10 Video Game Heroes Way Worse Than The Villain

Continuing on from the mind-bending narrative that BioShock Infinite put in front of us, comes a truly awful protagonist. A soldier whose mind had been torn apart from war and the things he’d experienced, falling deeper and deeper into a paranoid, schizophrenic episode. However, this time there’s more than him and his daughter at stake. As his title suggests, Captain Walker leads two men into the uninhabitable Dubai on a mission that wasn’t sanctioned or even necessary at all.

Making their way through the desert, killing innocent people, due to either anger or sheer ignorance, Walker falls further and further into the abyss. He’s tormented by his past and hallucinates his nemesis, John Konrad, holding imaginary men for him to rescue.

Yet, when it comes to the end, his two men dead, Walker all alone, saturated in the blood of the people he’s killed, including the innocents murdered with white phosphorous, he has an epiphany. John Konrad has been dead for weeks, Walker’s radio never worked, his initial orders were to leave the city and he’d been imagining it all. Creating a narrative in his head to justify his war crimes and motivate his two most loyal soldiers.
