I remember teaching a young lady, many years ago(30?), to play Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat, took her a week to beat everyone but me, took her a month to be a toss up who would win between us, no one would fight either of us at that point. Had another friend, woman my age, that loved Warcraft 2, Star Craft, and I think it was an isometric Fall out or some other tactical game from 30 years ago. Hell, my gf plays Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online. She runs 3 or 4 ESO guilds that are mostly capped on players. To me, a “girls” game is any game “girls” enjoy playing period. Personally I enjoy zombie type and extraction/horror games

17,000 Steam reviews, 98% positive, and only a month since launch: Dressmaker is a massive hit, and the devs reckon it shows "women are such an underserved market"
