What games do you find most encouraging?

What video games or characters do you find most encouraging when you need it? For me, it is Ellie in TLOU. Her different perspective on life helps me reframe challenging situations IRL.

Probably sounds crazy but the characters from Animal Crossing are ones that I find really encouraging if I am honest. They are so positive no matter what happens in the game and it pushes me to want to be as positive as they are when it comes to things happening in life. I am the kind of person that when something goes wrong I always think bad at first and I hate that.

Ghost of Tsushima is very encouraging plus the protagonist. One of the last of the samurais against an invasion and all odds. Holding onto honor despite having to change tactics and engage in stealth when needed. There are places of meditation to contemplate and gain a headband with words of meaning. Villagers are so desperate and hopeless. Jin always gives them hope when they see him. Rebels unite. Farmers fight. You see endless ships on every part of the coast. Smoke from burned villages show on the horizon. It's a story for the people and for humanity. The island's fate seems to rest on a samurai. The protagonist is very very humbled and even plays the flute. Definitely a game to look up to when feeling you are against all odds.

For me it's Solid Snake - he represented what it really means to be human. To accept your flaws but don't allow them to hind you in accomplishing your objectives. I also loved how he wasn't afraid of jumping into danger if it was for a good cause.
