Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty places you in a fictionalized period set before the fall of the Han Dynasty. Much like Nioh, Fallen Dynasty combines a real story from China's history with the supernatural. Throughout the game, you battle historical characters -- like Feng Xi and Zhang Liang -- and creatures from Chinese mythology like Zhu Yan and Taotie. Artistically, the game is beautiful. The combat is fast-paced and complex -- you must deflect attacks in order to successfully counter an enemy's attack.
As far as lore goes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will take you to Japan's Sengoku period, where you play Wolf, a shinobi whose duty is to protect his lord. Many of the creatures you'll face off against in Sekiro are inspired by yokai -- supernatural creatures and entities in Japanese mythology. There are also multiple locations in Sekiro that pay tribute to historic Japanese landmarks, Four Loong Brothers like the Senpou Temple, based on the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto.

Set in a world that's inspired by Norse mythology, you play the titular character, Senua, a Celtic warrior who must make her way to Helheim (the afterlife) to rescue the soul of her dead lover. Along the way, you defeat enemies that include malformed Norsemen and Norse Gods like Surtr, Fenrir and Hela.
While the game being tied so closely with mythology and its action elements are what earned it a spot on this list, what makes Senua's Sacrifice such a powerful tale is its depiction of psychosis, told through the voices -- or "Furies" -- in Senua's head as she battles with mental health.
Set in a large open world, Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a realm blessed by gods. Similar to Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring is action-focused and deals with defeating dangerous bosses. The recently-released DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, continues the story in the Realm of Shadow with even more dangerous enemies to overcome. There are references to mythology scattered throughout, like the Erdtree's likeness to Yggdrasil in Norse mythology.
