With Christopher Nolan's epic film adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" drawing crowds and critical acclaim for its ambitious scope and distinctive style, Polygon has put together a list of video games for fans wanting to prolong the mood between cinema trips. The outlet notes that, despite the richness of ancient Greek mythology, it is used surprisingly rarely as a video game setting, though a handful of standout titles capture similar themes of seafaring, gods and monsters.

The list spans multiple genres and eras, including Ubisoft's open-world action-RPG "Assassin's Creed Odyssey", set during the Peloponnesian War; Santa Monica Studio's "God of War" trilogy, following Kratos's battles against the Olympian gods; Supergiant Games' roguelikes "Hades" and "Hades 2"; the long-running action-RPG "Titan Quest"; and Ensemble Studios' real-time strategy game "Age of Mythology". A tenth pick, unrelated to Greek mythology, is included purely for sharing the film's atmosphere and tone.
