Every year we get new characters that we either love or hate and at least one more is added to the pantheon of fantastic video game characters. This year was not exception.

Atsu – Ghost of Yotei

Atsu isn’t just a great new character she helps push the stereotypical envelope of female video game protagonists a bit further with an interesting story and someone who grows, understands her limits, and makes mistakes. This gives Atsu something that the player can relate to and fall in love with. Atsu is another fantastic character to add the PlayStation lineup.
