So the God of War franchise is no stranger to titan sized beings with the Greek Titans making plenty of appearances pre-PS4, and Norse Giants/Joten (who are not always literal giants) playing a key role in our protagonists’ story in the more recent Next Gen versions.

Sadly, there’s not much in terms of M/f content, with one brief scene I remember in GoW2 with Rhea and Kronos at 0:50 :

Another is the interactions between Pandora and Hephaestus in GoW3, the story of her creation here at 1:40 :

But one part I think of note is from the more recent GoW Ragnarok involves Atreus entering the home of the giantess, Gryla, to save some animals. I realise the scene below focusses primarily on Atreus, a teenage boy, but he is accompanied by Angrboda, who is also the granddaughter of Gryla. Also, there are some nice perspective/comparative shots of them against features of a giant’s home, kitchenware and Gryla herself. I guess this could be for the exploration fans!

This part of the story itself is quite sad (but what part of the game isn’t?) with themes of abandonment, loss and the toll grief can take on family.

Scale is maybe 1:6 ?

@i-am-insane there’s one book that I always think of when I read that sort of story. Flux, by Stephen Baxter, is about very small people in the far future, living inside of a neutron star and the kinds of problems they’d have to deal with in an environment on that scale. It’s ostensibly “hard” science fiction, and the author is pretty well-known for the outlandish but supposedly plausible concepts that he brings into his stories. He’s also one of the grimmest hard SF writers I’ve read. His worlds are just very, very bleak. BUT he wrote a story that deals with the actual physics of a society of microscopic people, so props for that.
