By “girly” games I mean : games that have a soft/pink color scheme. About slice of life (preferably with romance elements), and non-violent with no/minimal combat.
I’ve already played Stardew Valley, Minecraft and Animal Crossing.

Darktide?
I’ve never played it but ‘Pony Island’ seems to have a pink color scheme and I’m guessing it’s about ponies, so maybe?

My wife is in love with Disney Dreamlight Valley! It’s like animal crossing but with Disney characters and in full 3D. She dresses her character up differently every few weeks. She looked like a reindeer for December/January, and it was so cute! They’re very heavy on the fairy/cozy decor aspect, and while the expansions are paid, they do have free updates every 3-4 months.
She also recommended Calico, which is an indie cat cafe sim at heart, but you also get to dress like a magical girl, design your home, ride around town on animals like giant foxes, dogs, red pandas, more cats, etc. Very cute and relaxing.
On Your Tail is a cute mystery game set in an idyllic Italian seaside town with beautiful storytelling and character development.
She seconds other comments encouraging Haven, pulls the heartstrings and relaxing with minimal combat.
There are also the HerInteractive Nancy Drew games, which are older but fun female-centered mysteries. She recommends Phantom of Venice and Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon.
Even as a guy, I love the new Hello Kitty game.
My significant other loves it even more. Lmao
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similar to a very relaxed cross between Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild. There are elements that depend on time passing in the real world such as socializing, holidays, and getting certain resources, and there are also a lot of very funny and cute storylines featuring all the Sanrio characters. You don’t need to be initiated into them to have a nice time (I sure wasn’t).
There’s no combat, but there are many other systems and areas to unlock that make the game feel deeper than it originally looks.
It also has multiplayer, if that’s something you’d use!
If you like puzzles, and greenery instead of pink:
Botany Manor, which is fundamentally about the feminine urge to go alone into a giant manor and grow some cool flowers
Terra Nil, which is about going to a desolate planet and using the power of technology to grow some cool flowers
Calico, maybe 🙂
I really like the Style Savvy games on Nintendo. I started late with the one on 3DS but planning to get the Switch one eventually. They’re nice and comfy games and since it sounds like you may already have a Nintendo, could be an option.
I would suggest searching Steam for games.
I don’t be leave this is a pension but rather a bot collecting date.
For on the Girly Games that are Pink
And on the Mind Craft and Animalsers Cross.
No combat necessary.
My daughter loves A Short Hike and Wobbly Life.
And on her phone Toca Boca World. Though it has a tendency to crash every few months, taking her progress with it.
She also likes Spider-Man but I guess that’s not very “girly”.
Smushi come home is similar vibes to a short hike and I loved it.
A Short Hike is ace!
And it’s not that short; the island to me seems to be an actual mile wide in circumference. There’s lots to do in the one environment.
The Hike itself is short. Took me only a few minutes.
My wife loves Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, and she’s been way into Hello Kitty: Island Adventure lately. It seems to split the difference between those things and add some of its own spice on top.
I had childhood PTSD flashbacks reading “adventure Island” without ever having played any animal crossing games.

Oh, also the Life is Strange games are great.
I enjoyed the first one very much.
The latest one is one of the worst, most awkward, uninspired, terribly written, bullshit games I’ve ever seen, though. It’s absolutely hilarious.
Oh yes, definitely avoid the last one, Double Exposure.
But Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, by the same dev as the first Life is Strange is supposed to be decent. But I want to wait until all episodes are available before I play that.
Oh no, I meant Lost Records hahaha. It’s completely horrible in every aspect, to the point of being hilarious. The reviews it’s getting baffle me. It’s easily the worst of them all.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about VA-11 Hall-A. Haven’t played it myself, but it looks like you play as a bartender in a cyberpunk-esque world and talk to the partons in your bar to get to know what’s going on in both the world and their personal lives
In the same kind of game you got “Coffee Talk” (and its sequel), which works way better with a controller than VA-11 Hall-A does.
Unfortunately the story author died, which is a shame.
This is my favorite VN. I love this game so much. They just released a figure of the main character and I preordered it
