Games like God of War

4.0average player rating•5 games

God of War lands because the fighting has weight and the story has stakes — an axe that thuds, and a father who can barely talk to his son. These pair spectacle with something worth saying.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Devil May Cry 5
Action
Trades the fatherhood for pure showmanship — the combat ceiling here is the highest in the genre.
4.3/5Player ratingMC88View game
2
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
ActionAdventureIndie
Norse myth from the inside out. Shorter and stranger, but no game does grief-as-a-journey more directly.
4.2/5Player ratingMC83View game
3
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
ActionAdventure
The same over-the-shoulder camera and deliberate, parry-led combat, threaded through worlds you climb back into as you unlock more.
4.1/5Player ratingMC80View game
4
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
ActionRPG
For when you wanted more Greece: a huge mythic playground with an RPG's worth of gear and choices.

Darksiders III
ActionAdventureRPG
Apocalyptic myth, a big weapon, and combat that punishes greed. The nearest thing to old-school Kratos.
