TOP 10 best games to get a girl hooked on video games: action, horror, strategy and much more

Girls have been playing games for a long time, participating in eSports tournaments and often beating guys. But what about young people whose friends are far from gaming? It's simple: turn on the game from our selection, and the girl will definitely be intrigued. Here we have collected a lot of cool projects that will seriously captivate the lady and will be a good surprise on March 8th!

Detroit: Become Human — perfect game for a girl who first sat down at a PC or picked up a gamepad. It impresses with excellent visuals, a dramatic story and outstanding variety. At the same time, we are talking about Quantic Dream's easiest game: it doesn't force you to break your fingers and forgives mistakes. Even if the lady doesn't hit the buttons at all, the story will still develop.

The most important advantage of Detroit: Become Human is the script. If you evaluate it from the point of view of logic, there will be many flaws, but with emotions everything is in perfect order. David Cage managed to fill the game with a huge number of dramatic episodes: the escape of a little girl from her tyrant father, the search for parts in an android dump, the episode with Connor and Chloe. Sometimes even a brutal man will have a hard time not shedding a tear, and girls will definitely get emotional.

At the same time, if your chosen one likes the creation of Quantic Dream, she can take on a repeat playthrough and get a new story. Will the androids start a war or settle the conflict with people peacefully? Will Kara and Alice cross the border or end up in a recycling center? Whose side will Connor take? There are many options: it will take a lot of time to study all the content.

If a girl likes the idea of checking out an interactive movie, but she likes creepy stories more, feel free to turn on Until Dawn. The game was released back in 2015, but is not outdated either in gameplay or technical terms.

The plot of the Sony exclusive is reminiscent of a B-grade horror film. A group of teenagers gather in a large gloomy house to have fun, but troubles are not long in coming. Silhouettes of terrible creatures can be seen behind the trees, some strange person is running around the rooms, and the news is talking about a bloodthirsty madman who is on the loose and is clearly hiding somewhere nearby. Thanks to its variability and skillful presentation, even such a banal story is intriguing.

At the same time, each hero has his own character, and the guys have specific relationships. They constantly quarrel, and also readily recall the choices they made. If you once turn your back on a seemingly kind girl, she may close the door in the face of an unwanted character when he is being pursued by monsters.

Beginners will definitely be able to play Until Dawn and have fun. If you don't complete the QTE, some heroes will die, but the story will still continue.

Life is Strange can also be classified as an interactive film, but the quest component is well expressed. To progress through the story, you need to regularly play against time and solve simple puzzles. All this nicely dilutes the gameplay, but the main dish in Dontnod's creation is the story.

The plot tells about a young girl Max, who returns to her hometown after a long absence. Things are not going well in Arcadia Bay: the most popular girl from the local academy has disappeared, some students are acting suspiciously, her childhood best friend is suffering from adversity, and the heroine often sees in her visions a tornado that is about to destroy many lives.

Max also unexpectedly gained superpower: she learned to manage time. Will this help save loved ones, stop the maniac and make life in Arcadia Bay better? Complex issue.

The script for Life is Strange turned out to be good. The authors should especially be praised for the dramatic episodes: no matter how many years pass, it is impossible to forget Max's journey into reality, where Chloe avoided serious loss.

Anyone can complete the game. It doesn't force you to press buttons in time and doesn't challenge you — except that sometimes you have to strain your brain a little. Otherwise, you just need to explore the world, communicate with characters and make choices.

It Takes Two is a game that every couple should play. Josef Fares managed to tell a great story about relationships, crisis and children. For some, it will really help them sort out their feelings and even save their family. At the same time, the gameplay is also excellent.

When Fares claimed that he would give a thousand dollars to a gamer who gets bored while playing, he was not bluffing. Hazelight's brainchild truly entertains like no other game.

The visuals are constantly changing, sending the heroes to new artsy places, and the gameplay surprises every now and then, throwing up interesting mechanics. In one level, It Takes Two can become a shooter, platformer, puzzle, racing, and even a classic fighting game.

The only problem is that the game can be difficult for a newbie to master. Platforming often requires precision and accuracy. To solve some problems, you will have to act extremely synchronously. Bosses can make you sweat. However, if your significant other is not afraid of difficulties, take the risk — the game is worth it.

Overcooked 2 is a cooperative cooking game. A team of chefs finds themselves in the kitchen and must prepare a variety of dishes: someone needs mushroom soup, someone asks for a burger with tomatoes and herbs, and for someone a bun with meat is enough. Tasks must be completed quickly, and for this each player will have to responsibly do their part of the work.

The trick is that the kitchens in Overcooked 2 are unusual — there are only a few places where you won't have to cook. On ships, where the location of the plate is constantly changing due to pitching. On moving trucks that come and go. On a slippery ice floe, where it's easy to fly past the right place and fall somewhere.

But there are also enough ordinary troubles. For example, meat forgotten in a frying pan can catch fire and burn half of the kitchen, and plates regularly get dirty, forcing you to stop what you're doing and fly to the sink. All this makes the co-op playthrough fun: get ready to scream when things don't go according to plan, and laugh when you notice how someone made a mistake and threw a tomato in the trash instead of on a plate.

The difficulty in Overcooked 2 increases gradually. The first tasks are simple — this will help a beginner get involved in the game and get comfortable with the controls. When the time of difficult trials comes, the girl will be ready.

Valheim is a game about survival. A huge bird brings a Viking into an unfriendly world, where he needs to improve his life and fight powerful creatures. First you have to build a house, build a fireplace, acquire armor, take care of food, bother with a garden and take into account many other factors. Alone, your friend will probably be confused by the abundance of mechanics, but in co-op, Valheim can captivate you for hundreds of hours.

It will be fun to go for resources together, build a hut and have piglets. Moreover, Valheim willingly throws up funny situations. You'll definitely laugh when a felled tree falls on your friend's character, and the house falls apart while you're relaxing.

If we talk about difficulty, a beginner is unlikely to survive alone. Still, don't forget that the goal of the game is to kill the bosses. However, if a skilled gamer takes on the role of a tank during the battle with the deer Eiktur, and the girl shoots with a bow from a safe distance, there will be no difficulties.

There is hardly a girl who doesn't like Animal Crossing. This is a simple and extremely relaxing game, the goal of which is to have a pleasant time. Garden, build a house, develop your property, or do anything else. Your personal island is a construction set in which you can show your imagination and create almost anything.

It is worth noting that Animal Crossing is a friendly game that brings together all kinds of people. Users organize shows where stars come; they can visit for turnips at any time sail Elijah Wood, and the developers encourage initiative and organize enchanting events like a carnival.

Mastering the Nintendo exclusive is easy: all the mechanics are clear, and users are always ready to help. In general, if you want to get a girl interested in gaming, Animal Crossing is a great option.

Journey is suitable entertainment for girls who worry a lot. The fact is that the game turned out to be extraordinary: as soon as you jump into it for at least a minute, your body relaxes, your thoughts calm down, and your emotions subside. In these difficult times, such projects are especially valuable.

Every aspect of Journey was peaceful. The visuals are pleasant and calm, the sound is mesmerizing, and the gameplay replaces meditation. Thanks to this, traveling through the desert is interesting despite the lack of challenges: enemies are encountered, but not punished, and riddles only ask you to press a couple of buttons — but this is exactly the kind of gameplay that a game like this should have.

If a girl is worried and nervous a lot, invite her to spend time on Journey. Perhaps this will help her calm down, at least for a while.

Tiny Bunny is a visual novel that invites you to read a lot, look at atmospheric backgrounds and occasionally make decisions. At the same time, the script, art and sound turned out to be so good that the lady will definitely be impressed.

The story tells of a boy who, due to family problems, moved from a big city to the Siberian wilderness and faced many problems. Mom and dad constantly quarrel, classmates bully, peers mysteriously disappear, and every now and then some kind of devilry happens everywhere. The player has to deal with all this.

It is worth noting that Tiny Bunny is a horror film. Screamers are rare here, but the atmosphere is tense and puts pressure on the psyche. If your friend loves dramatic stories and horror films, invite her to check out a visual novel.

The only downside of Tiny Bunny is that only three out of five episodes are available so far. However, this does not prevent us from treating the game like a TV series, the next season of which will be released next year.

ANNO 1800 is suitable for ladies who love scale. Is there anything more grandiose than building the economy of a huge city? Conducting trade, building enterprises, and engaging in diplomacy are only a small part of the responsibilities of a true ruler.

However, even the most progressive manager should not forget: there are no solutions that everyone likes. Concentrated on the interests of ordinary people? Rest assured that important people are already plotting. Care about the ruling elite? Get ready for ordinary workers to start a riot.

In addition, many dream of interfering with the well-being of your lands. Alliances are falling apart, neighbors are putting a spoke in your wheels, and someone may even decide to crush you with military might. In general, it will not be easy, but interesting.
