The basic concept for Praey is that you play as a lone warrior sent to a dying world to discover the cause of a never-ending winter, which I would venture to guess involves killing vanquishing the towering giants that inhabit the land. Breakwaters, for example, recently positioned itself to deliver a similar experience to tackling the colossi in Team Ico’s masterpiece, but Breakwaters is also mostly a survival crafting game.

There have been a few contenders in the intervening years, but nothing that really scratches that itch. I loved Shadow of the Colossus, and I’ve often lamented how few games managed or even attempted to deliver a similar experience to that thrilling game. Now I just need to find the time to actually play it, what with all of the other games on my plate (it’s been a surprising busy year for games). I just didn’t know when that time would finally arrive. But knowing a console version was on the horizon, I also felt like holding off so I could utilize my DualSense to tackle these monstrous beasts. Part of that was the issue of control, a problem I’ve only recently remedied. I’ve had this game on my Steam Wishlist for some time now, but I could never pull the trigger.
PRAEY FOR THE GODS PS5 PS4
This also happens to be the same day the game was shadow-released for both the PS4 and PS5 at a price point of $29.99. That all changed when a release trailer suddenly dropped on December 14, 2021. For the most part, things have been pretty quiet for this Shadow of the Colossus-like’s console edition. Needless to say, it didn’t hit its target release date. Praey for the Gods was supposed to launch for consoles in the first quarter of 2021.
