What Are Some Non Blocked Games?

seeking non-violent PS3 games with female protagonists

  • I'm looking for games available for the PlayStation 3 with (fully clothed, not overtly sexualized) female protagonists, or protagonists of unspecified gender. Ideally, the games would also be non-violent or minimally violent, and they would rely largely on puzzle-solving rather than time-sensitive and reflex-dependent jump-and-shoot strategies. The Portal series is the perfect example of what I'm looking for: 1) the player character is female but her gender is unrelated to her performance; 2) the game allows the player time to sort out puzzles and strategies; 3) the "shooting" is non-violent*. What are some other well-crafted games that meet this criteria? Second-best: can you recommend games (available for the PS3) that meet two of these three criteria? *In this narrow case, "non-violent" means no sustained shooting at, striking, or otherwise hurting characters, including human villains, zombies/vampires, or animals. For example, the Batman games, where the player is required to strike adversaries, would not meet these criteria. A brief game-ending bout is fine. Sustained destruction of objects or property is not actively desirable, but is acceptable.

  • Answer:

    Beyond Good and Evil is available for PS3 -- it is not entirely non-violent, but there is no shooting, Jade's only weapon is only capable of stunning, and many (most?) fights are entirely avoidable through stealth.

Oh, I almost forgot about the absolutely gorgeous game Okami HD! The protagonist is female, although she takes the form of a wolf, and the "battle" is mostly via painting to perform actions.

LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 are cutesy platformers. I believe you can pick a female avatar but they're generic sock-puppets either way.

The characters in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Damacy series are of varied genders, which do not affect the character's gameplay abilities.

Journey, of course. Let me think on it some more.

Mirror's Edge is a partial match and a beautiful, great game

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echochrome is a very unique spatial puzzle game available on PSD. The protagonist is a featureless mannequin. The game is all black-and-white line art, very minimalistic, and the puzzle solving relies on M.C. Escherian space-warping tricks resulting from perspective changes caused by moving the player's point of view.

We seem to have very very similar tastes! You might enjoy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ico and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Rain*. *There is *some* violence in Heavy Rain, but I'm throwing it out there since as I said I feel like we have very similar tastes and I absolutely loved that game. Also the violence isn't the star of the game or how its mechanics work exclusively, just occasionally a choice your character has. And damn I totally forgot you wanted female leads. So it's not out yet but maybe make a mental note for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond:_Two_Souls? Looks insane, can't wait. I was gonna scratch out my comment but I'm going to go with my gut about taste, in case you're interested by the games anyways

Also, if gender isn't that important, you play a young boy in Quantum Conundrum, which is a less-violent Portal-ish FPS platformer. I didn't like it nearly as much as portal, but it does scratch the same itch.

http://www.ign.com/games/closure/ps3-116598 sounds right up your alley. http://www.ign.com/games/the-unfinished-swan/ps3-133433 has a young boy as the protagonist but it is puzzle based, lacking violence, and quite charming (if maybe a bit precious).
