Motherhood in Gaming

Remembering all the important mother (and grandmother) figures in gaming. They don’t have to actually be biologically related, they just have to fit the spirit of motherhood. Suggestions welcome and requested.

Genius idea man and terrific list based on the games I have played....except Life is Strange. What mother was in that game lol?

@RedBackLoggd Thank you brother, I figured it was a topical list for Mother’s Day and all lol.

That one is owed to Joyce Price, Chloe’s mother. Who has…. an imperfect relationship to say the least, but I think fits the niche of conflicted, imperfect mothers thrust in unfortunate circumstances who try the best they can.

Ah right, I forgot about Chloe's mom given the game's focus on her Dad.

@RedBackLoggd And you can bet your butt I’ve got my finger on the trigger for a Fatherhood list once Father’s Day comes around lol.
