Similar games to these

[Etxxu]

Hi!

I know there is a topic like this one, but I would like to explain my interests because of I don't like Metro series, Resident Evil series, etcétera recommended games.

I didn't like previous God of War and I started this God of War (2018) just because I was bored and It was on sale... Now it's one of my favorite games... I really enjoyed for the mithology, the story and how It is tell to you... The combat was great and satisfacty and the landscape beutiful.

It's been several months after I finished It and I haven't found any other game that fills me more than 25h (really, I drop every game after that time haha)...

From there I bought Senua's Sacrifice and it's retry good.

So I would like to ask you if you know any other games likes God Of War (2018), Hellsblade Senua's Sacrifice, The Last of us or A plague tale.

Thank you so much!

Sorry, what exactly are you looking for? I don't see that any of these games are similar to each other. Heck, Innocence doesn't even have much in the way of real combat. It's mostly a puzzle/stealth game.

Games very story-focused with a "cinematographic" style and some kind of folklore or mithology theme. I still remember the first vid of God of War (2018) cutring down the trees... Woooow

So... You like games where the story unfolds before you without so much decision making (So goodbye The Witcher Saga), with maps that look good, with the objective clearly marked so that you never get lost (So, goodbye TES and Fallout Saga)... And Hack&Slash, with an upgrade equipment system and that the story always move forward... Well, If you filter by "Adventure" + "Metroidvania", you will find similar games (personaly, i hate the tag "Metroidvania", but it is so widely used that people immediately understand what it is about).

I can think of the following games that you might find interesting:

-"Darksiders" saga: A Hack & Slash wich is about the Four Horsemen tale. The name of each horsemen are: War, Death, Fury (the only female) and Strife. DS1 is the story of War, DS2 you play as Death, in DS3 as Fury and DS4 ("Genesis" i believe they called it) It is said that you can play with War And Strife (never played myself).

- "Legacy of Kain" saga. If you don't mind playing older games, this might be of interest to you. They are two stories and two characters that are linked to each other. I thought there were 5 games in total: Blood Omen (Kain's perspective) 1 & 2 and Soul Reaver ("Raziel's perspective")1,2 & 3. In the last one, Soul Reaver 3, you can play with both characters as part of a paradox, the story of this saga is incredible, but it has aged very poorly in its graphics.

I hope this helps, regards!

I already played Witcher (the three of them), TES III, IV and V, Fallout 4, New Vegas and 3, the three Dragón Age, etcétera ... but I am bored already of eternal maps with just too much content of medium to bad quality. Now I prefer quality over quantity, and open-world games usually are quantity over quality.

And no, I am not looking games as you are describing, If you think the games I told are of that kind.

Legacy I have it on my Anbernic, thank you!

That's why I told you to forget about The Witcher, Fallout, TES, etc... Because they are games with huge maps, and they can be tedious to explore (Although I defend The Witcher, because its story is very well written and acted and personally I find it one of the best within its category). Currently, what you mention is happening, games with a lot of island-type content, that doesn't have much to do with each other and breaks the story, and being everyone's errand boy is boring.

That's why I recommended those old sagas, The Legacy of Kain and Darksiders, because their gameplay is well tied to the story, in fact for me they are novels made into video games. Ah! And last but not least... I forgot to suggest you "Alan Wake", I think it has a similarity to Hellblade in terms of the development of the story and a very appropriate soundtrack. Good luck and I hope you find other gems that make you vibrate. Regards!

Bramble: The Mountain King

And these aren't folklore/mytholgy but I would also recommend looking up Quantic Dreams and Telltale games as they are linear and story focused.

With straightforward games, movie-like. Recently there is Guardians Of The Galaxy game. Then previous are Bioshock Infinite and The Darkness 2.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger is very linear, very good narrated and paced story, wild west historical figures and environment.

I'm throwing guesses around, maybe you like them. Not exactly like Senua and God of War.

If you can bear adventure platformers, definitely play these movies: Kena: The Bridge of Spirits, and Ninja Theory's DmC Devil May Cry. Both very cinematic, environments, colors. Kena's got the middle ages' environment and the soundtrack is phenomenal with woodwind and percussion watery-like instrumentation.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider has Inca environments, awesome cinematic, but bear-with the gameplay a bit.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 has got some beautiful castle stuff going on, linear story too; but is arcade-y, and has a horrible stealth section like Senua :P

Ashen is souls-y and another with norse mythology going on but it's not cinematic at all and I don't recommend it much but it was ok. Nah, you might as well play Sekiro or Elden Ring instead of this to avoid the jank, and have epic fights. I've never played AC Valhalla. I totally recommend Dark Souls 3 though, it fits nicely with Senua and epic bossfights+soundtrack, but not cinematic. Vermintide 2 also is close in blood corpses and looks.

AH, there is one that is very much like Senua, but gameplay can get tiresome. -

Control. the one by Remedy entertainment

I am open to all kind of topics on games haha I played God of War with wanting (It was a gift) and Oh My... So now I play every game similar, so your recommendations are very appreciate!

Thank you!
