Like Jak & Daxter, full fleshed out story with fun combat, stylized animations, more story and character than previous gamesRayman : Rayman
3D
Mix of Mario and Ratchet&Clank, story but with alot more platforming elements,Master Chief : Halo
3D
Extremely popular space combat game, influenced games to date like Unreal Tournament did. Master Chief is built for a combat game, lots of green for disguise, very competitiveDante : Devil May Cry
3DHitman : Hitman
3D
Spy, assassin game, higher age ratings, more bloody, strategicGLAD0S : Portal
3D
Started from an INDIE, amazing animations and voice acting/scripts brought this valve character to life, one of my most liked charactersNick : Left 4 Dead
3D
Valve is uprising, the beginning of games without thirds has begun,Tiny Tina : Borderlands
3D
Games by now have got past story and character being revolutionary, Tiny Tina is a beautifully designed character in Borderlands style, lots of personality, Personally one of my first characters that I literally found fun to play near because of the voicelines and interactionsSuper Meat Boy : Super Meat Boy
2D
Fast platformer, Character has personality, it's the typical hero saves princess/love storyline but is brought to life through the challenging and fun gameplay, combined with the style of the character.Bastion : Bastion
2D
Amazing storytelling game, very stylizedClemetine : The Walking Dead
3D
Beginning of Telltale games, this along with Half-Life inspired a-lot of modern story games such as TLOU and Beyond Two Souls. Clementine is a side-character the player is supposed to grow to like.Ellie : The Last Of Us
3D
My favourite female game character, Naughty Dog uses amazing MOCAP technology to bring the character to life alongside actor Ashley Johnson, considered one of the most realistic game characters to date both story-wise and graphically.Issac : Binding of Issac Rebirth
2D
A remake of an old game, 2D arcades had a bit of a comeback, Issac always looks towards the cameraMax : Life is Strange
3D
Character is stylized, not considered them most realistic because of horrific mouth animations to voicelines, gameplay is very basic (move there, open that, use it) but still quite successful.Reinhardt : Overwatch
3D
Blizzard stylized character from overwatch, very tanky and has alot of personalityAloy : Horizon Zero Dawn
3D
Aloy is reminiscent of Tomb Raider, strong female lead in an action-story-adventure game, except this one is more about overcoming challenges and less about being an action hero.Vick : A Way Out
3D
One character in a two-character experience game, splitscreen is backJack : Tekken
