We all love experimenting with character creation to make unique protagonists – sometimes, because they wear helmets or because the game is first-person. But creating the perfect character is part of the fun in games. These are the games with the best character creation systems, along with a few honorable mentions.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077‘s character creation system is extremely detailed and extensive. Other than the ability to edit almost every single feature of your character’s face, customize the hair and facial hair and the length of them, and change the color of many parts of your face, you can even customize the character’s body to a great degree. CD PROJEKT RED even went as far as to allow us to customize the character’s private parts. You will spend hours with the character creator alone.

Elden Ring

Elden Ring’s character creator is the best in the history of FromSoftware games to date. Like any other good character creation system, it allows you to customize the hair, facial hair, eyes, and bone structure of the character’s face to a great degree. It’s so intricate and detailed, it’s possible for you to create many famous people in the creator. If you truly get the hang of it, you might be able even to create yourself in the game. We’ve seen a lot of beautiful characters made with this system, and we encourage you to share yours with us in the forums.
