Best Greek Myth Games to Play After Christopher Nolan’s L’Odyssée

Christopher Nolan’s latest big-screen outing, L’Odyssée, has pulled the spotlight back onto ancient Greece—Ulysses, myth, and all. The film’s release has sparked fresh interest not just from moviegoers, but from players who want more Greek-myth adventures beyond the theater. If you’re looking to carry that momentum into gaming, here are several notable titles that lean into the same mythology (with very different gameplay styles).

Release and platform snapshot

Five games to play if you liked Nolan’s L’Odyssée

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (Ubisoft Québec) — Greek mythology, open-world action-RPG

If you want the most straightforward continuation of the Greek-myth vibe, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the obvious pick. Released in 2018 by Ubisoft Québec, it builds on the action-RPG direction introduced by Origins, but this time it leans hard into Greek mythology—with plenty of creative freedom. It’s presented as a big, content-rich experience designed to keep you busy for hours.

The Forgotten City (Modern Storyteller) — a mystery with a fatal Greek-Roman twist

The Forgotten City started life as a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim before becoming a standalone game. Modern Storyteller’s version frames the experience like an investigation set against Greek and Roman myth. You’re dropped into an ancient city under a brutal curse: if any resident commits the slightest sin, everyone is killed by divine punishment. The gameplay goal is to find a way to end the repeating time loop driving the tragedy.

God of War (Santa Monica Studio) — Kratos and the Greek pantheon

Greek mythology in games wouldn’t be complete without God of War. Santa Monica Studio’s action-adventure series has already spent a significant stretch of its past (prior to 2018’s setting change) tearing through the Greek pantheon. The article notes that Kratos went through seven games that decimated the Greek gods, but also adds a platform caveat: as of the time of writing, only God of War 3 is available on PS4 and PS5.

Age of Mythology: Retold (World’s Edge / Forgotten Empires) — strategy with selectable pantheons

If you prefer strategy over combat-by-combat storytelling, Age of Mythology: Retold is positioned as a safe bet for real-time strategy fans who also care about history and myth. The key idea is that you choose your pantheon—Greek, Egyptian, Nordic, and more—and then lead it to victory. The battles are described as large-scale, with the series’ hallmark emphasis on managing forces effectively.

Immortals Fenyx Rising (Ubisoft Québec) — a humorous take on Greek heroics

After Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft Québec returned to Greek mythology with Immortals Fenyx Rising, which is framed as one of the publisher’s strongest releases from recent years. The game is inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and puts you in the role of Fenyx, a mortal tasked with helping the Greek gods stop Typhon, a Titan. The tone is highlighted as humorous, leaning into mythology as an adventure rather than a grim siege.

Whether you want an open-world grind, a time-loop mystery, myth-driven strategy, or a god-slaying spectacle, these titles offer different ways to keep the ancient Greece spotlight burning after L’Odyssée.
