Bayonetta? 2B? Widowmaker or Tracer from overwatch? Lady D? Any anime girl from any recent, popular show?

Most iconic female character in video games...
Hmm... It's actually a tricky question. I'll probably say "Princess Peach". Pokemon's various PokeGirls would also be a good selection.
But that might not be fair, since while they have had games in the last decade, not many originate in the last decade.
I should've picked Mercy. ♫ I should've picked any kind of support. ♪ Seriously, there's ballads about Mercy. If you go up to a random gaming convention, any place where people care about games, even an anime convention which would have an Eastern bias, and say "name the most famous female character in video games in the last 10 years", you're probably going to get Mercy or Tracer, both due to the same song/meme.
Though now that I think about it, you might also get Jinx, since that well-received anime came out recently...
Well that's because Mercy is the centerpiece of the "healslut" movement. Which coincided perfectly with both a massive increase in female gamers (because it was popular and they could get attention through titty streams and latching onto guy streamers) and trannies. Both of whom love to play healers, especially one who the game sucks off that hard as needing to be thanked for existing.
Overwatch never should have had a support class. Playing a healer in an FPS is dumb as shit unless it's the Assault class from the battlefield franchise where you just got to play the game too.
Still more iconic than Alice from The Last Of Us, even if the reason is... a bit depraved.
