Best Video Game Protagonists of This Console Generation
Aloy, Horizon Zero Dawn
There’s a lot to love in Horizon Zero Dawn. Next to stunning landscapes, bombastic combat and the presence of giant robot dinosaurs, Guerilla Game’s new protagonist doesn’t always get the attention she deserves. Right from the start, Aloy is a highly unique and, frankly, badass character.
Aloy has a humble start as an outcast, constantly facing insults and prejudice from everyone around her. However, she maintains her confidence, resolves and even humor as she proves her dissenters wrong every step of the way. This, paired with an impressive performance from Ashly Burch, makes Aloy a compelling version of the powerful action hero. She is interesting, funny, charming, intimidating and a joy to spend 30+ hours getting to know.
Since a sequel is surely coming, we are excited to see more growth and interesting reveals for Guerrilla’s new hero.
