Happy Father’s Day weekend to all the dads and dad havers who are reading Kotaku. Yes, it’s the time of year that we celebrate the daddies in our lives—whether that be our fathers or the men we call daddy. So hey, we figured we’d make a big ol’ list of the best dads and/or daddies in video games. Some of these men are great dads who I’d call daddy. Some of them are absolute dogshit fathers but are men I’d call daddy. It’s an important distinction, and we’re here to celebrate all of the above with zero consistency and some questionable merit.
