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.”

    Most of the Dark Souls are like that, ain’t they? I’m too weak sauce to ever reach those levels, though. Black Myth Wukong has you starting Heaven’s entire army, so I guess that qualifies too (I’m assuming you end up fighting a god at the end, but again, I’m not worthy)

      Monkey canonically kicks all the gods’ asses, but then loses to Buddha, who is not a god. That’s because instead of using force, Buddha preys on Monkey’s ego by giving him an unwinnable bet. And THEN Buddha drops a mountain on him.
