10 Least Threatening Video Game Protagonists

7. Isaac (The Binding Of Isaac)

Kirby character

He's a little pink kid who uses his own tears to fight, do we really need to say any more? At the start of each playthrough, Isaac is undoubtedly one of the most feeble video game characters of all time, crying his way through one room after another in order to eliminate groups of gruesome enemies in his quest to eventually defeat his own mother and escape his nightmarish dungeon prison.

One of the fun things about playing The Binding Of Isaac is how much the game can change from one run to the next. The procedurally-generated environments can be filled with all sorts of power-ups, power-downs, and additional items to change Isaac's abilities and physical appearance.

If you get lucky and find the very best weapons, Isaac starts to look a little more intimidating as he sprouts devilish horns and starts shooting lasers. In most runs, however, he tends to remain rather pudgy and pitiful all the way through.
