• The Best Video Games For Girls

As a gamer girl, I love a variety of videogames! Any of my fellow sisters here, major video game players, and have a top 5, 10, or even 15 that you cannot go without playing?

I certainly do. Here below here is a list of the top 15, that I and many others, find fun-tastic choices for a gamer girl. Embrace your womanhood ladies, but also realize that anything the boys can do, we possibly do better; and look pretty while doing so.

15. Undertale

Let us go back to the good old graphics.

You are trapped underground, with a magic barrier keeping you in with nowhere to go but forward. Merely a child facing some of your childhood fears, and facing various odd creatures along the way, your bravery will be tested. It will be dark, it will be a little scary, but the magic, the weapons and the treasures along the way, will make this a fun pixeled adventure!

REASONS UNDERTALE IS A FUN GAME TO PLAY

• Face your fears and play with magic, that sounds fun for any kid, even a big kid like us adults.
• The pixel graphics make it fun and easy, not to mention the colors added, and everyone knows that girls love color.
• It reminds you of the old Nintendo games, with the caption subtitles helping you see the conversations.

What is your soul worth, and will you sacrifice It? The Undertale truth will weight that out.

Crinkly leaves that tell your fortune? I say yes please! Have fun jumping in leaves while helping your soul survive.

14. A Plague Tale: Innocence

The caverns are dark, damp, cold, with quiet isolation; be brave little one.
