I never thought about how often mythology is invoked in video games before. Very interesting deep dive into the history of myth-inspired games!

It’s SUPER common, and becoming more so! Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it!

Neat video😙 It really awesome whenever videogames using myths and cultures from different country to tell a stories . I would imagine the team behind each videogames have to researching for days(i feel respect for their dedication , but also bad for their tired work😅)

[@ODISeth]

Thank you! And goodness, it took me a week just to do the research for this video, I’m sure it takes months or even years to write most video game stories, especially if they are trying to keep the representation mythologically accurate. But still, their hard work clearly pays off
