* The VideoGame/{{Mother}} games [[spoiler: have the characters thank the player for their assistance towards the end of the game.]] ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound}}'' takes it a step further, by having [[spoiler:the player deal the most damaging attack in the entire series (capping out at nearly 25,000 damage) using nothing but a prayer, and it's the final coup de grace needed to destroy [[EldritchAbomination Giygas]]]].

* The 1989 ''VideoGame/{{Populous}}'' is probably the TropeMaker for type B or at the very least the TropeCodifier. You are an unseen God whose goal is "leading your civilization to glory".

* ''VideoGame/{{Tearaway}}'' casts you in the role of a god-like being, using the touchscreens on your PlayStation Vita to interact with the game world and help the Messenger in his quest to deliver his message.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}}'', where you play as a mortal that has been raised up to be an AnthropomorphicPersonification of any element of the world, from Dreams to Water to Computers. From the start of the game any Noble has enough power to destroy the world or change great parts of it, and you only get stronger. Most of the conflict of the game tends to revolve around using social manuevering, politicking, and in general ''not'' using your whole power to flatten everything in the way, because when your opponents ''also'' have enough power to blow up the world, it pays to play nice and be indirect.

** With the ''Broken-Winged Crane'' Infernals can eventually mutate into new beings called ''[[OurTitansAreDifferent Titans]]'', resembling Primordials (the beings who created ''the gods''), yet still retain some beneficial human traits and are able to choose powers à la carte to avoid being BlessedWithSuck. Of course, going behind the back of an entire pantheon of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s to even start the transformation is extremely difficult.

* ''Videogame/DwarfFortress'' Adventurer Mode offers type B, as one of the chargen options is 'Demigod', and you have the potential to achieve a worshipped reputation over the course of the game.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tearaway}}'' casts you in the role of a god-like being, using the touchscreens on your Playstation Vita to interact with the game world and help the Messenger in his quest to deliver his message.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'', [[spoiler:Shulk becomes one in the ending, although he throws away his power in favor of recreating a world without gods.]]

* The little-known game ''Lords of Creation'' has its players start as "ordinary" adventuring types. By raising their "force" stat enough times they eventually become Lords of Creation, demigods with the power to go anywhere in space and time, and create pocket universes of their own (this was meant to allow players to create their own settings and trade off GMs every once in a while). There's even stats for members of various mythological pantheons in the pack-in material, so players have a chance to rub shoulders with their peers.

** Notably averted in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''. Despite being in possession of the [[ArtifactOfDoom three tools]] necessary to to become a god in the presence of [[CosmicKeystone Heart of Lorkhan]] from which godhood can be extracted, you're never given instruction on how to do so. You're only choice is to use the tools to destroy the enchantments on the Heart, unbinding everyone who had previously used it to achieve godhood, including [[BigBad Almalexia]]. It's not all bad though, as you get to keep your SemiDivine status, including being TheAgeless and having IdealIllnessImmunity as a result of the disease you have which was based on the power of the Heart.

* ''VideoGame/Simmiland'' Cast you as a god trying to advance your creations from prehistory to Spaceage through a unique card game mechanic.

** Similarly, Troika's ''VideoGame/TempleOfElementalEvil'' game has the characters directly acknowledge your commands. Again. [[MostAnnoyingSound And again. And ag-]] '''[[ObviousBeta TOEE.exe has performed an illegal operation and must close.]]'''

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': Specifically the second, which takes place after [[spoiler:the hero has overthrown Ares and taken his place]]. He ends up having to regain his lost power, however.

* The main idea of the ''VideoGame/{{Dominions}}'' series; the players are gods seeking to become the [[TopGod one supreme god]] after the previous holder of the title, the Pankrator, vanishes.

* In ''VideoGame/{{MARDEK}} RPG 3'', when complimented by the king at one point on a job well done, Mardek smilingly replies, "I can only move at the will of my unseen master!

* Both {{Drawn to Life}} games make you a god, namely, the Creator.

* The main idea of the ''VideoGame/{{Dominions}}'' series.

* Implied in the first series of ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' games, as the units (barring [[TheVoiceless the Necrons]]) seem to talk to the player as if they're even higher-ranked than their commanders, or if the commanders themselves are referring to someone higher ranked than them. To really drive it home, weak Chaos units will ''ask the player to bless them'', although other units will sometimes [[RageAgainstTheHeavens talk]] ''[[RageAgainstTheHeavens back]]'' to the user.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Darkspore}}'', the player character is a Crogenitor, a {{Precursor}} who's spent the last millenium in cryosleep. This may be a mixture of both types, though.

* The original ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' also qualifies as this if you've been in the space stage for awhile. Destroy a planet? Easy. Create life? Done. Turn a dead rock into a lush planetary oasis? Yep.

* ''VideoGame/{{Darksiders}}'' has you play as the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse (War in the first game, Death in the second). Even Heaven and Hell are scared of the Horsemens' power.

* Every "major" character in ''ValkyrieProfile'' either starts out as a god of some kind, or becomes one when Lenneth Valkyrie picks them up to be her einherjar (they even get their goodhood ranked), except for the character Celia, which is by some regarded as having the saddest storyline because of the fact that she doesn't die, everyone else does and she's left alone.
