The statement that sexuality lies not only in external attractiveness is more suitable for real life. In the virtual world, everything is somewhat different, and game developers do their best to exploit the image created from certain stereotypes: this formula works 100%. It often turns out that the hero is remembered more than the events with which he is associated.

We have compiled a list of the sexiest or simply beautiful video game characters, giving preference to the fairer sex. It turned out that the Japanese achieved the greatest success in the field of creating forms that you can’t take your eyes off. Although to some this may seem natural. Let's face it: a lot depends on the point of view, the significance of the hero and the presence of a fairly developed community around a particular game. In order to somehow reflect the modern view of the “chosen ones,” we added the most striking works of cosplayers (if possible) to the screenshots and official images.

10. Our rating opens with noir and stylish Mona Sachs from the Max Payne series. She is probably one of the most underrated female characters. Or already forgotten. In the first two parts of the game, the images were given to her by different actresses, but we will give preference to the hired killer played by Katie Tong - the American model provided Mona with her figure and facial features (the voice in both cases belongs to Wendy Hoopes).



In the first part of Max Payne, Mona's appearance is fleeting, but in the second she becomes a playable character with a very difficult fate: at the end of Max Payne 2, the heroine can die or survive - it all depends on the difficulty level chosen by the gamer.

Very little is known about Mona Sax, but she is certainly deadly.

9. Faith from the first game Mirror's Edge could hardly lay claim to the title of sex symbol, however, with the arrival of the updated heroine, who will appear in Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, the situation will change radically. However, for now you can only see the character in a few videos of the parkour simulator and on a small amount of art and screenshots.


It seems to us that the image of a girl is plastic and has not yet been clearly formed: her features can change barely noticeably. However, there will be almost nothing left of the old Faith - after all, we are waiting for a restart, not a sequel. At least that's what they say at DICE studio.


By the way, initially Faith was not supposed to be the main character of Mirror’s Edge, but then the developers liked her so much that they reconsidered the decision. In the original game, her age is 24 years old.

8. In the latest Batman games, at least two female characters deserve close attention: Harley Quinn and Catwoman. The first is a psychiatrist by training, who inadvertently fell in love with one of the villains and embarked on a slippery slope. Catwoman- no less strange (but for much more objective reasons), driven by its own principles and vision of justice.


Harley Quinn prefers bright clothes and makeup, but her provocative and uncontrollable behavior makes her wary. Therefore, we will still choose Selina Kyle, who eventually switched to tight outfits made of leather (as well as latex and spandex). It is not customary to talk about the age of women, but there is no escaping the truth: the heroine first appeared in a Batman comic all the way back in 1940. She cannot be called a “good guy” (or rather, a girl), since Selina is very fickle in her affections and aspirations.

7. Lara Croft the original version was too cartoonish even by the standards of the time. We're talking about the art and covers, not the game character itself: the modern gamer will laugh when he sees him. The heroine did not change much in subsequent years. However, modern beauty standards play a significant role: what seemed attractive 15-20 years ago is not so today.


The same is with Lara Croft, but with one nuance - the most “relevant” tomb raider (from 2013) is somehow not at all impressive. The survey showed that the most impressive in all respects is Lara from Tomb Raider: Anniversary 2007. Others were called “nothing” and even “spoiled.”


At one time, the adventurer became a sex symbol and, according to many, influenced culture. However, there was debate about that very influence - they said that Lara was promoting bad behavior and disobedience among girls and the younger generation.


6. Ada Wong appeared in the second Resident Evil game in 1998, but was also mentioned in the first part in 1996. The girl, whose real name remains a mystery, has chosen her own bright style: she prefers red dresses (or rather, the one who invented the character prefers them). This is explained by the origin of a secret agent and corporate spy - the heroine was born in a family of Chinese immigrants in America.


Ada Wong prefers to work for the bad guys, but at heart she remains true to all moral values. Previously, she has repeatedly received recognition from the gaming community as the most attractive character, but her movie version performed by Li Bingbing lags a little behind the game “prototype.” Wong has at least 11 Resident Evil games under her belt.


5. There's something alluring about deadly video game heroines, and the witch Bayonetta from the slasher film Bayonetta of the same name is proof of this. Sometimes a single game is enough to attract attention and remain in the ear for a long time. The second part of the project was released only on Wii, which cannot be called a super popular platform (meaning the international market). However, the sequel received high ratings and rave reviews.



Bayonetta is probably the oldest character in our ranking. The witch’s date of birth is frightening: she was born on December 19, 1411, and one of these days will celebrate her 604th birthday. You will need a big cake, and you can go broke on candles. Bayonetta has Hideki Kamiya to thank for her appearance, who decided that DMC's Dante and Viewtiful Joe's Joe should get the same crazy little sister.


4. Rhine from BloodRayne is a regular at various “beauty contests” among game characters. Since 2002, the attractive half-vampire has captured the imagination of many gamers, and somehow even Uwe Boll fell under her spell. The German director made three films, each more beautiful than the other. But let’s not talk about sad things, especially since in the first film the heroine was portrayed by the then former T-X terminator Kristanna Loken.


Rain was unable to gain a strong foothold in the entertainment industry: gamers preferred another fighter against the Nazis (or rather, their collective image in the form of mythical abominations) - William “BJ” Blazkovich from Wolfenstein.


3. With Dead or Alive, the situation is approximately the same as with the Soul Calibur series, which will be discussed below: the same incredible selection of athletic-looking women and the agony of choice. Still, it’s better to avoid Japanese fighting games.


The winner is a character with a completely non-Asian name - Lisa Hamilton(aka La Mariposa). In Dead or Alive 5, released in 2012, she was 23 years old, in DOA 4 - 21. It so happened that the most notable heroines of the rating, who took the highest places, cannot boast of an extensive and interesting biography. Mostly we are talking about victories and participation in fights, but how exactly Hamilton came to such a life is no longer so interesting.

They say that she played volleyball well and was one of the leading scientists at DOATEC.

2. Christy Monteiro from Tekken is another shining star of the gaming scene. Bright for a number of reasons. Firstly, she has undeniable qualities that allowed her to be placed as close to the top as possible. Secondly, Monteiro is one of the first Afro-Latino game characters in history. It is problematic to verify this, because the source cannot be called authoritative: Wikipedia presents this “scientific” fact, citing a commentator (!) under one of the news in the Western media. Very nice…


Monteiro is so attractive and charming that she became the heroine of a photo shoot for Maxim magazine. For ethical reasons, we will not publish images from Tekken Maxim Photoshoot. By the way, Namco claims that Christie was not invented by a talented artist and designer: the prototype was former supermodel Tyra Banks. Yes, Monteiro also appears in the 2010 Tekken feature film, played by Kelly Overton.

1. Soul Calibur - its female characters are remarkable almost without exception. My eyes ran wild, but the list gradually became smaller, until there was only one name left on it - femme fatale Ivy Valentine. She looks like a young girl compared to Bayonetta, but is still many times older than many others (Ivy's birth date is December 10, 1559).


Like some other participants in the rating, she cannot be called a purely positive or negative character. In some ways, she is like Catwoman: Ivy has a goal, but the heroine cares little about the means to achieve it. We, too, will not be particularly concerned about the moral aspects of the matter and will turn all our attention to the “exterior”. As a result, an Englishwoman with an American accent takes first place.


The appearance of “combat” women may differ from region to region: in Japan one girl appears on posters and covers, in Europe - another. It is a matter of fashion and values, which change over time and depend on geography. The characters evolve along with them. By the way, many in our editorial office were outraged that Liara T'Soni was not included in the rating, but, unfortunately, it is quite difficult to appreciate the beauty of an alien creature.

It is a mistake to think that men remember women only on March 8th. Sometimes, even sitting at a computer that is hated in the eyes of women, we think about them. And sometimes we not only think, but literally look into their eyes. Our selection includes the brightest beauties from video games. Stunning. Dangerous. Smart. Unpredictable. On February 23, we read about handsome men from the female half of MTS/Media, and here is our male answer - also for the holiday.

Lara Croft, Tomb Rider series

Lara is a great example of the important role that female characters play in video games. As you know, they are played mainly by men. Therefore, if you go from the very beginning, without much surprise you can observe how in each new part of the Tomb Rider game, Lara’s image became more and more frank and sexual. It's no joke: the players were seriously discussing how much the heroine's breasts would grow in the new part. Fortunately, the developers stopped in time, otherwise some next Lara Croft would certainly have become a character in a game of a completely different genre.

Lara Croft

In 2013, the creators of Tomb Rider changed course and turned Tomb Raider into a relatively modest-looking young girl. You may well come across one of these on your way home or at the next table in a cafe. True, the one you meet is unlikely to be able to take a hail of bullets and climb a sheer cliff in search of an ancient artifact. But Lara Croft still can.

Ada Wong, Resident Evil series

It just so happens that we men remember femme fatales most of all. Cold, unapproachable and so desirable. One of the first prizes in this category would undoubtedly go to Ada Wong from the Resident Evil series of zombie games. Armed and dangerous, Ada was not the center of attention in the game, but her every appearance on stage was imprinted in our memory.

Ada Wong

In the fourth installment of Resident Evil, Ada wore a completely impractical floor-length evening dress with a low neckline, uncomfortable shoes and a satin ribbon around her neck. The contrast with the surroundings (remember: this would be a dark and cold crypt) only added mystery to the beauty.

Morrigan, Dragon Age series

Witch. In everyday life, we often use this word as a swear word. But the beautiful brunette in the picture below is really a witch, nothing can be done about it. Morrigan is a witch from the Wild Lands, one of the companions of the main character of Dragon Age. The Vorozheya is remembered by many players primarily for her appearance. However, ladies with passable appearance are rarely taken into games.

Morrigan

Morrigan’s immodest neckline, which has not even passed our censorship, hardly hides the two undeniable advantages of the sorceress, and this is not what you think about, but magical power and the ability to masterfully weave intrigues. Having a sharp mind, the young sorceress respects only the strength that makes it possible to withstand the stormy flow of life. In the game, we are given a unique opportunity to build a very trusting relationship with Morrigan... under the constant risk of causing her anger.

Kate Walker, Syberia series

An unprepared reader, and especially a female reader, may get the wrong idea from our text about girls in computer games. In fact, the heroine of the game can be a very modest (in appearance too) and romantic girl who will not have any superpowers or even a gun. This is exactly what Kate Walker is like from the Syberia quests.

Keith Walker

In the game she has to be purposeful and very quick-witted. Without this, you won’t be able to convince a stubborn robot or move a train. Moreover, you won’t find mammoths. The long-awaited continuation of the story will be released in 2017, and, obviously, Kate will certainly have to develop her strong qualities. Given her love of adventure, we are sure she will only enjoy it.

Mona Sax, Max Payne series

Mona Sax is a killer. Her beauty is matched only by her ability to kill. Everything in Mona's life went wrong after meeting the main character of the game, detective Max Payne. That day, their destinies were intertwined, and at first not at all in the way that happens in melodramas.

Mona Sachs

Monet was “ordered” twice for the main character, but despite all her professionalism, she was unable to complete the task. As often happens in the life of a strong woman who meets a strong man, Mona fell in love. She even decides to leave her job as a hitman, but that’s not the case: people don’t just leave this business...

Elena Fisher, Uncharted series of games

Another cute girl who combines the talents of Mona Sachs and Kate Walker, that is, she can shoot and solve puzzles. Elena is a former television journalist, a fighting friend of the main character of Uncharted - Nathan Drake.

Elena Fisher

Despite the fact that soon after their meeting Elena and Nathan went to look for the coffin, looking at this snub-nosed blonde, you want to think about tenderness and homeliness. But Elena is not only about borscht. This will even stop a horse. Right in the middle of a burning hut.


Many male gamers in their favorite game, if possible, choose not a male but a female character. Well, take their place: if you choose not a girl, then dozens of hours, which are often spent on the game, will have to stare at some guy...

Elizabeth, Bioshock infinite game

From the point of view of many men, some beautiful girls are not at all spoiled by a bit of cartoonishness in their appearance. This is the main assistant of the main character of Bioshock Infinite. Elizabeth's story is quite tragic. Imprisoned from infancy in the celestial city of Columbia because of her superpowers, Elizabeth studied the outside world through books until she was 20. But then the prince came.

Elizabeth

Having escaped from the dungeon thanks to the main character, Elizabeth studies new things for her with great delight. How nice it is to watch her enjoy the beach or dance surrounded by real people. Her beauty lies in her innocence and unclouded gaze; you want to protect her and get her out of trouble. For this, the game opens up all the possibilities.

Yennefer, The Witcher series of games

But the talented sorceress Yennefer, the friend of the witcher Geralt, does not need to be protected - it is wiser to take care of her. Yen has a very difficult character, which does not prevent her from being damn attractive. Her long curly hair and violet eyes (and also the smell of lilac and gooseberries, of course) truly won the witcher’s heart forever, and yet he never missed a single skirt. And our hearts trembled too.

Yennefer

Vengeful and powerful, Yennefer of Vengerberg has amassed many enemies throughout her magical career. She is inventive in everything from international intrigue to sex. She is an example of a woman who is aware of her beauty and knows how to deftly use it. In general, everything is as we like it.

Sonya Blade, Mortal Kombat series

Tall blonde Sonya Blade was liked by many Mortal Kombat players because of her slender figure and rare ability... to beautifully finish off an enemy in a mortal battle. Let's say, with her long legs she can tear her adversary into pieces. Weak?

Sonya Blade

Sonya is a fighter in spirit. She commanded a special forces unit and was also married to Johnny Cage, another arena fighter. Attractive Sonya has something to attract a man's gaze, and perhaps this is where her main mortal danger lies.

Harley Quinn, a series of games about Batman

And finally, a truly bad girl. Her full name is Harlinn Quinzel. She is the Joker's assistant, and also in love with this madman. Sometimes a minus for a minus gives a plus, but not in the case of Harley, no.

Harley Quinn

She once worked as a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, but when she met the Joker, she opened the door to a world of madness and crime. In the games, Harley encounters Batman as a "boss" in one of the levels. Her image - the sexy Harlequin - is firmly imprinted in our memory. Of course, click on “Load saved game” so many times in a row...

Toys are a noble cause. They relieve stress, distract from reality, and give a lot of impressions. Here is our top - what we have personally tested and recommend: you will not regret any time, effort, or dead joysticks.

Ordinary people tell stories about how they go to work, sit with friends in cafes and sleep during breaks. To live brighter and have more cool stories in your arsenal about how you rescued princesses from the clutches of dragons, saved the world from the Forces of Evil and stole the cars of civilians in your spare time, do the right thing - play games.


An important point: this is not the top of the generally recognized best games, these are toys recent years, in which we, 2x2 employees, spent more than one night and which we would recommend to everyone. Trust us, we will not give bad advice.

The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE

Geralt, a specialist in the destruction of monsters, travels through a fantasy world in search of the girl Ciri, who can stop the coming of the Wild Hunt (just accept the fact that it is bad and scary). Walks through fields and forests, kills griffons, sleeps with beauties and jokes during breaks. Both the reaper and the trumpet player.

Every part of The Witcher is obscenely good, and with each subsequent toy in the series everything only gets better. This is even unfair to competitors, who a priori should be very ashamed of how they are compared to The Witcher. "Wild Hunt" is super-elaborate quests, many of which have an unreal cool story behind them. All completed quests and decisions affect the ending of the game, which is cool and motivating. The combat system here has received many advantages since the time of the second part. Signs have gained in usefulness, the world is detailed and open as much as possible.

Even those who just love cool novels will like it. And oh my, how many Localization gave rise to the most epic coubs!

Journey

Platforms: PS3, PS4


You are a mysterious someone, your goal is to get to a very distant mountain. The plot synopsis is more than fully described by this, but you can’t even imagine what a magical and unusual gaming experience is hidden behind it. This is very meditative and beautiful game- music, graphics, landscapes - in which you will need to go through very picturesque locations.

Everything here is really unusual and unusual. No map, no tips, no multiplayer as such, but! During your journey, you can meet another player and move with him to that same mountain. You know absolutely nothing about your companion - except that he is a living person. You have no means of communication other than some sort of screaming, and only at the end, after completing the Journey, do you see your companion's name in the credits. A very unusual and cool gaming experience.

Grand Theft Auto V


There's no point in advertising GTA. Every Pokemon has known about the delights of this world since the days of Vice City. But the fifth part (aka the 15th game in the series) is something. Oh my God, Rockstar killed 266! millions! dollars! into game development! There are 3 main characters here with well-developed characters, whose stories are intertwined. The final goal is to rob the US Federal Storage, taking out more than 200 million dollars in bags and pockets. Oh my!

GTA V has maximum freedom: an open dynamic world, the ability to switch between heroes at any time and as many as 3 endings to the main storyline. Steal, go to strip clubs, steal cars, love, watch TV, do yoga, play Tamagotchi, take selfies, smuggle contraband! Everything is possible here.

And breaking news for those who have slept in a hole in recent years: GTA V finally has multiplayer. Now you can do the same thing online with your gang, and having friends is not at all necessary. But be prepared for a Game of Thrones style death - very, very sudden.

Deponia The Complete Journey

Platforms: PC


Deponia is a cool humorous quest that improves logic and erudition. An ideal option for those who can’t stand shooting games and consider ordinary quests primitive and boring. The plot of the quest is that Rufus, tired of life on a small planet littered with garbage, makes ridiculous escape plans one after another.

You don’t need a Friend level IQ to pass, don’t be alarmed, but The puzzles and plot are really cool, and the solutions are not always obvious. Deponia The Complete Journey is one of the best representatives in its genre. The only thing is to be prepared for the fact that localization killed a good half of the jokes, so if English allows, go in the original.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360, PS4, XBOX ONE


A fabulous cooperative puzzle adventure with not the most intricate plot, but a very powerful moral underpinning. There are two brothers whose mother died a long time ago, and then suddenly their father became very ill. The only thing that can save him is the sap of a huge tree that grows behind mountains, forests, fields and generally very far away. A strong and dramatic story that the creators managed to tell without using words (at least humanly understandable) at all.

There is no cooperative as such here: you will play as both brothers at the same time(get your joysticks ready, it will be hard without them). At first, the brain will refuse to understand how this is even possible, but over time it will get involved and even begin to enjoy such a process. The gameplay is original and intuitive: only two buttons to interact with the outside world, and two sticks to control the brothers.

There is nothing here besides the main storyline, and it goes through quite quickly - in about 4 hours. All scenes and tasks are very original and atmospheric, there are no repeating mechanics, but there are magnificent colorful landscapes. The story itself is cruel and bloody in places, but most importantly, very magical and emotionally powerful.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE


Team-based online shooter from Blizzard with fantasy art. In the future, the machines have risen after all, as the Terminator promised. But the Overwatch organization was able to overcome the rebel robots. Everything calmed down, the guys from the organization ceased to be needed by humanity, which is why they were forced to go home. But a few years later, crime gained momentum, and Overwatch members had to reunite as a team and take up arms in order to save civilians.

Multiplayer ideal, raised to absolute. Based on the experience of Team Fortress 2, which is played even almost 10 years after its release, it is basically obvious: team shooters live outside of time, like Tsoi, once they conquer their audience. Blizzard did not impose its game - the noise around it arose and did not subside from the first days of the beta release. And after the release, the servers, which were designed for something inhuman, crashed. The flow of people wanting to play turned out to be greater than this very “inhuman” thing.

Overwatch is very different characters, each with its own history and skills, a bunch of arenas and modes(3 cards each). Persians do not need leveling or customization, everything is decided only by your personal skills- nothing extra. Gameplay is intuitive and clear, and even your girlfriend will like it due to the drawing: she will stick to the monitor while you create destruction.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE


The nuclear boom has given rise to a post-apocalypse. Only those who managed to reach the bunker survived. Everything is either half-destroyed or half-mutated. After 200 years, the hero crawls out of the bunker and goes for a walk through the destroyed world in search of his son, Shaun the sheep.

Generally recognized as one of the most anticipated projects of 2015 more likely to succeed than not. The locations are well-developed, the enemies are very terrifying, the quests are interesting(although, to be fair, there is also wild boredom like “bring me that thing that’s quietly lying across the road”), the overall plot is gaining momentum, and in the end it turns out that the hero is involved in some wild story. For fans of the original duology it will cause pain and a burning sensation below the back, but for everyone else it will be very playable.

Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE


Hipster adventure movie quest, Very cool interactive everyday life, in which you live the life of a girl student, Max. At a critical moment, the gentle creature discovers the ability to rewind time and correct mistakes. At first, the skill is used mainly for everyday student trifles, but as the action progresses, it turns out that the city of Max is facing an apocalypse, and it would be good to prevent it.

The game was released as a series, episode by episode, and if the first parts are similar to a girl's series with a teenage drama, then somewhere in the middle the suffering fades into the background, and the main thing becomes The hellish mystery of the disappearance of a girl in the style of "Twin Peaks". Every decision and action has its fruits and sooner or later it will definitely come back to haunt you. Included - cool soundtrack, well-developed detective plot, realism with a pleasant dose of mysticism. The disappointing thing, however, is that the final choice is the same for everyone and does not depend on your previously made decisions.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Platforms: PS4


The main character Nathan and his wife bought a house, chose curtains to match the color of the sofas and happily live a quiet life until Nathan’s older brother, who was considered dead for many years, turns up. Oh, yes: in the previous parts of the game, Nathan was a treasure hunter. Little has changed here: suddenly the living brother says that there is a treasure waiting in Madagascar, and the guys go in search of the mythical Libertalia.

Impossible beautiful exclusive for Sonya, which forced many stubborn PC people to get a console. "A Thief's End" is elaborate third-person action with puzzles, shootouts(there are more weapons in the arsenal, and shootouts are approaching the title of ideal), action scenes at the level of Hollywood action films and the ability to choose answers in dialogues. But be prepared for a very poor Russian localization.

Need for Speed ​​(2015)

Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE


There is no point in talking about the legendary Need for Speed ​​racing - they earned their name back in the distant 2000s. This is not just a game, this is a real era. The 2015 restart has everything that the mutated series managed to lose in the last parts: advanced car tuning, a brave new open world, and police racing.

At first it seems that restarting the series is not the idea of ​​the creators, but of PR people who wanted more gold from an already obsolete product. But in reality it turns out that the game is from the 15th year absorbed all the best from the previous parts, and the output was the very essence of Need for Speed. A must for anyone who has ever felt the rush of adrenaline behind a keyboard, joystick or a real steering wheel.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX ONE


Welcome to the interactive Game of Thrones. You are the Dragonborn who conveniently arrives in the province of Skyrim just when he is needed most. The world is threatened with death from dragons, and you need to overcome a lot of difficulties to stop the fire breathers and their lord Alduin.

The world here is also infinitely open, the player can do whatever he wants. The graphics are wildly beautiful and cause multiple aesthetic orgasms. Plus complete creative freedom: you can start a family, you can become a thief, a murderer, a noble knight - or even a princess. Eat spectacular battles, the ability to upgrade certain attacks and skills. The good thing about the plot is that certain RPG mechanisms generate their own stories, which is original and addictive.

The most honest Skyrim trailer ever.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360


Everything here is as gloomy as in the horror stories about “a black, black street in a black, black city.” People have been decimated by a disease that turns everyone into the undead, and the main character goes on a long trip to restore white balance and stop the approaching Age of Darkness. And so you walk around the world, completing quests and fighting enemy creatures.

It won't be fun or easy - only difficulty level 180 and fear, only hardcore. Remember "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on Dandy, in which, when you died, you found yourself at the very beginning? It's about the same here, but lighter. Every creature taller than half a meter kills you in two spits, and each death throws you back strongly, taking away the accumulated experience. But at least not to the beginning.
builds character and works magic on the nervous system, and against the backdrop of a clear trend towards simplifying games, it is delightful and especially valuable. A must for those who really like to overcome difficulties.

Tomb Raider (2013)

Platforms: PC, MAC, PS3, XBOX 360


Tomb Raider (2013) is a prequel to the very first game in the series. Here Lara famously transforms from an archaeological university graduate into a fierce sex symbol for all gamers. In the story, Lara and her expedition are looking for a lost civilization, but a terrible storm destroys the ship, and then throws all the survivors onto the shore of a seemingly uninhabited island.

When Crystal Dynamics announced that it was planning to... bring gaming's most famous woman up to date, the world held its breath: it’s clear that restarts are a terrible thing. But in the end it turned out very well: a perfectly executed third-person combat system, enjoyable gameplay and a realistic system for acquiring survival skills. Is it true, brain-racking puzzles have gone into oblivion, for which old Lara was so famous. But this is compensated by a large number of advantages - take at least a good competitive multiplayer system and Lara’s breasts, which retained their firmness.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE, ANDROID, IOS


Dandy's dead joysticks and childhood will never go away, but time passes. In recent years, “Mortal” has been gaining momentum and evolving, and in the “top ten” this is felt especially powerfully: the bones crunch here as loudly as ever. For example, Sonya and Johnny Cage had children who inherited their parents' love for blood and also rip out the insides of everyone they come across. For example, in the 10th part, you can destroy, ugh, a father’s manhood with the hands of his own daughter.

New heroes like Predator, and also those who returned from vacation (for example, Tanya from part 4). In general, ideal k-k-combo pairs for fights. And there’s more variety: Now you can choose priorities in battle for each hero. From controversial points, an opportunity arose... buy Fatality. The archaic keystroke system still works, but now you can get away with it simply by paying.

It’s also known as “Watch the Dog”, “Watch the Dog” and how else this name has not been joked about. A guy in a fashionable cap is engaged in magical hacking - he hacks the phones of rich and respected people using Bluetooth. At one party he is fired upon and a chase begins, during which the hero’s niece dies in an accident. And he decides to become an avenger.

Basic the plot is not that wow, not particularly memorable or stands out in any way. But there are funny dialogues and jokes that smooth out the situation. There is complete beauty and detail all around, Although There are problems with physics and textures. There will be many plot Easter eggs, games of hide and seek, action, shootouts, racing and good tasks outside the main storyline.

True, we still didn’t understand What do dogs have to do with all this?.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360


Mix of adventure-shooter-RPG first-person, in which you play as a guy whose vacation hasn't gone according to plan. Jason Brody (this is you, meet me) comes with friends to an exotic island, where they hang out, have fun, take selfies, jump with parachutes, until one day they are captured by sadistic pirates. Jason manages to escape, and he is fired up with a desire to take terrible revenge.

But all this is summed up in such a way that the result is something completely new.. And although the game world is fictional, you still immerse yourself in it and believe: atmosphere and detail take their toll.

Something very terrible happened in the world: everything fell apart into small pieces, and the only place that survived was the Bastion. The blond guy, whom you have to play for, wakes up in an incomprehensible place and is going to go towards this very Bastion, where he finds out that the fortress has been destroyed, and in order to restore it (and the world) and destroy the universal Evil, you will have to make a lot of effort than you and get busy.

A very nice and detailed adventure game, in which it is not immediately clear what WTF is going on here . You travel to different locations, fight local bosses and difficulties, then move back to Bastion, where you choose what weapons you will take and what potions you will throw in before your trip. Towards the middle you are already getting ready strategically choose the right equipment, which adds a decent amount of advantages to the game’s interestingness.

Fantasy adventure, which at first glance is very similar to Bastion (the same developer, after all), but in fact it is something completely different. You will have to play as the red-haired singer Red, whose life was recently attempted and who is determined to fiercely take revenge for this. On her side is a huge talking sword, Transistor, in which the consciousness of the unknown person who saved Red’s life is placed.

Outwardly, everything is similar to Bastion: a third-person action RPG in which you need to travel through a beautiful fantasy world, fight and do all sorts of little things. But the gameplay has become deeper since the studio's first game, the story is more personal, and the atmosphere is atmospheric. If you give free rein to whining, you can say about Monotonous battles and fairly short game duration.

A high-quality puzzle experiment with fairly complex puzzles- for logically thinking masochists who like to test their wits and cannot imagine life without difficulties.

She has a portal gun at her disposal, with which she can move herself and other objects.

It won't be too difficult at first, but that's just the beginning.: further even primitive things will become confusing, and an empty room will turn into a quest.

18. BloodRayne Series

A series of games popular in the early 2000s with a female character in the leading role - the young dhampir Raine, who eliminates supernatural and dangerous creatures around the world: mutants, etc. The fame of the BloodRayne games was largely due to the flamboyant main character, armed with two impressive blades on her wrists, with which she deftly chopped up enemies, cutting off their heads and limbs. She also used the weapons of defeated opponents and performed very difficult acrobatic stunts: she jumped several meters up, slid down railings, deftly clung to cornices and gratings, was able to shoot while hanging upside down, and so on. And at critical moments, being half a vampire, she could even drink the blood of her enemies or use supernatural abilities.

The heroine will have to defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and help her brothers, War and Death, to understand the intricacies of intrigue between angels and demons, which led to the end of the world.

Almost no computer game can do without girls, because their role in the gaming world and any other world is immeasurably huge. Just imagine if you always had to play as a brutal jock with a rough voice and the same type of facial expressions (Duke, old man, no offense!). I don’t even want to think about this, because some games simply would not have gained such wild popularity if their main characters were men. We have compiled a Top of the best video games, where the main attention is paid to the fairer sex.

10. Alice (Alice: Madness Returns)

Although the grandmother also said something about the weaker sex. Crazy Alice, known to many from Lewis Carroll's fairy tale, returned to computer games in 2011. In a platformer Alice: Madness Returns American McGee was again able to capture the minds of gamers with a very unusual way of storytelling: Alice lives in two worlds, real and fictional, and if in the first we see a closed girl among the grotesque images of old London, then in the “looking glass” she opens up and comes to life. .. then she picks up a hefty cleaver and sets off to chop up everyone who shows her his unfriendly grin.

Even if you have read books and watched films about strange Alice, this psychological slasher will not seem ordinary to you.

Alice receives one March hare out of ten from us!

9. Heroines of the Fatal Frame series

With the exception of the first part, all subsequent Fatal Frame games (including the last, fifth) offered to play as young Japanese girls. It’s difficult to name which ones were most memorable, since each heroine is unique in its own way.

As you progress, you will become deeply attached to the girls, and each experience will be your own. For example, in In Fatal Frame 2, you can't help but be inspired by the strength of the relationship between two sisters, and if you miss the individuality of the characters in games, then Fatal Frame 3 is just what the doctor ordered.

8. Chell (Portal)

The extraordinary Portal was not captivated by its attractive character, at least not the one the player plays for. But we simply had to add this game to our list, and now you will understand the reason. The heroine of this duology is a girl named Chell, who must go through a series of visual puzzles in order to deceive the artificial intelligence and leave the Aperture Science complex.

Just imagine what it’s like to be the only girl, and indeed person, in a whole complex full of crazy robots. Despite all the difficulties, Chell does not give in to panic and carefully goes through tasks one after another until she gets to the desired cake, the source of all the problems.

Chell is content with three broken beds out of ten!

7. Faith Connors (Mirror's Edge)

Asian again, but now bolder and even more agile. Our heroine, Faith Connors, is 24 years old and just hates the government. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Faith is a professional tracer who moonlights as a special forces courier.

And Faith would be doing just fine, but one day her sister Kate gets into trouble, and from that moment everything goes down the drain. The player will have to run a lot, perform complex acrobatic stunts and constantly run away from superior police forces. Faith was so beloved by the public that EA decided to bring her back in the sequel-reboot of this game.

6. Heather (Silent Hill 3)

Heather is one of the most famous heroines of the survival horror genre (you’ll find out why she’s not the most famous later). An unremarkable teenage girl suddenly finds herself in a whirlpool of inexplicable events. What inexplicable things are there - events that would make even George Martin's hair turn grey.

But Heather turns out to be not a timid girl - the girl very skillfully handles firearms and knives, destroying terrible monsters on her way, solves dozens of complex puzzles and strives to get to the truth at all costs.

Definitely five faceless nurses out of ten!

5. Sexy chicks from Dead or Alive

We simply could not ignore the DOA series, famous for its titty heroines in revealing outfits, because here, not one, but a whole dozen busty beauties, each of which has its own story and, will please the eyes of the male (and maybe some female) part of gamers. of course, costumes. Thousands of them!

If, for some unknown reason, what is in the picture above does not attract you, then you always have the opportunity to choose a pumped-up man, since they are also present in the game. But we still advise you to stay on the beautiful field - the physics of some parts of the heroines’ bodies will certainly make you squeeze your joystick tighter in your hands... and play, play, play!

Six nose-bleeding Japanese out of ten!

4. Bayonetta

On the fourth we have a game whose protagonist is a witch over 500 years old. You've probably already imagined an old woman with a humpbacked, pimply nose and a wrinkled face. Well, this is what Bayonetta actually looks like:

The entire gameplay is built around the provocative antics and techniques of the main character, who does not leave the image of a fatal temptress (and this is putting it mildly) throughout the game. And don’t be fooled by these alluring eyes and curvaceous forms - Bayonetta is not a good witch at all, but a representative of the forces of evil, and also the last of her kind. Her cunning is so great that you will never have time to enjoy the gameplay, because Bayonetta constantly distracts from the mass genocide of angels with her spectacular stunts and revealing costumes, which she sometimes does not hesitate to take off...

Seven disappearing panties out of ten!

3. BloodRayne

We already had witches, let's talk about vampires, or rather about female vampires, or more precisely about dhampirs, who, unlike their ordinary brothers, can appear in the sun. A buxom, red-haired girl named Rain at one time held more people in front of the screens than is now possible Dota 2. Who would refuse to contemplate the sweet-looking forms of the main character, moreover, seasoned with an interesting plot and quite abundant gameplay of the slasher genre?

Unfortunately, after the release of the second part, the release of games about the red-haired dhampir was suspended, but the memory of her still lives in the minds of fans. Based on the game, the notorious Uwe Boll riveted as many as three films, which every self-respecting person will bypass.

Eight delicious necks out of ten!

2. Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

Here it is, the dream of many men and schoolchildren - Jill Valentine. It is this heroine that is considered the most famous in the survival horror genre. Ever since the first Resident Evil Jill has acquired a considerable number of fans. At that time, brave female warriors with a shotgun at the ready were rarely seen in computer games, and therefore players immediately took a liking to this character.

Thanks to modern graphics in the re-release Resident Evil: Revelations for PC and recent Resident Evil HD Remaster Jill is incredibly pleasant to look at. Some male gamers even complained that they could not concentrate on destroying enemies, instead staring thoughtfully at the heroine’s forms.

We award nine out of ten clips fired to Jill!

1. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)

Despite all the love for the Resident Evil series and Jill in particular, the first place quite expectedly goes to a series of games about the tomb raider Lariska Croft. The Tomb Raider games revolutionized the action-adventure genre in their time. Imagining someone in Lara’s place now is as difficult as New Year’s without Olivier, as Half-Life 3 without Gabe Newell's grin is like game piracy without torrents... well, you get the idea.

During her existence, Lara has become a real icon of computer games, having managed to be both a fearless adventurer and a fragile and defenseless girl in the recent reboot. There is no doubt that the multifaceted Miss Croft will make people talk about herself with a degree of admiration more than once.

Lara gets ten hot guns out of ten!

Anticipating the questions of inattentive readers “And Elizabeth?”, “And Alix?” and others like them, we would like to point out once again that these are the Top games with girls in main roles. What's your favorite game with a protagonist at the helm?
