AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Praey for the Gods

Like Shadow of the Colossus, you're a lone hero in a frozen, desolate world, tasked with hunting down colossal beasts. The sense of scale and the climbing mechanics to exploit weak points will feel immediately familiar.

91% Match

God of War (2018)

While more combat-focused, God of War shares Shadow of the Colossus's epic sense of scale, challenging boss encounters, and a deeply emotional narrative of a father and son against impossible odds.

85% Match

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

This game allows you to climb and cling to massive monsters, targeting their weak points, much like a colossus hunt. It combines this with a rich fantasy world and a sense of grand adventure.
