- Darksiders: This action-adventure game, developed by Vigil Games, shares some similarities with God of War in its fast-paced combat and exploration. Players control War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as he navigates a post-apocalyptic world inspired by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
- Hacksaw Ridge: Another action-packed game, Hacksaw Ridge, developed by Locomotive Games, features a similar blend of combat and platforming. Players control Iceman, a character with a troubled past, as he navigates a series of challenging levels.
- Devil May Cry 4: While not as directly similar to God of War as some other games on this list, Devil May Cry 4's stylish combat and intense action sequences make it a great option for fans of the series.

- Dante’s Inferno Xbox 360
- Darksiders Xbox 360
- Castlevania Lords of Shadow Xbox 360
- Conan Xbox 360
- Why it fits: The gameplay is almost identical. Fixed camera angles, quick-time event executions, light/heavy attack combos, magic abilities, and massive bosses. Instead of Greek mythology, you dive into Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of Hell.
- The Vibe: Violent, gothic, and surprisingly faithful to the source material. You play a Crusader who must fight through Hell to save his beloved Beatrice. You wield Death’s own scythe.
- Xbox 360 Performance: Runs beautifully at 60fps on the 360. The "Unholy" edition includes the Dark Forest DLC.
- Verdict: This is the closest you will ever get to God of War on an Xbox console.
- The "Dante’s Inferno" Effect: In 2010, EA released Dante’s Inferno, a hyper-violent, hack-and-slash game starring a bald, angry anti-hero with chain-blade-like weapons (Death’s Scythe). It looked, played, and felt like God of War. Many casual players misremembered this as God of War.
- The "Too Human" Failure: Silicon Knights’ Too Human featured a cybernetic Norse god (Baldur) fighting monsters. It had a similar camera angle and loot system, but clunky controls. It wasn't Kratos, but it scratched a similar mythological itch.
- Fake Covers: During the 360’s heyday, custom box art was a big thing on DeviantArt. People would print fake "God of War: Blood & Metal" covers for the 360, stick them in a Blockbuster case, and the legend grew.
