GOOD games with female protagonists?

Specifically the first game (unarguably the best one), its prequel, and True Colours. Life Is Strange 2 has two brothers, instead. They're all very, very good games that all have made me cry (some multiple times).

They're also pretty gay if that interests you.

Yeah, these were the very first games I thought of. The first Life Is Strange is one of my two favorite games from the last decade.

You'll love them if you liked old-school adventure games. I grew up on DOS point-and-click games and it was like a refreshing modern twist on those. Great music and angsty, moody atmosphere, too.

I’ll add Tell Me Why to that recommendation. It was developed by the same studio as LiS, and it has a similar vibe and gameplay. It’s also free on Steam for the rest of Pride month!

Yes I loved Life is Strange and Before the Storm. I haven't played the rest, but those two games stories were really good. It was cringe back then too, but that's what made it awesome sauce.

I can't speak highly enough of the original Life is Strange game. Although I cannot possibly replay it because I don't want to feel those feelings again.
