Were looking at the 10 most badass female characters who made a splash in gaming this year.

Badass women take many forms in videogames.

Badass is a spectrum, and people can fit in that spectrum in many different ways.

The only thing she has a soft spot for are cats.

Zelda isnt just the princess of Hyrule anymore, but the leader and inheritor of an entire kingdom.

Itll be interesting to see a version of Cereza who hasnt fully realised her powers just yet.

Thats horrific, but its also pretty badass.

Lilith is mother, and I mean that literally.

Yes, the premise of Diablo 4 is basically ‘go kill your mum’.Good luck with that.

Ellie goes through harrowing conditions and survives grievous injuries and still, she endures and survives.

The Flash mournfully tells her that shell have to kill the entire League to do it.

She even used all her savings to help a Sumeru orphanage, at one point.
