Aloy – Horizon Zero Dawn
Our first heroine is none other than our fiery redhead, Aloy. Not only is Horizon Zero Dawn amazing, but it also presents us with a protagonist that’s likable, grows throughout the game, and is surprisingly relatable.
Without Aloy, Horizon Zero Dawn wouldn’t have that same sort of charm that makes it such an incredible game. Sure, it would still have its gorgeous scenery and unique creatures but the weight of it all would be missed without our darling girl interacting with the world.
We watch her grow into an independent and strong character throughout the story. She initially wants to be a part of the society that shuns and fears her but, as she explores an exciting new world and meets dozens of different people, she develops into a person that realizes she can live wherever she wants and be whoever she wants.
