Nonetheless, there have been rather a lot of characters over time, and it may be robust to know who’s the very best of the very best.

After hundreds and hundreds of battles with matchups like Cloud Strife vs. Stable Snake and Nathan Drake vs. Aloy, the best PlayStation character, in line with you, has been determined. Who took the highest spot? Drumroll please…
BOY… what a selection. With an 89.4% win share that is worthy of the gods, Kratos has defeated all who stood in his approach but once more to say this coveted Platinum Trophy. The star of God of Struggle Ragnarok and the character who first appeared on PlayStation 2 in 2005 secured victory in 42,088 of his 47,099 battles.
Whereas the possibilities of Kratos’ victory could have been boosted by the current launch of God of Struggle Ragnarok, he’s undeniably an iconic character who has gone by way of a number of the best character progress we have seen out and in of video video games. I imply, we gave each 2018’s God of Struggle and this 12 months’s God of Struggle Ragnarok a ten/10, and a giant motive why was Kratos and Atreus’ transferring journey exterior of the fight and offended screams.
The highway to PlayStation glory was a troublesome one, nevertheless, and Uncharted’s Nathan Drake put up a very good battle and earned second place with a win share of 83.2%.

Talking of characters worthy of a change of medium, The Final of Us’ Joel Miller claimed spot #3 with an 80.8% win share, and Ellie wasn’t far behind as she completed eighth. Whereas it could be a while till we get one other journey that includes these characters, Joel and Ellie will probably be delivered to life by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in HBO’s The Final of Us early subsequent 12 months.
Rounding out the highest 10 have been Steel Gear Stable’s Stable Snake, Marvel’s Spider-Man’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, Remaining Fantasy VII’s Cloud Strife, The Final of Us’ Ellie (as we talked about), Ratchet & Clank’s Ratchet, and Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin Sakai.
On the opposite finish of the PlayStation spectrum sit Odin Sphere’s Oswald and Gwendolyn, who claimed the underside two spots. We, at IGN, love Odin Sphere and its remake Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir, however these video games are a bit area of interest when in comparison with the others.
The Mark of Kri’s Rau Utu adopted our Odin Sphere mates and, not like lots of the characters on the checklist, hasn’t had a brand new recreation or look since 2005. The Getaway’s Frank Carter positioned one forward of Rau after which, regardless of her being a part of the roster of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Fats Princess adopted.
Rounding out the underside 10 have been The Getaway’s Mark Hammond, Remaining Fantasy Ways’ Delita Heiral, Syphon Filter’s Lian Xing, UmJammer Lammy’s Lammy, and Medal of Honor’s Manon Batiste.
