Who Are The Best Robots In Video Games?

Robots have been a familiar sight in video games for quite some time. Robots come in all shapes and sizes, from memorable appearances in classic titles such as Half-Life to cannon fodder in titles like Binary Domain. While many prefer being at the e⛎nd of the player's gun, some have stood by players' sides through thick and thin.

Whether it's mysterious robots with the personality of a cowboy or nefarious villains out to ruin your day, there hav🅘e been some genuinely excellent robots in video games. Regardless of your fondness for the metal kind, it is hard to dispute the legacy some of these seminal robotic characters have left behind.

Updated November 10th, 2022, by Chris Sanfilippo: We looked at several notable series, like Danganronpa and Tekken, for our latest update. We also dipped into classic arcade history and added the legendary Mega Man. Finally, we recognized one of gaming's most beloved robots, Clank, whose series, Ratchet And Clank, celebrates its twentieth anniversary this month!

22 S🐬iren: The Best Robot Defender ๊

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Siren is a giant robot, called an Artifice, that presides over 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xenoblade Chronicle 2's world, Alrest. It is one of Alrest's many defenders and is linked directly to Mythra. While there were initially many other Artifices, Siren remains one of the few left to protect the World Tree a🎃nd the Trinity Processor. The Siren appears multiple times throughout the story - usually during an intense crisis because it's a JRPG, and there's nothing better than a giant mech saving the day - a✅nd it can do massive damage.

You can use the Siren in combat, alt꧑hough it takes a little effor🌳t to do so. After starting a New Game Plus and putting Pneuma in your time, you can strike your enemies with a giant beam of light during a Level IV Blade Special. It's a pretty amazing spectacle to behold and worth the energy it takes to use.

21 Thundeဣrjaw: The Most Threatening Robot

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West

Thunderjaws are formidable robotic enemies in the Horizon series, appearing as fear-inducing threats in both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon Zero Dawn and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Forbidden West. Akin to the relentless Mr. X from Resident Evil 2, the Thunderjaw will instantly kill you if you aඣttack it unprepared.

Laying down traps, readying your special ammo, and patiently tracking its movements are the best ways of taking down this behemoth of a robot. However,♍ their terrifying presence within the apocalyptic landscape is undoubtedly enough to scare any hunter away. Let's hope there are no quests dedicated to taking down these things. That would be ridiculous. Oh, wait.

20 Gu♔ardians: The Most Mysterious Robots

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Guardians are incredible in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Breath of the Wild. Their rusted remains scatter battlefields strewn across the war-torn Hyrule while the remaining Guardians aimlessly wander in search of purpose. That purpose, unfortunately, tends to be to blow you up. While not particularly fun, these spider-like robots with spindly legs are a sight to behold. Wa💎tching them scuttle across a ♓verdant valley, searching for a new target, is mesmerizing and makes exploration all the more intense.

Perhaps what makes the Guardians in Breath of the Wild so interesting is the sheer amount of lore surrounding them. From tales told to you by the many remaining inhabitants of Hyrule to the visual indicators of a b⛎ygone era, the hꦐistory of these fascinating robots is all around you. Uncovering it and learning about these terrifying machines is one of the greatest pleasures in Breath of the Wild.

19 🔯𓄧 Mack: The Best Robot Dog

ReCore

Mack is the exceptionally 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:adorable and loveable dog-like robot that accompanies you — and the assortment of other robot assistants — in the third-person action-puzzler, ReCore. You have access to him and h♏is sniffing ▨ability from the outset, making him as loyal a companion as Pikachu is to Ash.

What makes Mack so memorable, outside of his cute and customizable design, are the touching moments between him and the game's protagonist, Joule Adams. They also perfectly fit in the post-apocalyptic♊ world, feeling simultaneously scrappy and sturdy. So while ReCore may no👍t be the most remembered video game, Mack is undoubtedly a memorable and charming component.

18 🌞 Inquisitor: The Most Disturbing-Looking Robot

Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy is an entertaining and frantic video game about its protagonist, Peter Quill, and his ragtag crew traveling across colorful planets to save the universe. However, as is typical of the Guardians across their various incarnations, saving the universe doesn't come easy. The Inquisitor robots often get in their way.

The first time you see these hulking masses of flexible steel, they appear less intimidating. They don large, elegant, religious-like robes that give them an almost dignified look. However, in a later section, when they reveal their alien-like bodies, these robots become the stuff of nightmares. They're a great addition to an already incredible gaꦆme and are easily one of the most impressive enemies in video games.

17 ༒ Switch: The Phatest Robot In Gaming ℱ

Lethal League: Blaze

Switch is one of the many playable characters in the frantically paced fighting game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lethal League: Blaze. Unlike most robots in video games, however, Switch is frankly dope. Or, at least, dope for the 90s.

He has a snapback cap on, whacks things with skateboards, and even wears relaxed baggy trousers that have one pocket too many. His sweet look and witty dialogue fit him snugly into Lethal League's irreverent world and make him a stand-out choice in a roster full of eccentric anꦕd well-designed characte🦩rs.

16 🅘 Nick Valentine: The Best Robot Detective

Fallout 4

Nick Valentine is one of the many recruitable companions in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4 and is well-known for being the finest private detective in all of Diamond City. He's an essential part of the game's overall narrative, having ties to the Institute and a more significant role in the game's DLC: Far Habour.

Nick is perhaps most memorable for his engaging subplot and overall demeanor. He embodies the existential nature of Fallout 4's world and solidifies its sci-fi roots. In addition, his quippy lines and memorable quotes make him a 𒅌fun character to be around and an exceptionally audacious robot.

15 Aigis: The Best Robotꦫ Character Arch

Persona 3

Aigis is one of the many characters in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 and subsequently made numerous appearances in other Persona-related video games and media. Suffice it to say she's an incredibly famous character in the world of Persona. One of the things fans will likely remember her for is her devotion to the game's protagonist and her slightly worrying lack of social skills.

However, her character depth and development across the game make her a memorable and incredible robot. Her existential crises and envious behavior toward her friends ma🌳ke her 🐭an endearing and, at times, relatable character. The smaller, more intimate moments with her as she discovers her humanity are genuinely moving. There is no doubt that Aigis is by far one of the best robots in gaming.

14 K1-B0: 🐻The Best Robot Student

Danganronpa V3

The Danganronpa series featured several odd and intriguing students in the past. For instance, there was the romance novelist/serial killer Toko Fukawa (aka Genocide Jack), the demonic animal whisperer Gundham Tanaka, and, of course, the dastardly Junko Enoshima. Still, K1-B0, nicknamed Kee-Bo, was the series' first robotic student!

Danganronpa V3 introduced K1-B0 as a kind-natured, relatable, and sometimes comedic personality from the Ultimate Academy Of Gifted Juveniles, aptly given the superlative "Ultimate Robot." Unfortunately, K1-B0 was underestimated early in the game, often serving as the target of Kokichi's "robophobic" remarks. However, he defied expectations and sacrificed himself tꦫo save his fellow students in the game's ending, making him an ext🐎raordinary classmate and friend.

13 😼 BD-1: The Best Support Robot

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

BD-1 is the loveable and affectionate robot from the critically acclaimed adventure game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Its sole purpose in life seems to be throwing the game's protagonist Cal Kestis a healing stim whenever he requires one. BD-1 is one of the game's comic re🐭lief characteꦯrs and its most adorable mascot.

BD-1 is memorable thanks to it🥂s many feats of heroism and playful nature. Cal Kestis makes it out alive and in one piece, thanks to the emotional and physical assistance that BD-1 offers. It is there for him during difficult moments and even tries to electrocute Darth Vader to help its friend.
