5 Best Video Game Daddies

Celebrate the Digital Daddies!

Father’s Day is here! We figured it is the best time to look at all the video game daddies that deserve to be celebrated; either because of their loving effort, stupid jokes or simply of their sexy dad bod, so get cozy and snuggle in the warm embrace of paternal love that we all crave.

5 – Lee from Telltale’s The Walking Dead

Lee Everett is a hardy character and a tough shell to crack in the beginning (as all fathers are) but after meeting with an innocent child called Clementine in a world where kindness ceased to exist, filled instead with the roaming cataclysmic zombies, we see Lee taking on a role of a surrogate father to Clem.

Spoiler Alert – Their adopted father-daughter relationship blossoms throughout the game. Until eventually, Lee met his demise by getting bitten by the zombies thus leaving Clementine with a heavy decision to make; Kill Lee or leaving him to become a zombie.

4 – Kratos from God of War (2018)

A whole package. Tough exterior, hot bod and has the most beardy beard. Kratos in God of War (2018) (we don’t talk about the previous installments), is a loving father at heart, he and his snobby kid had plan to live a peaceful life in a wintery cozy cabin. He taught his son to hunt, use a bow and kill an ogre. You know, the usual dad stuff.

Until someone came to their house where Kratos and him beat the shit out of each other. Kratos then proceed to think, ‘Fuck a peaceful life’, and proceed to have an adventure with his son through the seven realms including Hell itself. Who doesn’t love a dad adventure!

3 – Ethan Winters from Resident Evil 7 & 8

A normal dad with a decent enough life. Not only that, he is also a great husband! Ethan may be boring in personality but damn it, that man literally doing everything for his family. He went to god-knows-where and meeting god-awful-crazies to find his missing family and that’s just the beginning.

Spoiler Alert – He went on and on even after getting brutally beaten, dismembered, mauled and ripped apart. Ethan’s resilience to save his family finally lead to his tragic death.

2 – Joel from The Last of Us

A dad who lost everything. Joel’s stone exterior is understandable after losing his daughter in a minor inconvenience made by the government official during the zombie outbreak. Even after meeting Ellie, an immune girl, he still did not moved on from his daughter.

Joel and Ellie make an unusual father-daughter dynamic at first where they constantly at each other’s throat at any point in time. But they find comfort in each other’s tragic histories and bonded through that till the very end.

1 – Geralt from The Witcher 3

An emotionless father figure. Geralt is a product in a world where monsters roamed free to reign chaos. He knows no feelings, simply an empty husk of a sword-bearing machination brought forth to rid the world of abnormalities. That is, until he meet Ciri, a child prophecy, a child who carries the power of time and space, making her a target to those untoward.

Thus venture forth the intertwined fate of Geralt and Ciri in this expansive journey of profound tales of complex relationships, political warfare and outlandish mysteries.
