Video games allow us to be whatever we want, and what is more preferable than being a god? Given the choice, it is better to fantasize about being omnipotent and, above all, having the ability to make life impossible for people. If you have always wanted to create your own world, be loved by everyone and shape reality and destiny, we bring you top god games where you can play god.
The Gamers we compensate for the fragility of our ego by having it enormous, as big as a god, because that is what you will be able to embody in these games that we bring you today.
Unleash your power fantasy, which we started with…
Worldbox, the best god simulator
It is not bad to start by giving such a forceful opinion, but it is that, without a doubt, It is the game that best captures the essence of being a god right now and all you can do with it.
which is basically anything except play it on console, since it is only for PC and mobile.
in this game you are a god capable of creating or destroying the world at will. And it is that, when one thinks of being divine, he thinks of the infinite freedom to do what he wants and this sandbox captures that very well.
El simulation level is really deep And, as the gods that we are, we will observe the rise of civilizations and empires, being able to help them, ignore them or send them seven plagues just because. It's all very pixelated and retro, but to me, that only adds to the charm.
Full Control, endless possibilities, no microtransactions, very active developers (who keep the game interesting with lots of new features) and a community of players that is the envy of other more popular titles. Little more can be asked for.
Without a doubt, our choice if you really want to feel what an omnipotent being must be like, with the fate of the whole world in his hands.
From Dust, the award-winning god simulator
if you prefer some more modern graphics, with a very original and spectacular design, From Dust is our next pick for games where you pretend to be god.
Also, this time you will also have it for console and, since the game is already 10 years old (it's from 2011), you won't have a problem if you have a Play 3, for example.
In this title multi-awarded You control the environment in which a primitive tribe moves and develops. And you will have to help them, because the wild nature is not so agree that those humans evolve enough to fill it with plastic in the future.
Luckily, as you embody a God, you can influence what happens and stop eruptions and floods across 13 different territories in story mode, along with 30 additional maps in challenge mode.
It's not as deep as WorldBox, but it doesn't need to be either and there are many ways to get through each level, which makes it very creative. Insist that we love its graphic design, seriously. Don't be fooled by how old the game is, it's a little work of art.
The Universim, planet and god simulator
Manage a kingdom, a colony or a nation? That's for fans. Better simulate a whole planet in which humanity develops from the moment it comes down from the tree until it puts WiFi in the toasters for some reason that escapes us.
With Universim, a game that started on Kickstarter, we can take control of that planet.
We are the gods we watch from arriba the development of our worshipers, being able to influence for the better, for the worse (because it is clear that they deserve punishment) or letting everything run by itself towards disaster, as in real life.
Available only for PC, is ideal for all those who always wanted to be able to send a natural disaster from time to time.
Crest, god and the commandments
Crest is a very curious game in which you are a god and you act, literally, writing commandments. The funny thing is that those damn humans have the damn mania of possessing the damn free will. So what you write can be interpreted in many ways, especially of all those that you did not expect.
That is, again as in reality.
With survival game elements and an aesthetic low-poly which gives it a very curious charm, you can find it on Steam for PC, but beware, it is not in spanish language, nor for console. It seems that these devices are more of atheists and pagans.
Reus, giants and gods
Reus is an independent game in which we manage a series of 4 giants with so much power that they are capable of modifying nature, providing resources (animals, plants and minerals), creating life and even playing genetic engineering.
Located in a cute and colorful 2D world, the most interesting thing about the game is that, once again, the free will of those who adore you gets in the way and it turns everything upside down.
So even though you are the most benevolent god in the world, if you shower your followers with lots of resources and goods, they may become greedy and start warring and doing evil anyway.
In other words, you are not directly responsible for the disaster if it occurs and your intentions were good. Like it or not, it's a break for conscience, if there is any gamer that still has something like that.
As a curiosity, this one You can play it on both PC and console.
The Black & White series, by Peter Molyneux
You can't talk about games where you can be God without the name coming out Peter Molyneux. He is the creator of the original god simulator, Populous, whose cover of the second part illustrates the headline of this article and I enjoyed it well on my old first PC when the 90s reared their noses.
The series Populous has had a few incarnations (and continuation rumors that, unfortunately, have not come true yet), until reaching Populous: The beginning, the final title from 1998, more like an RTS than the original god simulator.
So, to close this list as it deserves, we also have to talk about the series Black & White, Molyneux's other foray into god simulations, with a different approach to that of Populous.
This title already has nothing less than 20 years old and it's only for PC. In it, you are a newborn deity with a huge pet that you can choose (cow, lion, monkey, tiger or wolf).
On the plus side, the game's AI is pretty good and doesn't penalize whether you're a good or evil god, you can succeed with both approaches.
As against, what can't buy anymore (although you may find it somewhere on abandonware if you search) and that, perhaps, the player does not have much direct control over the game.
As you can see, options God Games They are not lacking if you want to be what you always longed for, a humble almighty god who unleashes his wrath against everyone. Because let's face it, in all these games you're always brushing the button to send some plague or disaster. The other is not funny.
