by Imran Khan on Jun 17, 2018 at 06:11 PM

It's Father's Day, which means fathers around the world are getting phone calls and cards and ties that someone at JCPenny assured you that your dad would want.

Gaming has a long history of fathers and relationships between a father and a child, whether it be the journey of Kratos and Atreus, Lara Croft exploring the mysteries of her father's legacy, or last-second reveals and discoveries of hidden parentage. 

What makes a good dad in video games? Is it a powerful father? Is it someone without a biological link to their child but takes on the mantle all the same? Is it a fierce protection of their child against danger?

Who would you say is gaming's best father and why? Let us know below in the comments.
