15 Video Game Bosses That Were Ahead of Their Time

Pyramid Head – Silent Hill 2

Unlike Mr. X or the Nemesis, Pyramid Head doesn’t exist as a “pursuer” but that fact isn’t revealed to the player at first. For all intents and purposes, it’s a macabre butcher, wandering the hellscape committing atrocities and dragging a giant blade. Pyramid Head’s one true “mission” is to torture James and that means killing Maria whenever possible until he truly accepts his guilt.
