It depends on the game. Tomb Raider sometimes frames Lara in ways that present her as a sex object, but overall HZD and TR are examples of some of the progress made in recent years.
The tremendous imbalance is sexist. Among other things, it shows that our default notion of heroes still = men, and it encourages us to keep thinking that way.

It’s not sexist! It’s because, as I stated earlier, that creators have more things to worry about than the gender of their protagonists.

Right but...you're making it sound like it's "easier" or more "normal" to center a man than a woman. Why would that be, if not sexism? If things were equal, wouldn't we just naturally end up with something closer to 50/50?
