Game sidekicks all live on a spectrum, from a well-realized three-dimensional character, to a cardboard cutout. Sidekicks can be designed in games to fill all kinds of functions, mechanical and narrative, but they all need to be designed carefully to stay out of the contempt zone. More Midna, less Kersti. Let's talk about what you can do with a sidekick!
