00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we aren t looking at solo characters or dynamic duos,
00:15we re looking at the 10 best video game trios. Some say 3 is a crowd, while we say 3 is a
00:21well-oiled machine. Sometimes, sometimes they re just entertaining. Either way, let s do
00:25it.

00:34Nate, Elena and Sully. The 3 main characters of the Uncharted series come in the form of
00:48a wisecracking younger hothead, an old wise mentor and a smart-as-a-whip partner. The
00:53bond among the three of them started in the original game and set the tone for the rest
00:57of the series. Initially, their relationship wasn t smooth as Elena, a reporter, worked
01:03with the two treasure hunters and was promptly excommunicated from their little church of
01:07booty and looty. However, after being reunited, they developed a strong rapport and have remained
01:12close ever since. Nate and Elena even got married and somehow Sully never seems like
01:16a third wheel when the crew is together.
01:34Mega Man Rush and Roll
01:41Mega Man, Rush and Roll form a beloved trio in gaming due to their complementary roles
01:45and enduring camaraderie. In other words, they tight like a little family. Mega Man
01:50as the heroic protagonist embodies determination and courage facing formidable foes to save
01:55the world. His trusty robotic dog companion Rush provides invaluable support with various
02:00transformations that aid in traversal and combat, enhancing gameplay dynamics. Roll,
02:06Mega Man s sister and skilled mechanic, contributes to the team with her technical expertise and
02:10caring nature, often providing crucial upgrades and support from behind the scenes. And with
02:15these powers combined, they are Captain Pl- Mega Man series.
02:25Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri
02:29An argument could be made for Geralt, Yennefer and Triss and has been many times, but we
02:33feel like they re less of a cohesive and tight team and more of a love triangle. Their relationship
02:38as a trio has nothing on the little family that is Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri. Acting
02:44as essentially de facto parents to Ciri, Geralt and Yennefer guide her through her
02:48early years with a pure balance of training and love that leads them to spending the majority
02:53of the game trying to find and save her, as their love for her transcends any issues they
02:57share. It s a beautiful trio with a beautiful story and we love to see it.
03:07Sly, Bentley and Murray
03:22Here s a trio we haven t thought about for more than 10 years and with their unique skills
03:26suited to different roles, they form one of the most exceptional team of thieves we ve
03:30ever seen in gaming, despite the fact that one of them looks like this. Bentley, nicknamed
03:35the turtle, acts as the mastermind behind their operations, devising intricate plans.
03:40Think Lester Crest, but a little less turtley. Murray provides the team s muscle with his
03:44considerable size and strength, often doubling as the getaway driver. And Sly, renowned for
03:50his unparalleled agility, balance and stealth, is among the most adept thieves in gaming.
03:55He needs his own Assassin s Creed spinoff. Sly Assassin s Creed, shut up.
04:00Sora, Donald and Goofy
04:09When most people think of a video game trio, they will instantly say Sora, Donald and Goofy.
04:14They re easily the most prominently featured trio across generations of gaming and stand
04:19out for reasons well beyond just the gameplay. While Sora has other allies coming in and
04:24out of the party at various points in the game, these two iconic Disney characters are
04:28consistently by his side. Though Sora and Donald have had their disagreements, their
04:33legendary adventures have forged a strong bond and enduring friendship among them. Goofy
04:38is just Goofy, and God bless that big dog thing.
05:07Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle
05:09This trio is not always the first to come to mind for players, as they rarely appear
05:13together in the games, and lack any real connection. However, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle
05:18are inseparable in fans minds due to their status as starter Pokemon options in the first
05:23generation games. Players must choose between them early in these titles, sparking ongoing
05:28debates about which is the superior choice. Yet, regardless of personal preference, each
05:33Pokemon holds its own appeal and remains among the most iconic starter options in Pokemon
05:38history. I for one always pick Charmander. Unless I pick Squirtle. Or Bulbasaur.
05:43Sonic, Tails and Knuckles
05:46One of the most renowned trios in gaming hails from the Sonic series. Sonic himself is the
05:58well-known protagonist and central figure of the crew, rivaling Mario and his stupid mates,
06:03Luigi? Who the hell is even that? Tails and Knuckles typically serve as crucial secondary
06:08characters, assisting Sonic in his missions. Despite their similarities and also their
06:13differences, all three characters deeply care for and respect one another, forming a cohesive
06:17team in their adventures. Dante, Vergil and Nero
06:27Dante, Vergil and Nero form a compelling trio in the Devil May Cry series due to their distinct
06:49personalities and roles, which complement each other seamlessly, much like Sly, Bentley and
06:54Murray. Equally cool and equally cool. Together, they create a trio that balances Dante's experience,
07:01Vergil's seriousness and Annoying Nero's annoying youthful annoying vigor, enhancing the narrative
07:06depth and gameplay variety of the series, even with Annoying Nero being annoying. Their intertwining
07:11relationships and shared struggles against formidable foes enrich the Devil May Cry
07:15universe, making them a memorable and effective team not only in this game, but in gaming history.
07:20Mimir, Atreus and Kratos
07:50When the game begins, we spend a good couple of hours following Atreus and Kratos as they
08:02battle with their inability to relate to one another, without the glue that was Kratos' wife
08:06and Atreus' mother. Once they meet Mimir, we officially begin the banter and the game takes
08:12off. Mimir offers a word to the wise in almost all instances and gives Atreus someone else to
08:17talk with and learn from apart from his stoic and quiet father. The three have a dynamic that
08:23is compelling to watch and give us the best trio we've seen in the last 10 years. Unfortunately,
08:2811 years ago, we got our best trio of all time. Franklin, Michael and Trevor
08:47In GTA V, Rockstar innovated by featuring three protagonists instead of the usual one,
09:10creating one of the most compelling multi-protagonist titles to date,
09:13and showing developers a new way to approach party-driven games. A significant part of its
09:18success stems from the dynamic relationships and interactions among the main characters.
09:22Each protagonist possesses a distinct personality. Franklin, a young car thief with ambition beyond
09:28his current life, Michael, a retired criminal navigating suburban family life amidst chaos,
09:32and Trevor, an unpredictable figure aiming to establish a criminal empire. Dysfunctional and
09:38complex, the relationship between these three is one of the most compelling to watch in all of
09:43gaming. Did you enjoy this video? Check out these other clips from Mojo Plays and be sure
