My wife is a 30+ woman and she loved (among others) OneShot, World of Goo, and Final Fantasy XV.
OneShot is an atmospheric, story-based game with some puzzle elements and a lot of lovable characters. On the flip side, there's a lot of walking and it's easy to get lost. Nevertheless, there's a deep connection you as the player can build with the characters and the world they inhabit.
World of Goo is a physics-based building game, where you build bridges and towers out of cute sentient rubber-like balls, but beneath the solid physics, art and music there lies a deep social commentary too.
Final Fantasy XV is the most mainstream of these, but it is an entry into the FF games specifically designed for newcomers in mind. It follows four main and several supporting characters on a journey that starts as a road trip interspersed with beginner-friendly but still jaw-droppingly well rendered and animated combat and slowly but surely escalated to an epic catharsis.
World of goo... 100%. My wife and I have also played through this together and she enjoyed it. I also started a Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough with her making most of the decisions and me actually playing the game. That went pretty well, but it's a long ass game
