20 Christ Metaphors In Video Games

Video games have a reputation for violence and novelty, but they can actually be quite Christ-focused. Just consider these top 20 Christ metaphors in video games:

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic can run so fast it's like he's walking on water: Not unlike Jesus.
You must answer the call of duty in Call of Duty: Just as we must answer the call to worship Christ.
Hollow Knight: Silksong teaches us that in order to defeat sister splinter you have to master the diagonal pogo and equip silk spear, avoid the minions and one shot them with spear or let sister splinter take them out herself with her ground pound, heal at strategic moments, and keep the stage clear of her vines: We're pretty sure this is some kind of metaphor.
Kirby sucks you up and then spits you out and absorbs your powers: Which is kind of like being born again?
Assassin's Creed is set in the Holy Land: Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad visits Jerusalem. So did Jesus. Coincidence? No.
Liu Kang becomes a god: In the Mortal Kombat series, Liu Kang starts as a human and becomes divine. (Mormon Jesus only)
Mario dresses in a tanooki suit to fly, reminding us that Christ will clothe us with his righteousness: So beautiful.
Mario Tennis: Christ taught Christians to love their enemies, which is exactly why Mario and Bowser can play tennis together.
In Half-Life 2, Gordon Freeman is silent before the Combine: This points us to how Christ was silent before his accusers.
Link finds wisdom in caves: In the original Legend of Zelda the hero visits sages in caves to receive helpful game hints. This is a metaphor for how Jesus would retreat to the wilderness on his own to pray.
Metroid is an outer space adventure: Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and neither is the planet Zebes.
Cool Spot: This is a metaphor for Christ's temptation in the desert.
Q*bert substitutes symbols for all the bad words he says: Much like how Christ substitutes his righteousness for our sin.
Battletoads is really, really hard: We are reminded that, no matter how hard we try, we cannot ever succeed on our own strength.
Solid Snake sneaks up on bad guys in a box: Exactly how Jesus sneaks into our hearts.
In Roller Coaster Tycoon, you can use a giant claw hand to grab people and move them wherever you wish: Christ can also do that if He wants.
Electronic Arts releases a new Madden NFL every year: Like every edition of this game, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Forever.
Pokémon Red/Blue: Baptism is the ongoing battle between water-type and rock-type Pokémon of the heart.
The four Left 4 Dead survivors represent the Trinity: Of which Jesus is a part.
Gabe Newell promised to give us Half-Life 3 one day: Just like how we wait expectantly for the second coming.
