If you enjoyed the brutal combat, emotional storytelling, and cinematic boss fights in God of War, there are several Windows action games that hit a very similar vibe. These titles mix deep melee combat, strong characters, and myth‑inspired worlds—and many of them are playable on a capable Windows PC setup (and therefore potential candidates for Winlator on high‑end Android devices).
Note: Modern PS5 exclusives such as God of War Ragnarök or Horizon Forbidden West are not natively available on Windows as of late 2025, so they are not included in the “playable on PC” list here.

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
A dark fantasy action RPG with monster hunting, moral choices, and a strong father‑figure story between Geralt and Ciri. Combat combines swords, signs (magic), and dodging in third‑person, which feels satisfying if you enjoyed Kratos’ mix of melee and abilities.
- Official site: https://thewitcher.com/en/witcher3
- Platforms: Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch.
2. Devil May Cry 5
Fast, stylish hack‑and‑slash combat with multiple playable characters and flashy combos. If you liked God of War’s more aggressive, combo‑driven fights and weapon switching, DMC5 is a natural follow‑up with much higher combo freedom.
- Official site: https://www.devilmaycry5.com
- Platforms: Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S.
3. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
A brutally challenging action game that focuses on parries, posture breaks, and precise timing instead of pure button‑mashing. Boss battles are intense and memorable, similar to Valkyrie or big god fights in God of War.
- Official site: https://www.sekirothegame.com
- Platforms: Windows, PS4, Xbox One.
4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Third‑person lightsaber combat with dodge, parry, and Force powers, built around exploration and semi‑open levels. It shares God of War’s mix of story‑driven progression, puzzle‑like exploration, and weighty melee combat.

- Platforms: Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S.
5. Nioh 2: The Complete Edition
A combat‑heavy action RPG inspired by Japanese folklore and yokai demons. It blends Souls‑style difficulty with fast weapon stances, special moves, and big boss encounters that feel as intense as God of War’s toughest fights.
- Official site: https://teamninja-studio.com/nioh2
- Platforms: Windows, PS4, PS5.
6. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
A shorter, story‑driven game focused on Norse mythology, psychological storytelling, and cinematic presentation. Combat is simpler than God of War’s but still impactful, and the atmosphere is very close to the darker mythological elements of Kratos’ journey.
- Official site: https://www.hellblade.com
- Platforms: Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch.
7. Ghost of Tsushima (PC Port Status)
Ghost of Tsushima is often recommended alongside God of War for its cinematic sword combat and strong story in feudal Japan. As of late 2025, an official PC version has not been released; it remains a PlayStation title, so it cannot be run natively on Windows yet.
- Official site: https://www.suckerpunch.com/category/games/ghost-of-tsushima
- Platforms (currently): PS4, PS5.
8. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
While not strictly required for your article, you can optionally mention Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as a newer continuation of the Fallen Order style with even more large‑scale encounters and refined combat. It is also available on Windows.
