Survival crafting elements!” Oh here we fucking go. Maybe they’ve all been widdling in the rivers. The world is boned, and also in the plot of the video game the world is boned, and killing the seven colossi will in some way help. Praey for the Gods doesn’t make it quite so clear. your girlfriend has carked it and you’re hoping if you murder a few skyscrapers her spirit will be caught by the gravitational pull of your gigantic balls. ![]() Only where in Shadow of the Colossus you’re doing it for very coherent and emotionally affecting story reasons, i.e. You’re a traveller who comes to a distant land and gets told by a weird mystical disembodied voice in a temple to go to a series of ambulatory historical interest sites and duff them up. And Praey for the Gods is Shadow of the Colossus but shorter and not as really good. Inconveniently, however, I have, and even less conveniently, I very clearly remember it being really good. Anyway, quick summary: Praey for the Gods is a third person open world game that I imagine one would probably look upon a lot more charitably had one never heard of Shadow of the Colossus. Still a better option than Praey for the Gods, I’d say, ‘cos that’s both not a pun and not a fucking word. And they couldn’t call it P-R-A-Y for the Gods, ‘cos that’s not a pun. Apparently they couldn’t call it P-R-E-Y for the Gods ‘cos of concern it’d get confused with P-R-E-Y the other game.

I had thought that the story was inspired by the Norse mythology, with the sarcophagi being the Great Norns, the wolf being Fenrir and the fire giants as fire giants, as they did bring the end of the world, but it doesn't exactly fit.This week in Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Praey for the Gods. Thank you.īy the way, any idea why there were volcanoes erupting and lava giants attacking at the end? They had seals similar to the Thrall's, but no bells or ropes. Of course some things don't line up with this theory, such as the fact that the God(s) in the physical forms try to kill the player while the player is releasing them, though you could claim being trapped in such a form drove them insane.

Considering it grows the more the essence of the tree in the temple is restored, it is very likely connected to it/them in some way. The wolf, based on some notes, seems to be an agent on of the God(s), searching for someone capable of fighting off the physical forms the God(s) were trapped in. Since the protagonist was still alive, they couldn't come to this new world, but were granted somekind of boon to make survival in the dead world easier as a thanks for helping the Gods escape their torment.
