15 New Video Game Heroes - Ranked From Worst To Best

6. Clementine (The Walking Dead)

The WD games remain some of the most nerve-wracking and genuinely harrowing experiences you'll ever, with Clem - following all the training she received from Lee in season one - evolving into a young girl who will do whatever's necessary to survive the zombie-infested post-apocalypse.

Although you do have some control over how she's perceived by the other characters in terms of dialogue options and actions in the first game, many secondary characters come to rely and depend on her as both she and their collective groups mature in time.

Clem used to be the youngest female protagonist ever seen in a mainstream game, but as the writers keep throwing increasingly macabre events her way, it helps highlight just what stellar foundations were put in place back in that 2012 original.
