A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.

spoilerI 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
