Guess the Game by the Protagonist: 15 Rounds

Three game heroes seen from behind or in shadow, side by side

You know the face, but do you know the exact game? Each of these 15 rounds shows one hero in an official in-game shot, and you need to name the game they come from. You get three guesses, a new hint after each miss, and 3 points for getting it with no hints, down to 1 with both. Small spelling slips still count, and all 15 answers are listed under the game if you get stuck.
