What an.... interesting list. What are we thinking?

Personally I'm stunned Lara Croft made the top five and Agent 47 seems like an odd choice. Small sample size?

**The full list: **

  1. Lara Croft, Tomb Raider

  2. Mario, Super Mario

  3. Agent 47, Hitman

  4. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog

  5. Sackboy, LittleBigPlanet

  6. Pac-Man, Pac-Man

  7. Link, The Legend of Zelda

  8. Master Chief, Halo

  9. Kratos, God of War

  10. Shadowheart, Baldur’s Gate 3

  11. Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2

  12. Pikachu, Pokémon

  13. Steve, Minecraft

  14. Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid

15.Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot

  1. Cloud Strife, Final Fantasy VII

  2. Astarion, Baldur’s Gate 3

  3. Kazuma Kiryu, Yakuza

Agent 47 over Sonic? Pikachu not even in the top 10? Yeah, this list is wack.

I think it could be successfully argued that Pikachu is only top 10 if we include presence in non-gaming media.

Sackboy being on the list though is wild

I'm interested to see if they provided a list or if they asked people to submit their own choices. Sackboy and Arthur Morgan are....I mean I'd argue Arthur isn't even the most iconic character in his own game. Surely that honour goes to John Marston?
