Top most impressive characters in the gaming industry in 2020 (P2)

Alyx – Half-Life: Alyx​

​

When it was first announced, Half-Life: Alyx created a big shock for fans of this cult franchise. Although it is not Half-Life 3 as what players want, this game still brings a completely new experience when combined with VR technology. Adept at hacking to combat, Alyx is a complex yet interesting character that pushes the plot twists instead of holding it back.

Abby – The Last of Us 2
​

​

Not only revolving around the issue of post-apocalyptic survival, The Last of Us 2 also deepens the hatred between Abby, Ellie and Joel, but what makes this game different from other revenge games is the character’s perspective. Taking Abby’s stance, Joel killed her father and destroyed the Fireflies, which changed her life completely, forcing her to become the bad guy. In the end, Abby killed Joel to avenge her father, but this did not make her life easier, on the contrary, it swept her into the seemingly endless days of confrontation with Ellie.

Ellie – The Last of Us 2​

​

Ellie is a character whose stance is completely opposite to Abby, for her, Abby is the killer of the person she loves the most. She was immersed in her desire for revenge without caring what Abby’s motive for murder was, but in the end this character was able to rein in the abyss, not letting hatred swallow her whole. Conflict, conflict and hatred between Abby and Ellie are also important factors that create the depth of The Last of Us 2.

Ichiban Kasuga – Yakuza: Like A Dragon

​

Replacing Kiryu – the iconic character of the Yakuza series for many years, is not easy, but Ichiban Kasuga has done his job well. Ichiban’s moral standards and likability have made him a standout character in the series, bringing a breath of fresh air to the franchise.
