I think I'd be unable to vote, I'd be way too biased :S not to mention there is just too many for me to give a concreate answer or ranking. I have played just about every non-lezdom game on the list, minus a few bowei's works because they all are the same to me
EDIT:
I changed my mind. These are the top five+1 that I cannot exclude because its equal and from same developer. These aren't in particular order, I couldn't rank them that way.
1) Second Class/Slave High. If you read my rant below, its amazing how well Taco interweaves this fantasy world of inequality and yet you still get these bursts of romantic (yet often very lopsided) relationships. They are cruel and vicious at times, but at others, you can feel affection. It caters to huge variety of extreme kinks that many won't even go near, yet Taco marches right on in. He's one of my heroes and favorite people to talk to regarding this kind of stuff
2) Tales of Legendary Lust Aphrodisia. Extremely slow to develop, but always worth the wait. There is a legit game here and story being told, with all the kinks being properly researched and given care by the entire staff. They listen to feedback and the result is exactly what you would expect from such dedication: Extremely well done story and lewd scenes with given care to how the player might individually respond to several scenarios. While loaded with kinks, it's amazing to the degree in which they are sewn into the dialogue in a way that doesn't off put the players, giving them ample opportunity to experience what they want and avoid what they don't.
3) Bound By Lust, surprisingly deep story. The submissive path is a bit tainted cus I got my own character in there and she's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but without that, there is just a lot of interesting things going on with the story.
4) Karelsson's Gambit. This one is pretty dark in a lot of places, but it is a phenomenal story. I like the fact that you have to work for your relationships. If you get stuck being abused and quite possibly literally shat all over, that's because you done and goofed on your own. Beautiful renders and story, one that makes you work for your happy endind.
5) Sex Valley. This is a game that's not on this list, and I get why but at the same time I think it is one of those things that falls through the cracks of "maledom/femdom" lenses. What this game allows you to do without any outright femdom is...play submissively. You're just submissive and as a result the girls act more aggressive/assertive to that. I think that's fantastic. There is some futadom elements and some girls do seem to gather more and more courage to be domme as time goes forth, but its not a femdom game. It is a gem I think that is being overlooked.
Maybe we could go with 3-5 'best femdom games' (I'd count here games with femdom/maledom only like Karlsson's Gambit) and 'best games with femdom path, but not focused only on femdom' (like Nothing is Forever).
In any case since you gave your types, my best of 2022 would be:
- Nothing is Forever - with its realistic setting, interesting dialogues, interactions between NPCs/LIs, somewhat atypical MC and numerous kinks treated in a very satisfying way. Femdom is also well developed with its more abusive kind (Kim), humiliation focused (Emma), femdom relationship (Deb) and more. It's currently my fav game.
- Second Class/Slave High - basically what you wrote. I like the setting, the varied scenes, the writing; it's a nice barrage of femdom moments without too much stuff preventing the player from focusing on the content and connected with fairly interesting plot.
- The Shadow over Blackmore - I know it only started, but I loved what I saw. Lovecraft meets femdom in a VN with some classic adventure games and some RPG mechanics - it all sounds and looks awesome. I like the style, the plot, the models, the scenes. I like that in Darktoz's games every line that MC says is chosen by the player (even if it's only for a flavor). I believe it'll be one of my fav femdom games in general. / After consideration TSoB moved to honorable mentions and #3 is
Healslut for the general feel of humiliation.
- A New Life in Submission - I think it's the best of these RPGM femdom games with combat. The plot is very developed, the game is extremely polished, there are numerous routes and approaches (it's impossible to find everything in one playthrough), I found the scenes very hot and depending on your choices you can have more loving/affectionate femdom too. And it has one of my favorite femdom scenes this year, plus MC's journey toward accepting his submissiveness is very satisfying imo.
- I really don't know about #5 tbh. Boring Days is one of my favs, but with short updates and the content which wasn't as good as earlier (imo) I'm not sure about it atm. Void of Deviance has many cool ideas (and a lot of hot scenes), but it still needs a lot of development imo to really shine, plus I don't like the models, I'm just not a fan of koikatsu; I understand that the dev has PC limitations and I'm not criticizing him, but it just doesn't work for me that much on a visual lvl. Tales of Legendary Lust shapes up to be a great game, though atm there's not much there in the femdom department so I wouldn't place it on my list yet. Cause of the need the start from the beginning I lost my interest in Town of Femdom tbh, and after the introduction of combat and fantasy in The Prison 2 the game became too unfocused for my taste.
So that's from me for now.
BTW, I will make few updates to the Finder in 2 hrs time, when I finish working.
