May 10 is the day to celebrate moms. In the video gameusually this role never has a great weight, like in Pokémon, but in other adventures, like in God of War of 2018, this is an extremely important factor. In this way, today we bring you a thematic list, which is made up of the best mothers in this medium. We are talking about those who will do everything possible to protect their children, who are in charge of educating them and guiding them on the right path, and being the best teacher in the world. All this regardless of whether they are related by blood or not.
5-. Clementine (The Walking Dead)
Originally, Clementine is presented to us as a little girl, who has to be saved. However, after a highly emotional journey and the loss of her figure, this protagonist finds herself in the need to protect and educate a newborn child. In this way, AJ becomes Clementine’s adopted son. Although our protagonist is still a girl when AJ is born, the difficult situation in which they find themselves forces her to mature much faster, and assume this role.
4-. Toriel (Undertale)
During Undertale, the tragic story about Toriel and her son makes it clear that the game world is one of tragedy. However, this does not stop the good will of this mother. When we are introduced to this world, it is Toriel who protects us. She is kind to us, and she will do her best so that history does not repeat itself with another poor child. This culminates in a fantastic showdown where none of those involved want to fight. Fortunately, the real solution lies in these positive feelings that the player has for this mom.
3. The Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3)
In a traditional sense, The Boss was likely not Revolver Ocelot’s best mother. However, this character is very important in the world of Metal Gear. As a mother figure to Snake, she was tasked with teaching the third game’s protagonist the meaning of being a patriot and dying for your nation, something that eventually corrupted Naked Snake’s ideology. Along with this, her various sacrifices, including the possibility of having children, is a very strong theme that is taken with enough delicacy to turn this character into a tragic villain.
two-. Yennefer (The Witcher)
Yennefer is a powerful sorceress who wants nothing more than to become a mother, but she suffers from infertility. She tries to catch a Djinn in hopes of wishing for fertility, but she is unsuccessful and unable to have children. This never stops her though, after being bonded with Geralt, she eventually becomes a mother figure to Ciri. Adoptive mothers are just as important as birth mothers and Yennefer proves it by trying to protect and rescue Ciri at all times, and that’s what puts her on this list.
one-. Samus (Metroid)
The Metroid series is one that constantly plays with the idea that Samus is a mother. So much Super Metroid as well as Other: M, especially this title, have been in charge of exploring the personality of this bounty hunter after meeting and losing the Metroid baby, a traumatic moment that leaves a mark for life. Alongside this, this series has a strong emphasis on motherhood. In Metroid II we face the queen of these aliens, and Mother Brain plays a similar role with the Space Pirates.
