Praey for the Gods

If it was just boss fights I would probably recommend the game, but it's ruined by the tedious, grindy, time-wasting survival mechanics. Weapons break after a few hits, you're constantly having to manage hunger, stamina, temperature etc. Everything you do has some sort of resource cost and it's just tiring having to keep track of it all. The world feels empty, combat is clunky, climbing barely works (sometimes you'll randomly fall or flip upside down for no reason). There's no reason to explore because any cool gear you find will be broken after a small amount of use so what's the point? It costs too much for what's on offer and I don't see how 80% of players recommend it when roughly 8% of them actually *finished* the game...

Too janky. Frustratingly so.

This was purely a game to ride off of Shadow of the Colossus. It's sad to see that it went the way of a basic :Run around and find resources" simulator rather than an actual game. I could not recommend it in good faith.

Underdeveloped game with a lot of missed opportunities. Q: Would I recommend? A: Only on a heavy discount and if you're ready to get bored. [+] 1) Tight leather pants At least something to look at in this game... 2) Overall good performance There are some huge FPS drops, especially during boss fight, but overall solid native 4K 120+ FPS performance. 3) Good idea, but underdeveloped [-] 1) No in-game FPS limiter 2) Crude, unpolished 3) Big, but empty world 4) Simple survival elements 5) Repetitive 6) Find boss, climb boss, ring the bells, repeat 7) Plain textures 8) Occasional flickering 9) Occasional bugs Conclusion: 5/10

What's to say that hasn't been said? It's attempting to recapture the gameplay and atmosphere of Shadow of The Colossus, but unfortunately falls short. That doesn't mean it's a bad game by any means, but Praey for The Gods sets itself a very high bar. I enjoyed it for the most part, but the survival mechanics are unnecessary. Thankfully, you can turn them almost entirely off. I appreciate that the team tried to add things to the SotC formula (minibosses, crafting, etc), and I liked the grappling hook a lot, but mostly it takes away from the core of the game - the bosses. And how are the bosses? Eh... they're okay. Sometimes a bit wonky with the physics and a little frustrating, but for the most part fun to fight. It's just unfortunate that this game has half the bosses of SotC, cutting down from 16 to 8. I dunno. I commend them from trying new things, and I did enjoy most of my time with the game, but it left me a little unsatisfied. With SotC I beat the game several times and got every achievement - I wanted to spend more time with it. PftG left me with an initial desire to explore some more, but then I released there wouldn't be anything exciting to experience beyond the main campaign. TLDR: If you're curious, it's worth a playthrough if you can get it on sale.

Just a janky ripoff version of shadow of the colossus. Highly disappointed in the gameplay and physics. 2/10

Jogão. É uma cópia de Shadow of the colossus + Zelda Breath of the wild, mas não me importo, é gostosinho de jogar. As boss fight são excelentes, a gameplay é muito boa e a exploração me pegou de jeito (lá ele). O hook shot pra escalar os cenários foi toque de gênio, coisa linda, nem os Zeldas novos têm isso. Me surpreendi positivamente com o game, não me deparei com nenhum bug que quebrou o jogo e as mecânicas são todas sólidas. Não são perfeitas, mas funcionam muito bem. Os visuais são bem bonitos, a trilha sonora é muito boa e o game não fica cuspindo na sua cara o que precisa ser feito, você tem que explorar e experimentar pra progredir. Ou seja, capturou bem o espírito desses dois jogos que ele foi baseado. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores, fizeram um belíssimo trabalho. JOGUE ESTA MERD4 QUE É BOM

Terrible. Controls and fights are clunky, slow and far from enjoyable.
