GOAT Protagonists
Not necessarily all the protagonists I like but the ones that truly elevate the game that they're in. Not including characters that are just vessels for obvious reasons. Feel free to suggest more.
17 Games
I count Arbiter as a protagonist
This game wouldn't be half as fun if the characters didn't say such funny shit 24/7. You can count any as a protagonist and they'll be great.
Same for L4D2
I'm not even caught up on the story but fuck you Kiana is already incredible.
Best Sonic by far
