10 Best Video Game Anti-Heroes Of All Time

1. Kratos - God Of War Series

Could it be anyone else? Kratos is right on the fence, borderline evil if need be. Anti-Hero or Anti-Villain, you decide.

But Kratos is, justifiably, revenge-fuelled chaos incarnate. Killing anything and everything, only stopping now and then to bed a woman... or two.

Open to slaughtering innocent people in his way, or even use them to solve puzzles and open doorways, for example: sticking a prisoner woman in the gears of a lever to keep one open. She dies, crushed and mulched to death.

Kratos tears apart the world as of a result of his quest for vengeance: killed the sun, flooded the world, released demons from the underworld.

All in all, a delusional, beast of a man blinded by revenge. Only at the end of God of War 3 does he realise the damage he's caused, before taking appropriate action.
