Formerly a leader with immense political and magical power, he now travels alongside the Warrior of Light and doesn\u2019t quite know how to deal with some of the crises you face together and struggles to find where he fits in with the Scions.

Though we didn\u2019t see him actually become Spider-Man, it was clear that this was where Insomniac was headed, and sure enough, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales launched with the PlayStation 5 in 2020. Through its eight hours, we all grew to know this already-great character even more, and perhaps most importantly, we watched him become the protector New York City needed in a time when Peter Parker wasn\u2019t there to defend it. Miles comes out the other end of his journey a hero \u2013 not a lesser web-slinger or Peter\u2019s fill-in, but a true Spider-Man that stands alongside the original. It\u2019s heartwarming to watch the story unfold, and it\u2019s got us excited to don Miles\u2019 trademark black and red suit once more in Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-3.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Selene<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Returnal<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>In many ways, Selene is a new Samus. No, she\u2019s not from Metroid, but, much like Samus, she\u2019s a stoic, alien-killing, badass intent on completing the mission, no matter the cost. In Returnal, we\u2019re introduced to Selene as just that, and every action she takes through the game\u2019s mysterious narrative further proves our point. But there\u2019s more to Selene than meets the eye. Horror-like house sequences fill in crucial backstory that completely change the perspective of what\u2019s going on, and some late-game revelations flip all of that on its head once more. Still, through it all, Selene is determined, capable, and the kind of space soldier we all want to be. We\u2019re not sure what the future holds for Selene \u2013 something tells us it will be similar to the day before and the day before that \u2013 but we can\u2019t wait to see what else Housemarque and PlayStation do with her character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-4.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">The Wielder<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Chicory: A Colorful Tale<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>The Wielder does not begin the game as a hero. She\u2019s simply a janitor and fangirl of the world\u2019s savior, Chicory. But when Chicory inexplicably locks herself in a tower, leaving the world devoid of color, this janitor picks up her brush and does what any hero would do: save the day herself. It\u2019s a wild premise that captivated us quickly, and growing from the janitor to the savior of Picnic, a place where everyone is named after food, was enthralling. Plus, Chicory\u2019s message about overcoming imposter syndrome, which is seen through the eyes of The Wielder\u00a0who feels it after picking up the mantle, is important, as is seeing Chicory lean on The Wielder to cope with her depression. In the end, both are better for relying on the other to overcome personal obstacles and insecurities. The Wielder is the hero who restored color, beauty, and life into her world. She stands as an inspiration for us and future heroes this generation. Not everyone might feel like a hero, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t become one. We hope that Chicory is just the start of The Wielder\u2019s adventures this generation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-5.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Kit<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Ratchet &#038; Clank: Rift Apart<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>Kit is a new character introduced in Ratchet &#038; Clank: Rift Apart, serving as Clank\u2019s multiversal counterpart. Everyone knows the iconic duo of Ratchet &#038; Clank are heroes, but Kit represents the inspiration the pair can have on others through their good deeds. When we meet Kit, she\u2019s emotionally bogged down by her villainous past. She\u2019s a robot built for destruction, but she\u2019s put aside those tendencies to be a peaceful, and ultimately better, person. Kit struggles with her misdeeds and regularly doubts herself, but Ratchet instills in her the potential to help others. When nobody else believed in her, Ratchet said, \u201cI do.\u201d Now, Kit is an ally we can\u2019t wait to see more of. Whether she\u2019s kicking butt or sitting down to gaze at the stars, Kit is the perfect face to remind us that imposter syndrome has no place in our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-6.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Alex Chen<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Life is Strange: True Colors<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>Alex Chen had quite the feat before her in Life is Strange: True Colors. Not only did she have to solve the mystery of her brother\u2019s death while navigating being the new girl in a new town, but she also had to stand out in a franchise built on the shoulders of fantastic characters. She did so effortlessly, and it was clear she\u2019d join the ranks of characters like Max Caulfield and Sean Diaz shortly after the start of True Colors\u2019 first episode. Her powers, which see her use empath abilities to read other people\u2019s emotions and, in some cases, take them on as her own, are understated, but they are essential to navigating her story as the narrative arc she goes through is pretty inspiring. True Colors\u2019 Alex Chen showcases how important it is to trust your gut, and why, when you believe in something, you should stand up for it against all odds. Alex Chen took on a mountain of corporate structure destined to silence her, but crucially, she put her love of friends and family alike above all else and persevered because of it. Life is Strange typically moves on after each entry, but we\u2019re left hoping that True Colors is not the last time we\u2019ll see Alex Chen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-7.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Colt Vahn<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Deathloop<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>Colt Vahn becomes a character you want to spend more time playing as within Deathloop\u2019s first few minutes. He winds up in a terribly strange situation, and unlike most heroes in video games, he asks, \u201cwhat the hell is going on?\u201d It\u2019s great because it\u2019s the same question we all would have had if we woke up on a beach, destined to repeat the same day over and over again. He doesn\u2019t try to tough-guy it or hide his fear. In fact, he doesn\u2019t even try to become a hero, and you could argue he never becomes one by traditional standards. He\u2019s just a guy who wants to break the loop so that he can no longer be a part of it. He\u2019s the kind of protagonist we can all respect \u2013 someone who has no freaking idea what\u2019s going on but perseveres nonetheless. There are plenty of twists and turns to be found along the way, but in the end, Colt comes out as an unlikely hero we already want more of. Plus, he\u2019s a Black lead who doesn\u2019t lean into harmful stereotypes, which is, unfortunately, a rarity in gaming. Hopefully, his success inspires developers to write more Black heroes because if Deathloop proves anything, it\u2019s that gaming needs and deserves more of them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-8.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Drax<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Marvel&#8217;s Guardians of the Galaxy<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>We all know Drax is a hero \u2013 he\u2019s part of a very famous superhero team, after all \u2013 but Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy expanded on the heartbreaking backstory that drives everything he does. Yes, he defeated Thanos. Yes, he\u2019s virtually unstoppable, and if you looked at him, you might write it off as, \u201cwell yeah, look at him \u2013 dude\u2019s a beast.\u201d But, Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy highlights that it\u2019s the loss of Drax\u2019s family that fuels him and keeps him motivated to fight another day. This leads to one of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking moments in games last year where Drax must painfully reconcile with his loss for the greater good, a moment that solidified Drax as one of our favorite heroes. Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, and Gamora are great heroes in their own right, but Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy proves that Drax is the true unlikely heart of the group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-9.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">The Weapon<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Halo Infinite<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>It\u2019s no easy feat stacking up to one of gaming\u2019s most iconic heroes, Master Chief, but Cortana\u2019s successor, The Weapon, did it with ease in Halo Infinite. Cortana\u2019s character took a heel turn in Halo 5: Guardians, and while some fans weren\u2019t happy with the direction, it was set in stone, and Halo Infinite had to address that. The Weapon did just that, bringing all of the spunk and optimism of Cortana with an extra dash of innocence and naivety that has us excited to bring her on more world-saving missions in future Halo entries. Cortana is almost irreplaceable, but fortunately, 343 Industries found a way to, well, replace her. And they did it in the best way possible: by introducing us to someone who doesn\u2019t want to be Cortana; The Weapon simply wants to be herself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/our-favorite-heroes-of-the-generation-10.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-thumbnail\" \/> <\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item\">Aloy<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list_item_sub\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-list-item-sub field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-sub gi5-string field__item\">Horizon Forbidden West<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item\">\n<p>Aloy was an excellent protagonist in 2017\u2019s Horizon Zero Dawn, but due to the nature of the game and its overarching mystery, she doesn\u2019t really come into her own as a hero until the game\u2019s final hours. Horizon Forbidden West, though, is all about Aloy\u2019s newfound stardom as the savior of Meridian (and the world), and we get to watch her come to terms with that title. She\u2019s unwavering in her commitment to helping people and won\u2019t stand aside when authority asks her to. If she believes in something, she will commit herself to it and watching Aloy become the hero everyone claims she is, is incredibly fulfilling.
