Mine is Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark N64)
Max Caulfield in Life is strange 1
(Okay, maybe not protagonist, necessarily…)
She was the best part. It can slide
Commander Shepard.
Tormentor from Tormentor❌Punisher!
I have 400+ hours and was HardMode #2WR until I the students I tutored defeated me lol
In my opinion, it’s the best twin stick shooter ever made. Hugely discoverable mechanics, completely skill-based, and a nearly infinite skill ceiling.

They gave it away on Epic as well several years ago, check your launcher!
Aloy from the Horizon series
Aya Brea, from Parasite Eve
The perfect mix of unsuspecting hero, chosen one, and bad ass. The sequel also gives her an Ellen Riply in Aliens vibe as well. Shame about 3rd Birthday and the fact we will never get another one. For those who don’t know, the owner of the original IP didn’t want to renew the license for the games, which means the games can no longer use anything from the novel which includes all references to mitochondria and Eve. That’s why 3rd Birthday was seemingly a totally different game; they tried to make a sequel that couldn’t reference any of the main plot points of the previous games or novel.
I played this one PSP and didn’t even realize what it was for years lol. Good game as I remember. They are getting a remake as well
Lilith “the Firehawk” (Borderlands)
Traff (the Princess of Cursing) from Ink Inside (a cartoon action RPG)

Some of my other picks have already been mentioned so I’ll go with an obscure answer: Cpt. Olivia Rhodes from the VR game Lone Echo.
She is by far the most realistic and immersive NPC I have ever had the fortune of experiencing. The storytelling and immersion in Lone Echo is S tier. The game itself is in my top three VR games with Half-Life Alyx and Boneworks.
Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Fantastic voice acting, awesome gameplay, beautiful world. 10/10 I love her.
if you know you knowAlyx
Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever
Adding a pic of our favourite spy
She got an honorable mention from me in my post. She was a lot of fun to play as and the game would not have been the same with any other MC.
I like her character and I’ve only had the chance to watch gameplay videos online.
The games are available for free on NOLF revival if you want to play. Nobody knows who owns the IP so there is nobody enforcing the copyright.
The setting, theme and writing is really fun but the gameplay really hasn’t aged well.
Mara Jade from Mysteries of the Sith (and Star Wars extended universe)
