Final Fantasy X-2 comes to mind. I didn't finish it, but it's well-reviewed so...

Chorus is a space dogfighting game that's quite fun. Has good storytelling. Doesn't pad time with repetitive/recycled quests so progression always feels unique. Some people find the inner monologue of the protagonist annoying but it's fine imo
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is good. I still gotta finish it, but I've enjoyed it so far.
Kena was great. There was so much more they could have done with that world and Kena's backstory, but I think it's the #1 best looking game I've ever played.
I haven’t seen the No One Lives Forever games mentioned yet. 60s female secret agent goodness.
If you're into farming and dungeon delving, Rune Factory 4 has a female protagonist option.
Rune factory 4 actually came to PC as of 2021 so you don't have to own a 3ds to play it anymore. I'm currently playing RF5, and I'm enjoying it.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is still a thing...
The entire Tomb Raider series, but Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, just make her feel so believable and relatable.
Any of the Atelier games
Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patty In Pursuit Of The Pulsating Pectorals
In the second half of the game, you switch from controlling Larry to controlling Patty, with her goal being to find Larry. She has to venture into a jungle on foot, navigate a maze and not die of dehydration. Additionally, at one point she has to bravely take her bra off, load it up with coconuts and kill a wild pig before she gets porked.
Passing By (I think Curly is technically gender-neutral but I always saw her as a girl).
I think the download files got taken down though unfortunately
Edit: Apparantly they've been canonically made non-binary
Played Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin recently
fantastic game. The platforming is fun with surprising depth. The Rice mechanics have way more depth than I can stand, but it's still forgiving enough that you never feel severely punished for messing up.
i love this game, glad it was really successful too, I wanna see more from those devs. felt like a 2D Okami spin-off

Here's one a ton of people slept on, Disciples Liberation. The protagonist is a chick, you can be pious, kind, hateful, evil and/or fuck your way through the entire world if you want. You can be bi, straight, not get involved in romance at all, doesn't matter. But no matter how you play, you are an absolute badass that can barely beat two soldiers at the start and can nuke literal gods by the end.
A lot of good suggestions here. Remember Me and Mirror's Edge are also good, perhaps not as great some of the truly outstanding ones already posted though. But if you're looking for something with a cyberpunk edge, both will fit the bill nicely.
Resident Evil 5.
Sheva is a badass.
I enjoyed the chill, stylized vibes in Sable. Coming of age, botw-inspired exploration, beautiful world. No (?)Combat—I don’t remember fully, but very little at least. Just explore, experiment, and engage the world around you. A passable world-build/story too!
Vinyl Goddess from Mars. The Great Giana Sisters.
Soul Hackers 2 is a nice little palette cleanser of an RPG. Not as expansive as other Megaten games but it kept me engaged all the way through. The main party are all adults too which is a nice change of pace.
Alba is a very cute and relaxing game, but it's good! And the eponymous main character is a little girl.
By NOLF you mean No One Lives Forever? If so a quick search gave me this "revival" site, seeing the Windows targets i bet that runs on Wine
