God of War Ragnarok is undoubtedly one of the best games that came out this year. The only flaw that this game has is that it is probably a little too good. As every player can relate that after finishing GoW, no other games feel right.
The excellent quality, mixed with an amazing narrative and flawless combat, makes God of War: Ragnarok a worthy nomination for the “Game of the Year” awards. The immersion of the game is so good that, after completing it, players may experience a Kratos size hole in their hearts. That is why to help you with your GoW hangover, here are five games that may feel very close to home.

5 God of War Ragnarok-like games to try
Without further ado, let’s jump into the list of games that will definitely help you satisfy your post-God of War urges.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Just like Ragnarok, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla also has its setting in the Norse Mythological world. It has a massive open world filled to the brim with content and mysteries to explore. The RPG elements and the progression are also very similar to GoW. The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a massive single-player campaign that may take 100+ hours to complete.
Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
If you enjoyed the monster-filled world of GoW then Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is just the game for you. The dark fantasy world of Witcher has a lot to offer and the amazing characters and magnificently well-written plot of the Game make it a worthy post-GoW game. Just like GoW, Witcher 3 was also nominated for the “Game of the Year” awards.

Horizon Forbidden West
The open-world aspects of GOW can be found in Horizon Forbidden West. The game also offers a vast map filled with monsters and creatures but, the only difference is, instead of massive mythical creatures of the epics, the monsters in Horizon are colossal robots. The exploration possibilities are endless in this game.
A Plague Tale

Ragnarok teaches us that no matter what, family always comes first. A Plague Tale does the same, as the game tells a story of a young brother and sister making their way through the dark plague-ridden world. All they have is each other in their perilous adventure.
