Best free "female protagonist" games

Some video games feature a female character as the protagonist—whether as explorers, princesses, or something entirely different. While it’s less common than having a male lead, there are notable exceptions, with the Tomb Raider series standing out as the most iconic example. Interestingly, freeware games seem more inclined to put female characters in the spotlight: Iji, Hyper Princess Pitch, and Knytt are just a few titles that showcase women in the main role.
