Hey y'all! So my name is Amatullah, and I'm an avid gamer. I've seen many (and I mean many) Black characters who, for lack of a better term, looked busted. Awful. Thrown together. And frankly, I'm tired.
So here are 12 that I personally think look amazing and represent what Black hair should look like (plus five that are, frankly, terrible).
1.Miles Morales in Marvel'sSpider-Man: Miles Morales
2.Bangalore in Apex Legends
3.Amanda in Detroit: Become Human
4.Luther in Detroit: Become Human
5.Nadine Ross in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
6.Sazh Katzroy in Final Fantasy XIII
7.Lola in Afterparty
8.Grace Walker in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
9.Jules and Colt in Deathloop
10.Mickey and Lou in Far Cry New Dawn
11.Literally everyone in Horizon Forbidden West
12.Honorable mentions: Lee, Clementine, and Alvin Jr. in Telltale's The Walking Dead
And here are the few that just did not deliver...at all:
13.Sims 3
14.Far Cry 5 (and, by default, Far Cry New Dawn because they have the same exact hairstyles)
15.Dragon Age: Origins
16.Lúcio in Overwatch
17.And finally, Lenny Summers in Red Dead Redemption 2
Did I miss anything? Let me know in the comments below what other characters you think had some amazing hair and others that didn't hit the mark.
