...But are not sports games, crime sims, or a vehicle for a celebrity.

Deathloop
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Forspoken

Are there any more besides these? I think there may be some indie games as well...

Prototype 2, but he was a shoddy replacement for the main character of the first game and wasn't very well liked.

For a real challenge, add a no character creator rule and isn't military/ex-military (like the dude from prototype 2).

I really do wish we had more black peeps MCs for sword and board fantasy stuff.

Well this is forspoken.....yay, lol.

Yeah quite a few video game protagonists are mass murderers.

To answer the topic title I think Dandara counts for this?

Or they are stealing stuff or a fugitive (most of the time they arent at fault but still technically committing crime).

Apex and Overwatch have quite a few but they are multiplayer focused.

Seems most games dont want to have a black main protagonist but they are fine with have token side characters being black.

also, Season: A Letter to the Future.

it's apparently about a young woman documenting a town before the end of the world (according to wiki).

I had my eye on it, but was waiting for a sale.

I don't think Ryley is black.

You can only see him by using the scanner room's camera module and looking through a window.

From the Subnautica wiki:

I don't know how canon any of it is, but Google image shows a bunch of images of that exact character.
