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.”

    “Doom” is a pretty good one.

    “Advent Rising” you find out you are a god.

    “Dread Delusion” prisoner to decider of gods fate.

    A lot of Kirby games.

      Even with the weird Mormon allusions, I really wish we could’ve gotten an Advent Rising sequel.

        I had no idea it had some basis in mormanism, but I also really wanted a sequel to it. It ended on such an interesting cliff hangar and with Orson Scott Card it seemed like the plot would actually go somewhere.
