#1 Resident Evil Requiem
5.0

Protagonist appeal was strong where reviewers called Grace the standout lead.

Pros: pacing, combat system

Cons: originality

#2 Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
4.8

The fully voiced adult protagonist is a major improvement for many players, feeling like an actual participant in the story rather than a silent stand-in.

Pros: combat system, narrative quality

Cons: difficulty balance, grind level

#3 Onimusha: Way of the Sword
4.6

Musashi is one of the strongest points of agreement: reviewers repeatedly call him charismatic, funny, cool, expressive, and easy to root for, with only a small minority finding his arc...

Pros: combat system, fun factor

Cons: pacing, open-world design

#4 Monster Hunter Wilds
4.0

Protagonist appeal improved for one reviewer because the hunter and Palico speaking made the story presentation feel less awkward.

Pros: combat system, narrative quality

Cons: difficulty balance, endgame content

#5 Mega Man X: Command Mission
3.2

X's revised armor and diplomatic side make him appealing to some players. Another finds his personality too thin to make him an engaging lead.

Pros: combat system, overall quality

Cons: fun factor, narrative quality

#6 Pragmata
3.0

Hugh’s protagonist appeal is mixed: some found him endearing or refreshing, while others saw him as generic or vanilla.

Pros: combat system, emotional impact

Cons: map and navigation design, platforming precision

#7 Street Fighter 6
2.0

The World Tour avatar/protagonist drew criticism when described as mute and overly errand-focused.

Pros: accessibility options, combat system

Cons: narrative quality, frame rate stability
