Managing a depleting grip meter is key to not being hurled to the ground, as the multi-storey beasts will buck and shake and lurch in an attempt to dislodge the you-shaped irritant scuttling all over them. Once you've traversed the snow drifts and ice cliffs to locate your quarry, you must avoid getting stomped on while figuring out how to clamber onto their hairy bodies, climbing up their legs and across their backs like a ferret until you can reach their glowing weak points. So, Praey For The Gods is an open world action-adventure in which you explore a vast frozen island in search of a bunch of ancient, building-sized gods. Praey For The Gods doesn’t so much wear its influence on its sleeve, as sneak into its influence’s bedroom to wear its perfume and try on all of its underwear, while strutting around in front of the mirror singing “hello boys, my name’s Shadow Of The Colossus, boop-boop-be-doo”. It would be with the PS2 classic that heavily inspired it, Shadow Of The Colossus. But if there were to be any confusion between this game and another, it wouldn’t be with Prey. It was, ironically enough for a game about fighting massive monsters, a David and Goliath situation.

Praey For The Gods was forced to change its name from Prey For The Gods, after Prey publisher Zenimax opposed the new trademark. This week he's murdering giants in Praey For The Gods. Premature Evaluation is the weekly column in which Steve Hogarty explores the wilds of early access.
