Trope or not, gods just end up being a common target for games about heroes escalating in power while fighting increasingly world-destroying consequences.

So, for each post, name a game and describe it, with the assumption being that every description automatically ends with the phrase:

“…and then it ends with you fighting a god.”

    I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a great game…

      I do agree on it being a great game, and she fights gods on her way to her final goal but

      she doesn’t really fight any gods though - it is all in her head

        I found when they used that same device to explain the ending of Hellblade 2 really unsatisfying.which is a shame because I’d really enjoyed the journey.

          That is a shame, I would have thought that she would have some measure of control after the events of the first game

          Especially, since the burden she was carrying was lifted.

          I guess she has a severe case of the “blessing” that she disassociates with reality regularly and is unable to discern what is real and what is not as she lives a life of what she thinks is real as truth.

          I guess I can see that happening without any form of medication or therapy and only having her own thoughts to live with after the traumatic events of her past
