There’s many attractive women and men in video games.
Yes, they’re virtual fictional characters, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have
sex appeal.
And hey, sometimes it’s kind of nice to appreciate the aesthetic of the person you’re
playing.
So today, we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 sexiest video game characters.
Let’s see if your favourite made the cut.
10 Triss Merigold The Witcher Let’s start off with a beauty of a red head,
Triss Merigold of The Witcher.
Triss is one of the only non-playable characters who made this list, and one of multiple love
interests for Geralt.
But she serves a bigger purpose than romance - Tries is a sorceress, known as the Fourteenth
of the Hill since it was believed she was killed during the Battle of Sodden Hill.
And, fun fact, during the marketing leading up to the Witcher 2’s release, she was on
the polish Playboy as a cover girl.
9 Snow Villers – Final Fantasy XIII Snow’s got some serious surfer/snowboarder
vibes going on.
Snow, created in contrast to Lightning, has a passionate and impulsive attitude, but has
received a lot of hate from fans of the Final Fantasy games.
He’s a little bit cheesy, but that’s why his fans like him.
That, and maybe the shock of blonde hair with that stubbly jaw.
In later games, his appearance changes slightly, opting out for a less boyish look and more
of an adult one with longer slicker hair.
8 Joel – The Last of Us Rugged, hardened and has a traumatic past
he’ll NEVER want to talk to you about - that’s what you can expect from Joel from The Last
Of Us.
Joel doesn’t have any of the fancy super human abilities that others on this list may
have; his ability is being able to survive in some of the toughest, most terrifying situations,
and keep his head while doing it.
Not to mention, the father/daughter bond he shares with Ellie is perhaps one of the most
heart warming relationships in contemporary video games.
At the start of the game we see a slightly younger Joel, and for the most part play a
slightly matured one, both of which are total babes.
7 Samus Aran Metroid Flipping back over to the more feminine side
of gaming, let’s take a look at Samus Aran; the kick ass intergalactic bounty hunter surprised
most fans with the reveal of her gender at the end of the first Metroid game in 1986,
making fans question why they assumed she was male in the first place.
She was orphaned during a space pirate raid on her home of K-2L, and taken to Zebes where
she was raised to become a warrior.
For the most part, we play as Samus when she’s wearing her power armour, with her taking
it off at the end of the game - usually as a reward for beating it within a certain time
frame.
Regardless, Samus has always stood out as being a character symbolizing courage, power
and heroism.
6 Geralt – The Witcher Geralt of Rivia is the protagonist of The
Witcher series, and he’s got that silver fox thing going on.
He’s cunning, and rarely partakes in pleasures beyond that of women or the occasional tankard.
He’s a gifted swordsman, and aims to choose the lesser evil when making decisions.
And he’s definitely not afraid to get a little kinky.
5 Bayonetta There’s a lot of fans out there that consider
Bayonetta to be the hottest female ever invented.
Yes, this is a thing on the internet.
And hey, fair enough - Bayonetta, while being a cheeky sophisticated ruthless killer, has
definitely got a lot going on that could easily enchant any player.
So, why do people feel that she’s the babelist babe out there?
Those long legs, the sexy librarian glasses, the scantily clad/sometimes not clad at all
outfits, the slight BDSM vibe that she and some of her attacks give off, and her generally
bad assery when it comes to killing her foes in her hack and slash games.
4 Commander Shepard – Mass Effect This may seem like a cop out, but hear me
out.
One of the best parts of Mass Effect is how the game allows for the players choices to
impact the narrative of the game.
This includes your protagonist; you play as Commander Shepard, and you get to choose whether
to play as a female or male.
And you also get to choose who you’re romantically involved with, with options for same sex coupling
or interspecies coupling.
So there’s something inherently sexy about a character whom you dictate so much selection
over.
And it helps that developers made both the fem shep and male shep incredible hot.
Strong jaws, expressive eyes, and hot bods.
How could anyone on your ship say no?
3 Chun Li – Street Fighter Chun Li is one of the more female playable
characters in gaming history.
So naturally, she has a pretty large following of fans who think she’s super hot.
She’s even got a valiant cosplay fan base that produces many an attractive rendition
of the character in real life.
Many attribute her attractiveness to her curves and her way around a fight.
Others attribute it to that skirt of hers.
And some just downright think that Cammy is more attractive.
Whatever floats your boats, friends.
2 Nathan Drake The lead protagonist in the Uncharted series
is a man of many talents.
One of those talents is being undeniably attractive.
Just ask any of his romantic interests over the years; it’s hard to not fall in love
with him and his charismatic, thrill seeking yet overall good hearted nature.
He’s not afraid of a little danger, he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, and he looks
damn good while he’s doing it.
Nathan has long held the title of the sexiest man in video games to date, although some
of the men on this list do give him quite a run for his money.
But there’s something about a charming adventurer with a bit of bad boy streak that leaves us
enchanted by him more than the rest.
1 Lara Croft Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame is perhaps
the most iconic sex symbol in the video game industry.
Initially just a set of sharp sexy polygons and now a fleshed out 3D character, Lara has
always been a particular fancy for gamers, to the point where there was even a rumour
of a cheat that allowed you to get her naked.
But gone are the days of mindless objectification – the latest instalments of the character
have developed her into a complex, flawed yet ridiculously endearing person.
Who is still insanely attractive.
Some things never change.
