Game where you start as a literal zero, but then grow to eventually be fighting oppositions of epic proportions...

You dont know that, til near the end

Serious Sam

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2

Morrowind. You start out struggling to kill crabs and end up killing living gods and becoming a god yourself. Through pure gameplay too.

Morrowind

Play Super Robot Wars X it literally has Gurren Lagann and all the other anime fight the antispiral

Episode 5 is underrated.

Spore

Ace Combat 4.

You start out as some rookie pilot, hell I think the first mission in the game is the first mission your character takes on.

but eventually get get noticed, by both sides, and you start going on more and more dangerous missions AND near the end of the game, enemies will shit themselves in fear just by your very presence

mounntwen blader

Risk of Rain 1 and to some extent 2

Star Ruler.

only thing I canthink of is OG roguelikes, and eventhen you don't play as a zero you play as an @

Terraria fits this nicely
You go from a dude needing a guide telling him that houses hold people to murdering some knockoff cthulu corpse

JRPG's generally do this, but I find Suikoden I & II especially satisfying because the story is so good and not generally Japan bat-shit retarded.
It very naturally progresses from being just the good 'civilian' to 'hey, the empire might be doing some evil stuff' too little skirmishes, recruiting more member, finding a base of operations, to full on epic war battles. All the while with very endearing characters.

The Wonderful 101 pretty much follows the progression of Gurren Lagann to a T.

Armored Core 3
You're a raven. Good for you, you've passed the tests for the exam and can now be a hired muscle for the three corporation that exist as the oligopoly under the watchful eye of The Controller, an omnipotent AI acting as administrator for your dystopic city.
The corporations have plans for the future of the city, and you're just a tool for them to use of and dispose of.
If you actually manage to survive your first few missions, you'll be under the scrutiny of the other Ravens, who won't hesitate to give you kick in the nuts whenever they feel like you're getting too uppity.
Good luck, Raven

Should I play the first one or jump to the second right away?

Elona+ is good for that.
Start the game having trouble doing much of anything and if you keep playing long enough you can solo all the gods at once and then the gods inside those gods too.

Any Shin Megami Tensei game?

That's every Ace Combat game, not just 4.

A thousand rpgs starts with a adventure MC and finish with him fighting a God like being.

WONDERFUL FUCKING 101
UNITEE MOOORRRPHH!!
UNITEE HAAAAANNDD!!

This. If that's the experience you're looking for, almost any RPG will provide it. The few that don't will usually say so upfront as a selling point for people who prefer something more small-scale.

TTGL would be better if it ended after the first part.
You can't refute that fact.

Play vidya Utena.
It won't disappoint.

World of Warcraft

Many, many Neverwinter Nights modules. Two of the official add-ons (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark) are like that. Two of the best fan modules for that experience are Aielund Saga and Tales of Arterra.

>story ends with Simone at square one without his bro and without the mental strength to continue the journey
yeah that sounds so much better

Why are there so many games that involve killing God? COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT GODDAMNIT

>goes back to square one again after part 2
Hmmm...

This. Zoomers will get raped by wolves and probably enjoy it because of course they're all fucking furries, but a few cunning and tenacious ones will overcome the challenge and eventually grow to challenge demigods.

This is my pick. You start with saving the elementary kids, and end with saving the world.

God is the personification of infinity. YOU come up with something greater.

This is the objectively right answer. Not only does the game basically tell you that you're a nobody immigrant sent as a prisoner, seen as a nobody foreigner by everyone, but you start off feeling like a nobody who has to pay to use the Silt Striders and runs at a speed of 1 mph and can easily get beaten up by random bandits. Then later in the game you can literally fly and levitate over entire cities and kill physical gods.

what about like a really big robot

>This is the objectively right answer.
Objection.
Gothic games exist.

yeah but in 4 the final mission has aces from every squadron join yours

The only one I can think of is SMTII and even then it's so far down the Apocrypha it might as well be a Sci-Fi supercomputer.

Usually, it's a so-called God, a god among gods, a god-like entity, etc...

>one ends on a sad note before even defeating the creatures pushing humans to extinction
>other ends after the grand finale of ending the great evil threatening the universe
Maybe I'm just biased here

6 has you as some dude in the Emmerian Air Force, but at no point did it say you were a rookie.

What about god the sequel ultimate edition

>the robot has something written on it
>read
>this robot is stronger than god
>larger cardinality god
someone tell dbz super there's a way forward

Yeah but in 5 the second-to-last mission has aces from every squadron ON BOTH SIDES join yours while singing an epic song and also you and your team might literally be supernatural beings, or at least empowered by one.

That's literally Ace Combat.

Ace Combat 04, you are literally confirmed to be be the return of Jesus. The messiah who saves the world from falling asteroids.

The Aftermath: Reboot campaign for Freespace 2. Not the most well-written FS2 campaign ever, but it goes ridiculously over the top in fun ways. It's also one of the longest FS2 campaigns I've ever seen.

Also Ace Combat Zero. You are so feared by everyone they refer to you as a demon lord.

Dungeons and Dragons

Modded Minecraft unironically, with the right mods.
You start off as some guy punching trees to get wood to becoming an overpowered winged guy with power armour with enough spells and guns to decimate bootleg Godzilla and Death itself. Unfortunately because it's a Java game you can't get any farther than that in terms of "battles of epic proportions" you can get pretty close though, most of the space mods kinda suck and the mech mods are left incomplete (that Metal Gear Rex mod still doesn't have the fucking railgun)

There's also Terraria which does the same thing except you can fight shit like the Moon Lord (which is basically bootleg Cthulhu) and become pretty fucking OP and turn into a bullet hell dispenser, despite again starting off as some guy that builds a wooden house to survive.

I think the second Drakengard game had something similar to what you're talking about although that might just be my memory being shit.
