With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reviving the ancient Greek epic on the big screen, you can bring that mythological atmosphere straight to your PC or console. If you want to dive deeper into this legendary world, here are three games that capture the same spirit.

1. Assassin's Creed Odyssey

This open-world RPG puts you in the sandals of a Spartan mercenary, exploring the Greek islands, city-states, and battlefields during the Peloponnesian War. The game brings a major RPG transformation to the series: dialogue choices, romance options, and epic battles against mythological creatures like Medusa, Minotaur, and Cyclops. The map feels like a modern video game interpretation of Homer’s world, with naval combat, a massive open world, and dozens of hours of content. If you want the true Odyssey experience, this is the top pick.

2. Immortals Fenyx Rising

For a lighter and more colorful adventure, step into the role of Fenyx, a demigod in a world where Typhon has imprisoned the gods. Interact with Olympian gods like Zeus, Aphrodite, and Ares, glide with wings, solve puzzle-filled temples, and battle mythological monsters. Its open-world exploration and humorous storytelling make it perfect for anyone who wants Greek mythology in a more fun and adventurous package.

3. Titan Quest

Titan Quest is a classic action RPG with an isometric perspective, where you fight against escaped Titans across ancient Greece, Egypt, and Asia. The Anniversary Edition combines the original game with the Immortal Throne expansion and modern quality-of-life improvements. On Steam, it boasts an 89% “Very Positive” user rating. Bonus tip: Titan Quest II entered early access on August 1 and sold over 300,000 copies in its first three days. After finishing the classic, you can jump right into the sequel.

Which Game Should You Start With?

If you want a cinematic, story-driven experience, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is your best bet. For a lighter, exploration and puzzle-focused adventure, try Immortals Fenyx Rising. If you’re after classic, fast-paced loot hunting, Titan Quest is the one for you.
