4 Games with Black Protagonists

Hello fellow gamers, as Black History Month comes to an end we don’t want to miss the opportunity to shine some light on a few Black video game protagonists. These games just happen to be single player games. If you have no problem playing games alone or taking turns, give these a try.

Deathloop

Deathloop is an amazing game where you play as an assassin named Colt. You are stuck in a time loop on an island and your objective is to kill 8 targets before the loop resets. You have to complete all of this fighting others on the island and being  hunted down by another assassin named Julianna, whose only goal is to keep killing you to keep the loop going.

The Walking Dead is a story game that takes place in the TWD universe. You play as Clementine, a young girl who has to grow up in this apocalypse with her younger companion, AJ. Your choices greatly affect the game throughout the 5 episodes, and both children overgo big changes in character overtime. This is a great choice if you enjoy telltale/decision-driven games.

Prototype 2 is a twist to the original Prototype, where the main character of the last game turns into the villain. After finding out you lost your wife and child to the Blacklight virus, you join the military to fight against it. You then learn that Alex Mercer, the one who stopped the virus a year before, started a new outbreak after losing faith in humanity and wanting to wipe it out. So you must stop him.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man, and it did not disappoint. It had a lot of new features to try, and digs deeper into Miles’ backstory. Even though the game is shorter overall, it still provides a lot of enjoyment to players. Miles' character is continued in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, as you can play as him and Peter.
