Faith-Based Video Games & Creators

Christians have had a bad rep for not creating good art. Whether it’s literal drawings, music, movies, or even video games, people are quick to point out how unentertaining a lot of their content can be.

While this can be true for some productions, it can’t be said for all. In regards to video games, I struggled to find games that included my faith in Christ and belief in God that were made with excellence. Let’s be real, video games need to be good for people to play them, especially with the competition there is out there for our time and money!

Because I have played and found some that fit that criteria, I wanted to highlight those games below. This is a list of strictly Christian based games with links to play them, as well as a list of creators or companies that you can check out for new games.

If you would like to add a game or content creator/company, let me know in the comments or message me! Always looking to add more, and I definitely have not found all of them.
