In most video games we or I should say our character meets a mentor and learns skill, abilities, and talents from them. That’s what mentors are for. What if the situation is reversed? Are there any games where you play as a mentor character? The answer is yes. In fact, I’ve found 7 games where the player character is a mentor, and NPCs are mentees.
Got some adventure, simulation, and role-playing games. Mentoring works best with RPG genre. I wish there were more role-playing games where we can take the role of a mentor.
A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. – Wikipedia
7 games where you play as a mentor character guiding NPCs:
1. God of War
2. Assassin’s Creed Revelations
3. The Sims 4
Any sim with a level 10 skill level can be a mentor. So, once your Sim hits a level 10 skill, find yourself a suitable mentee and start teaching.
Mentoring other Sims in your household is worth the time investment. Like father like son, right?
Skills can be mentor in The Sims 4 are fishing, fitness, guitar, handiness, logic, painting, piano, programming, violin, and writing.
4. Crusader Kings 3
5. Freud Gate
6. Absolver
7. The You Testament
In The You Testament, you play as the greatest mentor of all times, the Jesus himself! No joking, The You Testament is a biblical epic quest where you play as Jesus Christ and relive the biblical stories.
As you know, Jesus had twelve disciples / apostles. During his lifetimes apostles were his closest followers and students. Jesus mentored them and after the crucifixion of Jesus, his disciples became mentors teaching the gospel messages to all people.
The You Testament features 50+ biblical stories, 30+ historical locations, fun combat mechanics, unique economic system, 24 supernatural powers, and more.
Will you repeat the story, or re-write it? Both scenarios are super fun!
