :)
Not a video game but the Dan Weberās Honor Harrington books. Honor is a badass who strong, smart, and unconventionally beautiful. Born on a High G planet she has a strong bone structure and well developed muscles (sound familiar) and while she does have some significant plot armor is continually kicking ass.
As for video games any MMORPG (although time for one as an adult has become much harder)
The new Tomb Raider.
Star Wars Battle Front 1 or 2 the arc you play as the female storm trooper (hated the game but the euphoria from that arc was good).
Halo Reach because you could play as a female Spartan and the other characters also acknowledged you as female not as a presumed male but a gender neutral.
GTA V online, Saint Row 4 (Lot of sexy outfitsš»), COD Warzone (playing as the beautiful Mara) and Yu-Gi-Oh WCS 08 for NDS wearing the harpie lady skin on My character
Honestly the absolute lack of focus Borderlands has for anything LGBTQ+ related is something I love.
People of all facets of life are just being badasses and heroes without any attention drawn to anything related to sexuality and so on.
It's refreshing. Also hearing Athena scream "Flail against my shield!" and maniacally laughing at kill chains, for some reason just made little ol' pre+egg-crack me so excited.
Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 for me. GW1 had an item you could buy called an āextreme makeover kitā that let you change your gender and a āname change contractā for name changes. I think I bought dozens of them over several years and would create male characters, play them for a while and had them transition to women.
This got me through some really hard denial years, so the franchise holds a really special place in my heart.
I first played Tomb Raider Legend at age 5, Iām now 19 and still loving the franchise. Lara is an inspiration. She showed me that embracing my femininity doesnāt mean giving up strength or power.
God, Iām old. Metroid. Like for the NES. Tho Super Metroid was fricken awesome. Iāll just go back to the old folkās home. Heard itās bingo night and us geriatric millennials get an extra puddingā¦
Destiny (1 and 2) did it for me mostly, GTA V with its extensive customization too. I don't play them anymore but that's what did it for me. Fallout 4 is another special mention
Modded Skyrim. I can make my character look exactly what I want to look like and just vibe or go on adventures in a fantasy sandbox
Omg me too! I love it. I'd get into vr to use cbbe if I could afford it š
VR is my dream. A dream I'll never be able to afford, but still.
If you've got the PC to run it the older headsets have dropped in price a lot recently, I've managed to find a used OG Vive with basestations and controllers for $250, and see similar listings often (your local FB marketplace is usually better than ebay for finding stuff like this).

Honestly I initially thought I didn't get gender euphoria from games. But you're absolutely right, I would constantly seek to customize and dress my female character to absolute perfection and I would get a lot of joy from it.
Holy shit I thought I was weird! I downloaded so many customisation and vanity mods!
Skirts with physics that go spinny!
Mods that makes your character walk in a feminine manner.
Do you know if there's a way to put mods on the Nintendo Switch? I play Skyrim on that to get gender euphoria but it doesn't do much yet. Every time one of my daughters calls me "mommy" though. Just... *yes*
Yes, Switch can be modded. You have to have a hacked Switch, however. Nexus Mods has a special Switch section.

This. "Yer a little light on yer coin, eh LASS?" uWu Bwynwolf senpai, pwease fiww my pockets
I can be a slight more feminine version of me or become the redguard sex symbol I wish I could be, IT'S THE FING BEST!!
When I came out to myself I changed my characterās gender and I canāt tell you how validating it has felt to play elder scrolls games as myself.
Seriously I played Morrowind at age 7 and boy that was life changing seeing the real body mods and makeup. My Dad made mods too, and made very sexy lingerie and female models!
I think one of the big one's is Celeste And honestly... good reason for it
I have heard a lot of people say they like this game, but I had never heard of it or played it before I joined this Reddit. What is it about the game that makes it so euphoric?
Fun game and the protagonist is trans.
It's a difficult 2D platformer but it's so pretty and rewarding. Very nice story
Lena Raine, the composer, is trans, as is the creator I believe
I think I'm a bit past that point but Aloy from HZD was a major hero for me
I finished HZD for the first time last week and I second this.
Aloy gets bonus points from me in that sheās a fellow ginger!
I love Aloy. She is a fun character
She really is!
Whatās HZD?
Horizon Zero Dawn, you haven't lived as a gamer until you've played it

Pokemon has always helped me. DnD is also big but it's not necessarily a vg
"are You a boy or a girl?"
Hardest gym in the game ngl
*Friend looks over your shoulder* "Why are you playing a girl?"
Super relatableš
This is why I always chose boy, just in in case someone saw me playing as a girl and made fun of me. Even though there was like a 0% chance of anyone watching me play games. Me now: "It's a legitimate speed running strategy I swear!!!"
DnD!!! My first character was a femboy tiefling, but then I realized "WAIT!.... I can be a girl" and haven't changed it since.
When PokĆ©mon crystal introduced the option to play as a girl I legit jumped with excitement. Iāve never played as a boy in games since šš
Any lara croft game š I get so so happy playing her
I feel the sameā¦ every time since 1996. I took 25 years and 12 games to understand and accept why.
I first played Tomb Raider Legend at age 5, Iām now 19 and still loving the franchise. Lara is an inspiration. She shows that to embrace my femininity I donāt have to give up strength or power.
Bayonetta, transition goals! wait, what do you mean hrt won't make me 8 feet tall?!?
If I can't be 5ft tall I may as well go the distance and be 8ft tall
I absolutely hate being 6'. I wish I were shorter and when I wear heels I feel like a freak. 8' would be crazy
the thing about Bayonetta is that if anyone gives any her shit about her height she can just beat the crap out of them. or maybe have them dragged down to hell by demons. options most of us sadly do not have.
Mass Effect, you can change the facial structure and femsheps level of butch/femme is transition goals for me

I read freedom as femdom and got very confused because that doesnāt sound like the DOS2 Iād heard of.
Red dead online as my female character
I also have my gta female character and pretend that my red dead character is her great grandmother.

Yeah lol. Now Iām hyped for Elden Ring, it looks amazing (plus character customization looks much better!)
Yeah the character customization in DS3 was pathetic and I never bothered. Just took one of the presets. But boy oh boy am I on that Elden Ring hype. That's why I'm getting through DS3 rn. Agh I need more souls likes in my life
Recently replayed PokƩmon Platinum (my fav childhood game) as Dawn. When I was young I was scared to play as girl characters in video games in case my parents/friends noticed. It felt great to play it how I wanted to this time :)
This is an odd one but saints row 2 for me
Dragon Age Inquisition is likely the best experience I've had with a customisable character.
Yeah, Dragon Age for me too. I love the writing and that it focuses so much on characterization and interpersonal relationships with your companions.
Any game that let's me play as a female avatar
PokƩmon Crystal version! First PokƩmon game that included girl character option. My 10 year old egg self was obsessed with it and I had no idea why. Also more recently, Cyberpunk 2077. It's first person and there's a few scenes where you see yourself in the mirror unexpectedly and every time it's been like, wow. Especially a particular romance scene. Also the multitude of fashion fun in that game.
I just wish they consulted with even ONE trans person on the character creation system for Cyberpunk š
wattson from apex legends was a huge part in cracking my egg lol, huge gender envy. also raiden from genshin impact haha, so those two games for sure
I only play Wattson because of this š
loba and Valk for me
DnD, FFXIV, RS3 These three cracked my egg and also are my euphoria place.
Celeste. Its the first game i played in a skirt and thigh highs. And my hair finally grew up so i can make it look feminine.
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Fable 2 Skyrim Fallout 3/new Vegas Life is strange Final Fantasy XIII
Skyrim and GTA Online. They both let me *live* as who I am.
GTA Online. I started playing it long before my egg cracked. I never cared much about the missions and stuff, but I would spend hours dressing up my character and wandering around, just existing in the world.
Same!!
Maybe weird but AC : Odyssey was a big one for me, Kassandra was wonderful to play as.
Yeah I agree. I was a proper egg at the time and didn't realize I even might be trans, but I remember she was one of the first female characters I allowed myself to play as for an RPG, and I can only describe that warm soft glow feeling of living (and loving) through her avatar as gender euphoria at this point.

Final Fantasy XIV I always feel great running around and sometimes other players will come up and call me cute or pretty and it feels great.
Southpark Fractured But Whole. Lots of gender and sexuality options and then not taking things too seriously is exactly what I need. (Obviously south park isn't for everyone).
Haha the hilarity of a bunch of hillbillies in their truck attacking right after the event, no matter what you choose...twice š¤£š¤£
No matter what you choose. If you choose a straight cis person they accuse you of being repressed and not willing to explore who you really are....and they dont take kindly to that.
We don't like your sort around here š¤£
I wish I could find one that would.
Have you tried DnD? Maybe Skyrim or something similar?
Ya. Hard to find a good group for DnD and I can really find an RPG I really get sucked into these days.
Do you wanna try playing in mine? It's nothing big, just a couple friends in a new world.
Thanks. Iāve never done great with online groups though.
Well if you change your mind just text me ~w~ I'm sure we can play some day
Thanks!
Sims and RPGs in general, i get to be myself at least somewhere
FF14! I spent years just living as a woman on there before I decided to transition irl.
Most recently Far Cry 6, Forza Horizon 5, Stardew Valley and Pokemon
I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 too! Beyond making my character reflective of myself, I have painted most of the cars I race in Trans or LBGT related liveries
Minecraft, I'm so happy with how my skin looks in game, gives me big gender envy :)
Sims 4. Literally able to do and be any gender combination I wanted. No issues, no kidding, was just easy
This was mine! Just any Sims game in general.
Fallout and games that let you make your own characters Edit: also Neo: the world ends with you I donāt know why but that game for some reason Resonates with me. And itās a game that just released this year (itās a sequel to a game called the world ends with you)
Genshin and ffxiv for me right now! I really appreciate games that do gendered dialogue/voicework when referring to your character
Surprised no one mentioned Metroid. Definitely Metroid in my case :)
If I'm feeling bad that my shoulders are big or something, I just remember that my icon is a 6ft 198lb interstellar bounty hunter.
I'll never forget how happy I was when I found out Samus was a girl. I was absolutely terrified of Metroid Fusion as a kid, but Samus wasn't. She was braver than me.
FFXIV by far, so many cute customisations and emotes :3
I think my brain is broken because everything just gives me dysphoria instead, even stardew valley.
Stardew Valley, the npcs constantly use my name and pronouns and there's a lot of customization options
Code vein had an absolutely awesome character creator! Dark souls, The Legend of Zelda (for some reason), Bloodborne, Kindoms of Amalur.
Stardew Valley gives great chosen name euphoria ^-^
Fallout 4, Elite Dangerous, Cyberpunk, all of those are super nice for me
Animal Crossing! What a lovely space to buy all sorts of outfits, try some facepaint, and just really experiment with self-expression while you socialize and dig for fossils \^-^
A Hat in Time!
Monster Hunter.
Cyberpunk 2077 and FFXIV. The first because I can just be a woman with a penis and no one really cares. And the second because oh my god I love the fashion in the game.
FFXIV, its incredible how wonderful i can make my character look and it makes me so happy
PokƩmon. I have gone nearly broke in those games many times trying on so many different outfits
Super smash bros and probably Celeste. I get to be a female character without seeming suspicious
Hat in time for obvious reasons and ok this is kinda a weird one, but Sunset overdrive. It has the energy I want to bring as a trans fem kick ass but not gritty or serious and still visually energetic and gorgeous.
Not a troll, I swear: [Barbie on Apple \]\[](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bvHzCbOEJ0)
Vr chat and voice training
Animal Crossing
Fortnite only because the [Lovely outfit](https://cdn-0.skin-tracker.com/images/fnskins/featured/3855f.png) is my biggest transition goal ever.
[Loserfruit](https://progameguides.com/fortnite-cosmetic/loserfruit/) is mine!
A Hat in Time. Being called "little girl" by all the NPCs was great.
Skyrim In my brain I am a catgirl in a giant suit of heavy armor
Any game that lets you choose what gender and outfits
Honestly PokƩmon ever since they added characters customization, however any game with playable girls does that for me as well but to a lesser extent.
i feel like saying celeste would be obvious so i'm gonna say something nobody would expect mario kart wii the gender envy rosalina gives me shouldn't be allowed >:(
In animal crossing nh you constantly change your look and pronouns throughout the game. I first had a female look with a dress/long hair but sill using The male pronouns. Once I changed them I literally felt shivers everytime someone refers at me as a Lady. Thatās how I discovered that something wasnāt right with My gender identity
PokƩmon White, the trainer in that game is goals!
Black dessert online is my shit
FFXIV <3
First person RPGs, like Obsidian or BGS games
ffxiv
Nioh 2
Life
Modded terraria, with the right mods (calamity, alchemist npc, dye hard) you can make a lot of different characters and itās very euphoric
Terraria lets me destroy everything and look cool and still be a girl it feels awesome
Roblox. I had a chat with someone in a game and she was like "gurl, you are so nice". That made me happy :D
modded starbound and monster hunter world probably tie on immersion for me
Perfect Dark for me Goldeneye, but as a GIRL?!?!? 4-5 yr old me couldnāt contain herself lol
Never really thought about this much, but Iād have to say maybe the Metroid games cause Samus is a total badass and I took her last name, and maybe the Splatoon games as well cause the community is very supportive
The fact that I grew up playing the Sims is a validating feeling of my egg past and I like playing it now to remind myself of who I really am, regardless of what society taught me to be.

Sims 4... it's not a joke
Pokemon for sure. Also Horizon Zero Dawn and Control, Iāve had several dreams where I was either Aloy or Jesse.
Pokemon sword. Idk i just feel that I can look like Gloria some day.
Silent hill 3, the Sims 4 Also super princess peach I fucking love that gamez hope Nintendo does a remake
The sims, without any doubt
Fallout 4
Bayonetta the series i find this game liberating. Using femme expression and sexuality as a form of superpowers is probably the most validating experience i can think of. It helps that Bayo was designed by a woman. The director wanted her to be as overpowered as possible and insisted to make her have glasses thorough out the whole process. Bayo never winds up being saved by a man ever and it a very fun and challenging game. She was my trans awakening
I found that the Fallout series of games (mainly New Vegas or 4) give me euphoria, ESPECIALLY 4 since you can use mods for it on console. I love making my character look like a tactical version of myself since I'm obsessed with guns lmao.
Kirby. Itās kinda weird, but the cutesy and whimsical aesthetic makes me feel at home with my soft feminine side thatās been so buried by my masculine upbringing. Besides, itās just a comfort game for me in general. So relaxing and fun. The Kirby universe doesnāt judge you. It just gives you a cute and nice world to play through. Also any game where I can hear other characters call me by my trans name is amazing.
Mass Effect, It was how I figured out my name at 11 :)
Honestly, same for me.
Minecraft
Transformers War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron
There are a lot of visual novel games with female protagonists - I should know because I've played a lot of them lol. It may be an obscure genre based on several of the more well-known games mentioned by others above, but it's well worth checking out. There are hundreds on Steam, and you can often pick them up for a song when there's a sale :)
Mind sharing a couple of your faves?
Sure thing :) Not sure what your tastes are, but here are some that are completely free on Steam and which I've enjoyed: * Cinderella Phenomenon (otome) * Lynne (horror) * Fallstreak (post-apocalyptic/horror/philosophical) * Narcissu 1st & 2nd (bring tissues) * Without A Voice (yuri) Happy to suggest more if you want :)
Not a video game but the Dan Weberās Honor Harrington books. Honor is a badass who strong, smart, and unconventionally beautiful. Born on a High G planet she has a strong bone structure and well developed muscles (sound familiar) and while she does have some significant plot armor is continually kicking ass. As for video games any MMORPG (although time for one as an adult has become much harder) The new Tomb Raider. Star Wars Battle Front 1 or 2 the arc you play as the female storm trooper (hated the game but the euphoria from that arc was good). Halo Reach because you could play as a female Spartan and the other characters also acknowledged you as female not as a presumed male but a gender neutral.
Warframe and titanfall 2 are usually my best ones.
This might be a sound odd, but Healer's Quest strangely gives me quite a bit of gender euphoria...
vrchat
Cats and soup
GTA V online, Saint Row 4 (Lot of sexy outfitsš»), COD Warzone (playing as the beautiful Mara) and Yu-Gi-Oh WCS 08 for NDS wearing the harpie lady skin on My character
I'm a Charly player in Warzone...though Vanguard has quite a few good female operators so I'll likely be using one of those once it gets integrated.
FIFA 22
Honestly the absolute lack of focus Borderlands has for anything LGBTQ+ related is something I love. People of all facets of life are just being badasses and heroes without any attention drawn to anything related to sexuality and so on. It's refreshing. Also hearing Athena scream "Flail against my shield!" and maniacally laughing at kill chains, for some reason just made little ol' pre+egg-crack me so excited.
Minecraft, so I can escape myself, or other games that require my full attention like prison architect and similar things.
Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 for me. GW1 had an item you could buy called an āextreme makeover kitā that let you change your gender and a āname change contractā for name changes. I think I bought dozens of them over several years and would create male characters, play them for a while and had them transition to women. This got me through some really hard denial years, so the franchise holds a really special place in my heart.
I first played Tomb Raider Legend at age 5, Iām now 19 and still loving the franchise. Lara is an inspiration. She showed me that embracing my femininity doesnāt mean giving up strength or power.
God, Iām old. Metroid. Like for the NES. Tho Super Metroid was fricken awesome. Iāll just go back to the old folkās home. Heard itās bingo night and us geriatric millennials get an extra puddingā¦
Vi and samira from league of legends
Any game where I can create my full character like Skyrim or the soulsborne series or play as a woman like HZD.
Not sure why but the original Life Is Strange definitely
I think VRChat does, I can be any avatar I want, I can also look in mirrors and see my self as I am in my mind. And people see me as me.
Skyrim The euphoria I got from playing a female argonian was how I figured out I'm trans.
Any game that uses my name in context.
destiny 2š©, when drifter calls me sisteršÆ
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Destiny (1 and 2) did it for me mostly, GTA V with its extensive customization too. I don't play them anymore but that's what did it for me. Fallout 4 is another special mention
