2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

They're not particularly old. There's a few games as recent as this year there. But then, can you really trust the quality of a list that includes 'Laura' (sic) Croft?
What platforms do you play, and how old is she? Because there's no point in us recommending particularly grisly PS exclusives like The Last of Us Part 2 if you're an Xbox player with a 6 year old.
Ugh, sorry - my original wording wasn't clear. I meant "too old for her". Post has been edited
Fire Emblem Blazing Blade GBA, Lyndis.
Touhou is difficult, but "Easy" is still fun. Just don't expect to win, neither the adult nor the child.
Touhou is famous for its all-female cast of Witches, Shrine Maidens, Vampires and other female-themes cute characters. Its a Japanese single-person developer who does the music, art, and gameplay. The art of the official projects kind of sucks, but the character designs are unique enough that the huge fanbase iterates-and-improves upon the art style. Participating in the greater Touhou fan culture is fun for all ages.
I personally got started with Touhou 8: Imperishable Night.
Windbound could be another fun one.
Red Alert has a strong female character and is definitely age appropriate... :)
A Juggler's Tale
I originally bought this game years ago to play co-op with my then girlfriend, but I think it can work for your purposes too - Never Alone
Half Life Alyx + No VR mod
Lots of great suggestions from others already, so I'll add some for when she's a bit older. I'd say when she grows up the Tomb Raider series would be great for her to play if you want a good female protagonist. And it may be too raunchy of a recommendation for a daughter, but if you want another good female protagonist I'd suggest Lolipop Chainsaw, a great game for when she becomes a teen if she keeps up the hobby. :)
Street fighter 6. Pick Juri, Kimberly, Manon or more. With the new Dynamic control system, even your kids can easily play with you.
