Whether or not you've played 1 video game or 10,000 video games, I guarantee each of you have experienced the Hero's Journey, also known as the Monomyth. The Hero's Journey is represented by the hero with 1000 faces, an everyman character that can fulfill any role in any story, by following a multi-tiered journey archetype. The first step in the journey is the Call to Adventure. Today, we take a look at 6 video games that represent different ways that their protagonist was called to their quest.
