“Who will not like a good mythological history? Who will not like? " Perhaps the phrase that the nice lady of Granada said was not quite like that, but that does not mean that it is true. The stories of gods, with their betrayals, their spells, their heavenly wars and their countless strange beings are one of the best things that ancient civilizations have left us. And now that it has come out God of War: Ragnarok (We will not do spoilers but it is undoubtedly a Must-have) We have wanted to continue exploring those video games that borrow the mythological stories (Greek, Roman, Nordic etc) to create stories or game experiences. That is why you are passionate about these millenary stories or if you have now entered you Picorsito After seeing Kratos in Action, we bring you a list of games that make you feel powerful which Titan.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Senua's trip is ... complex. It is not a beautiful and cheerful story about gods fighting, or a kind adventure to save the world. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is dark, cruel and quite upset. Poor Senua is dragged into the difficult company to rescue the soul of her beloved from the goddess's very hands Helea, Nordic goddess of death and queen of the world of Helheim. So far it may seem that it is a more or less normal story. What makes it especially bleak is, on the one hand the setting, and especially how the Mental imbalance of the protagonist. Senua suffers psychosis, that constantly plays bad passes and makes you doubt what is real and what does not. However, this game is an experience totally opposite to other mythological games, but it is certainly worth playing if you do not suffer much playing games of this style. And it also has a confirmed sequel that looks incredible ...
Assassin’s Creed Origins
I am not going to deny you to talk about Assassin 's believe is to do a little cheat. But whoever likes mythology cannot miss the last trilogy of this saga. The one who receives the best criticisms of the three is this AC: Origins, who chases Bayak on his path of revenge for everything Egypt In the last stage of this great empire. If you like mythological adaptations is accuracy, it may not be your game. But walk through Egypt, see the mythical places and enter sanctuaries to Osiris, Ra and Horus It is something worth seeing. And if you have ever considered what it would be like to fight for beasts and gods of this era, it is something you can do. All this with an unbridled rhythm and at all as gloomy as in Hellblade. Of course, to complete it you need enough free time.
Nioh
Despite being used to seeing games set in Japan, there are not many who dare to treat their legends and myths in a "realistic" way (which is not precise). However, and in the absence of seeing the promising Black Myth: Wukong, we can say that Nioh is one of the games that best raise the Japanese culture. All without forgetting the incredible festival of swords and mamporros. We can be witnesses (and many times to have the need to defeat them) of a multitude of Spirits, also known as Yokais, Dragons and kamis (gods). We will not reveal much of history, but it may have to do indirectly with Spain. No, it's not a joke. How does an Irish mercenary end up becoming Samurai in Japan because of Spain? We can't tell that anymore. But it is worth the epicity of the game, its story and its characters. And give a few swords to sacred spirits.
Hades
Hades is a game that has nothing to do with the previous ones mentioned. The dark stories over entities are over above the mortal common ones. Although yes, the challenge proposed by this game is equal to or greater than that of the rest. And we play Zagreus, son of Hades, in this Rogu-Like Pasillero in which we will try to escape from Hades. It is not a linear game, since each game starts from zero with different rooms, objects and enemies. That makes it unpredictable and different every time you put yourself at the controls.
As for mythology, you can imagine the amount of references. Gods, beasts, legends and stories known to all appear constantly during the protagonist's stay in hell. It is a long, difficult and very addictive game. You are notified.
Dante’s Inferno
Yes ok The divine comedy From Renaissance Dante Alighieri is more a macabre interpretation of good and evil, it is worth remembering that Christian mythology exists. God, the angels, Jesus Christ, the 10 commandments, Lucifer... everything that happened in the Bible It is nothing other than mythology (under the prism of someone unbeliever). In this game, which playably resembles the old God of War, we will see enough of these characters and events. The story takes a multitude of licenses, but it is an adaptation of the poem mentioned at the beginning. Dante faces the 9 circles (metaphor for the 9 capital sins), to later redeem their sins and reach paradise. In this game, which raised the possibility of a subsequently canceled sequel, we only see the history of the circles, in which Dante faces his past and the rescue of his beloved Beatriz. All with a lot of violence and magic.
It is an ancient game, which has not maintained the type graphically speaking, but that is artistically spectacular, in terms of characters, scenarios and mechanics. If you like Christian mysticism or you are looking for an experience similar to that of Kratos on its way through Olympus, it is strongly recommended.
These are the games that we recommend if you want to get fully into the different mythologies that exist. There are many more, of all existing genres, but these are our personal selection. Those who will assure you leisure afternoons.
