Successfully funded on Kickstarter the following year, the title entered Early Access on Steam in 2019 and we had the opportunity to try it twice in the course of time, finally going to verify the mechanics of this peculiar action survival and its eventual ability to offer an experience in line with the great ambitions of the authors, determined to bring even on PC atmospheres similar to those of the masterpiece directed by Fumito Ueda.

What drives a team consisting of just three people to embark on a complex undertaking full of unknowns such as making a homage to Shadow of the Colossus? We wondered that back when No Matter Studios announced the game back in 2015, when it was still called Prey for the Gods, without the added vowel under Bethesda’s request. The strange spelling of the title was forced on the creators by Bethesda, which before the premiere of Prey banned the use of the word "prey" in the title of the game by the No Matter studio.The homage to Shadow of the Colossus created by a team of just three people has surprisingly launched on PC, PlayStation and Xbox: Praey for the Gods review. In combination with the prevailing climate in the game world, which translates, among other things, into severely limited visibility, the developers, however, managed to give the gameplay a specific atmosphere and unique character, somewhat similar to the original over a decade ago. The game was created based on Unity Engine 5, and its graphic design stands at an average level. The basis of the gameplay is the story campaign. In Praey for the Gods we can play only alone. From found objects and resources we can create new things - a crafting system has been implemented here (it's worth noting that this mechanic is also used to deal with challenges thrown by the land itself - survival elements can be found in the production). We should also pay attention to caves and underwater complexes, where we often find useful equipment.
Exploration plays an important role - if we get to the top of the mountain, we can soar to places previously inaccessible. It is worth noting that Prey for the Gods is a non-linear game - the player decides where to go and which monster to face. The fight with them requires not only a lot of ingenuity and perceptiveness, thanks to which we discover the weak points of each of the colossi, but also often breakneck climbing over the monsters' bodies to deliver a knockout blow. Just like in Shadow of the Colossus, the core of the gameplay here are duels with powerful opponents, who are many times bigger than our heroine. Prey for the Gods is an action adventure game in which we explore the frozen world (we look at it from behind the protagonist's back - from the so-called TPP view). This task, however, will be made difficult by the extremely harsh climate of the island and the fact that our protagonist was forced to travel with only her own clothes. It turns out that powerful gods in which she once believed are behind the whole situation, and the only chance to restore balance in the world is to face them. We play as a lone female protagonist, sent on a dangerous mission to investigate the causes of the never-ending winter, which has almost completely paralyzed life so far. The game is set on a vast, ice-covered island, somewhere on the edge of dying world. The title is a debut work of a small, three-person studio No Matter from San Francisco. Praey for the Gods (originally Prey for the Gods) is a third-person action game with survival elements, being a spiritual heir of one of the most cult productions from the PlayStation 2 console, i.e.
