Does this sound like it would make a great story to you, do you find it interesting?

Now imagine if everything in mythology and certain things in history is com-packed into one story, so since the bible talks about Nephilim Giants, there are legends of Fairies, Mermaids and Elfs, in history you had Samurai and Vikings, in medieval times you had Knights and Witches, in spiritual teachings there are Gods, Angels and Demons, etc. etc. ...Now imagine all these things were in one epic story or if it were a video game you could play as any of the things I mentioned, you could play as a Samurai, Viking or even a Mermaid ....The theme of the story or game would simply be that you have to save the world from evil Gods and their minions, their minions would be some of the Giants, Witches and certain Demons ...while certain Witches, Demons and Giants will help you along the way

What do you think?

I think that concept is too broad and you won't be able to engage with any part of it in a meaningful way. I'm just glad you didn't throw in dozens of sci-fi concepts to boot. I'm okay with engaging with more than one mythology, but if you lack a meaningful thru line to connect the dots, you end up with kitchen-sink fantasy. And since you only mention the setting and not characters or specific gameplay, it would almost certainly be poor quality, especially if it came from an unproven newbie creator.

I think its a pretty generic fantasy setting, but in my opinion not the best one, rather than "In this world everything fantastical is real" I would much more be intrigued by a worldbuilding where you might find witches, but not necessarily demons. Its not just a "fantasy come true" but rather an alternate world with its own reality and rules, so for some reason vikings might be the most powerful people in this alternate reality while samurai don't exist. And in my opinion, a themed, well worked setting that helps you dive deeper into specific cultures, themes or aspects is far more interesting than a setting that includes countless themes but only superficially.

You have a setting, but no real plot. A story "could" be cool set in a world with multiple mythologies but "saving the world" is too broad of a motivation.

Thank you for the critique, I love it

Sounds cool. Except my only issue would be it would be difficult to put all of them together.

Unless you put in themes of vibrational frequency which is basically you can only perceive within a certain frequency of what is there. (Your eyes can perceive 400 to 790 THz... Your ears can hear 20 to 20,000 Hz) Or certain portals or gateways that tend to enhance your perception therefore it's common to see sightings of mythical creatures there. I'm from the Philippines and stories of "aswangs" sometimes make the nightly news (the same news that covers serious politics, crime, etc). One time I saw a news clip of how local police tried to shoot one down because an aswang ate too many pregnant women's babies.

So yes. It's scientifically plausible that all those mythical creatures exist.
