A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Asura's Wrath, DMC1, Bayonetta
Kid Icarus Uprising. You play as a goddess's right hand man, and end up fighting several other gods.
OG Chrono Trigger
Breath of Fire 3. People find a dragon that had been dormant in a crystal for centuries. It wakes up later as a human child. That child travels the world trying to figure out who they are. And then you fight a god, or not it's your choice.
first game I thought of too, that Boss fight knocked My socks off.
I'm a notorious grinder in JRPGs. I love to power level, and that boss took me 45 minutes to beat. For reference the end boss in Tales of Symphonia took three hits from Presea when I got to them.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous.
You start as a level 1 pf1e character and get thrown into a war against demons. This game is pretty hard if you don’t know 1e rules but completely viable, i played it before knowing any 1e. And you don’t end with a level 20 character, you end up much more powerful.
If you are good at making builds, you can have some wild combos, it’s great. It balances the power trip you can have with some brutal fights. Fuck those Bodaks.
I highly recommend it if you enjoy real time CRPGs. Turn based mode exists, but it makes some fights (cough cough tavern *cough cough) take multiple hours.
I would say anyone interested in the game a general rule of thumb would be trash mobs and easy fights = real time and bosses and difficult fights turn based.
One can luckily change that on the fly.
I mean if one is confident in their micro, then one can do most of the game in real time, but the game does have enemy encounters that just feel unfair when fighting real time while feeling better tuned in turn based.
Good game though as one journeys through one of initially 2 "ascension" paths that can eventually branch out into one of 10 different paths as one takes the fight against, technically, gods - but not in the heavenly sense.
Im about four months into my first playthrough of Wrath. Love it.

To some extent the majority of JRPGs fit into this trope. It's a long running joke that it isn't a JRPG if you don't end up fighting a god with the power of friendship.

The entirety of Final Fantasy 14
In the first Witcher game, you fight a god from the Cthulu mythos (Dagon) on like a side quest, and he's not even that tough.
"Doom" is a pretty good one.
"Advent Rising" you find out you are a god.
"Dread Delusion" prisoner to decider of gods fate.
A lot of Kirby games.

Hollow Knight is a game where you start out as a little bug discovering a bug's nest. Then you unlock some secrets, find the secret true final boss, and next thing you know, it ends with you fighting a god.
Shin Megami Tensei 2 and it doesn't just end with you killing a god. You get to kill THE God, YHWH, aka the Abrahamic God!
Kirby Superstar: Milky Way Wishes. Ohh you think it's a game about pink ball stopping the sun and moon from fighting? NOPE, here's a jester with power of god.
Pokemon. Technically you don't end with fighting god but somewhere you're fighting a pokemon that's basically god of something.
Also does Hades count lol.
Even better for Pokemon, God (Arceus) lets you capture it in a pokeball

Bayonetta invents an entirely new god in the last 10 minutes of the game that was never explained or alluded to before, and then has you piledrive it into the sun.

I mean... Dark Souls is the game that essentially created this meme.
Your entire goal is to beat up God and take his place so you can keep things going as they've been going for an untold number of centuries. Though IMO that's one of the bad endings; the good ending is ending the status quo and becoming a new, different god. A god a humanity instead of... Whatever the fuck the gods before were (they are separated from humanity, even though they look like humans) 🤷🏻♂️.
For a much older game... EarthBound. Starts off just being a quirky, modern day (modern day being the 90's in this case) RPG; ends with you fighting a literal space god that looks vaguely like a fallopian tube.
I'm fairly sure the meme was popularized way back with old JRPGs; just that they tended to be the ones with long enough stories to gain that kind of path of progression.
Yeah if I had to take a guess shin megami tensei series (1987) is solidly in the "... And then you fight God", but a lot games even earlier probably did the same.

Final Fantasy Legends!
Path of Exile has you clearing out the entire pantheon. Then the main campaign is over and you begin the post-game part, which is what actually matters.
Another Crab's Treasure is a cute, fun, cartoony soulslike game where you play as a hermit crab whose shell has been stolen! He heads out on an adventure to get it back.
