Every year we play a ton of great games that we celebrate in December, and those games can be great for all sorts of reasons: amazing level design, incredible atmosphere, outstanding combat or exploration, you name it. But more often than not, itās the heroes and villains of a great game that stick with us the longest, persisting in cosplay, fan art, and sometimes the thirst posts we subject our followers to on social media. Now that our Game of the Year list is out there, we wanted to take the time to recognize some of the characters from those games (and other games we loved) that weāre still thinking about long after rolling the credits on their respective adventures. Spoilers for some of these games will follow, so feel free to skip any game youāre worried about.
