This time around, he is accompanied by his son Atreus as they attempt to reach the summit located within Midgard – the homeworld of Norse mythology Gods, so Kratos can come face-to-face with his past mistakes. While there are no guns involved here, expect plenty of bloodthirsty battles featuring brutal melee weapons combined with magical abilities, all rendered thanks beautifully to Sony Santa Monica Studios' advanced game engine technology 'Uncharted 4'.

Uncharted Series

This series is often compared to the beloved action-adventure franchise due to its thrilling story-driven campaigns, which makes sense considering the original developers of Uncharted were also part of the team behind Lara Croft’s iconic journey.

Shadow Of The Colossus

Taking inspiration from Greek mythology (and more specifically, Heracles), this cult classic has been acclaimed by critics since its launch back in 2005 for its unique take on action-adventure gaming, where instead of fighting enemies directly, your goal is actually taking down giant monsters known as Colossi all around a vast open world environment filled with fascinating mysteries waiting to be discovered. This game may not feature firearms or stealth sections but trust me when I say that it will give you enough excitement and thrills anyway, thanks to its amazing boss fights!

Far Cry Series

What started as an ambitious first installment quickly grew into one of their most successful franchises ever created, featuring chaotic open-world scenarios full of terrorist forces threatening local villages while also facing off against dangerous wildlife roaming around freely throughout each map.
