A Redditor posted in the r/gaming community a photo of Han Bao's "The Train" that gained massive attention and interactions from co-Redditors identifying each character from famous single-player games on consoles and computers. Some names are easily recognizable, and some are not. Can you identify them all?

Single-player character or story game modes are in a league of their own, being famous for its own reasons, primarily because of a good plot. However, other elements come to play, such as complexity, game design, character progression or development.

According to Redditors, games that are popularized by being single-player modes are superior and top-tier as there are no other interactions apart from the title and the player. Unlike the popular massively multiplayer online, single-player or story modes dives into fixed stories and plots, which give players a bang for their buck.
