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.”

        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.

        I 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
