    Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games I've never even heard about it back then but after so much nonstop discourse around it, I picked it up after I got a PS4 Pro but then never bothered to play it again with how busy I got. I can definitely say for sure that was a mistake since it ended up being the strangest masterpiece I ended up playing and I for sure regret not diving into itShadow of the Colossus is one of those games I've never even heard about it back then but after so much nonstop discourse around it, I picked it up after I got a PS4 Pro but then never bothered to play it again with how busy I got. I can definitely say for sure that was a mistake since it ended up being the strangest masterpiece I ended up playing and I for sure regret not diving into it sooner. The few but key things that made this game work for me and what I believe are the sole reason why it's so beloved come down to the world, visuals, soundtrack, story, and bosses. Starting off, one look at SOTC's map might look like a very barebones map with absolutely no reason to explore it with how there's no side quests, NPC's, side enemies, interesting collectibles, or even any in game events. But that's the entire point since because of how you can only hear is the occasional bird chirping in the air and your horse galloping through the land as you travel and hear nothing else, it gives off a sense of loneliness that you don't normally feel in open world games making you feel like something is constantly off about what you're doing. Plus, it's therapeutic in a way thanks to it's emptiness meaning as you move around the world, instead of talking to NPC's, constantly looking at the map to figure out where to go, finding any collectibles, stare at any UI, or doing anything that could interrupt the experience, the game instead allows you to fully take in the world leaving you both immersed and relaxed as you're riding around. Finally, due to the emptiness of the world, it gives off a sense of mystery that you want to explore to see what you could discover which is exactly what led it becoming a cult classic. Looking at gameplay footage on the PS2 version, I could tell the game pushed that console to it's very limits with it looks surprisingly good nowadays, but the PS4 version is something short of beautiful with how it's so detailed while also keeping the original atmosphere. I came into this game expecting nothing from the soundtrack and on the surface, I wasn't really blown away by it initially as I was taking on one of the colossi, but then as I took it down, instead of heroic and congratulating music, the music gave off a sense of sadness and horrible feelings instead making me feel like I did something wrong hinting of the bigger picture in the future that something was wrong. Speaking of which, the story starts off so simplistic but leads to something bigger at the end and leaves you wondering so much and the fact that not much is said benefits the story since it leaves asking so much stuff even by the time you reach the end credits. Finally, the bosses are easily the biggest highlight of the game since you have 2 weapons and don't improve much aside from health and stamina hence making you feel so weak compared to the colossi meaning you can't just rush in and just go wild with them since that's nothing short of suicide, the colossi are instead an inverted dungeon in a way since you have to use your environment to figure out how to kill them and it's always satisfying to figure out how to kill them, the designs are PHENOMENAL, and when they kill you, the game over screen showing each individual colossi feels like a person's nightmare enhancing the creepiness of the game. Now as much as I loved this game, there were a few but big problems that did mess up my time with the game. Firstly, the camera is a bit clunky and can be a problem if the colossi's limbs get in the way. It wasn't necessarily that hard meaning the speedrun trophy was way too easy. Finally, what ruins it for me is that some of the colossi are pretty unbalanced especially the 11th colossi soft-locking me and left me infuriated instead of frustrated. Overall, this game was absolutely amazing and I can't thank Sony for keeping the game alive with this remake and can't wait to see how this IP will move forward (or honestly, if it's not going to, its fine enough)… Expand

    La dificultad/duración depende de varios factores, de los cuales dependes tu como usuario, no te dan facilidades que en otros juegos si que te las dan, en este juego tendrás que pensar un poco, pero tampoco lo considero extremadamente difícil (no lo he jugado en modo difícil)

    Es curiosa la manera en la que este juego cuenta la historia, ya la descubrirás si decides jugar a este juego, cosa que te recomiendo, es un juego cortito, es diferente a otros juegos, creo que es algo que deberías al menos probar.    … Expand

Horse sometimes not responding, no check point while exploring map... when you died while exploring, whatever you already manually save your progress or not, you'll respawn to the beginning place and you have to re-explore it again.
    And the final boss's difficult is really too far to compare to the other bosses.

    A beautiful, lonely, wonderful game that is ultimately held back by abysmal controls and camera. I started this game immediately enthralled.

I started this game immediately enthralled. Even the empty world has a sense of foreboding solitude that feels bold instead of lazy. The setup feels like an incredible start to a hero's journey. However, the controls make this game nearly unplayable. I've been playing games for most of my life and I'm very competent at them. I could not make heads or tails of the control scheme from very early on. There would be bizarre camera movements just trying to find the next colossus or incredibly broken animations when trying to do the most basic of attacks.

    When I rolled for the first time, I literally laughed out loud due to how silly the animation looks. Your character literally throws his shoulder into the ground and awkwardly ragdolls back into position. I actually told my wife to look at the screen because of how silly it was. I would be lying if I said this game wasn't anything special--there is absolutely a sense of real magic to it. But I also can't in good conscience recommend anyone spend money (or perhaps valuable time) on a game like this as it currently stands. I don't think an update is coming five years later. But it is an absolute shame that such a widely acclaimed "masterpiece" feels nearly as clunky as QWOP or Getting Over It.    … Expand

    The atmosphere and visuality are really good but the gameplay is a real struggle. You don't just fight with the giants. You also fight with the camera and gameplay. I would never think riding horse to be this hard. I closed the game after 2-3 hours playing, the gameplay was irritating.

    After hearing how unique and special this game is for years now, I finally decided to play it.
    The story in Shadow of the Colossus is slightly ambiguous, but the vast, empty environments and the melancholic atmosphere make up for the story's ambiguity. Overall, it's a surprisingly decent story even if it's absent for the most part.
    Unlike the story though, the gameplay is very basic, even though it's oddly enjoyable and satisfying.
    The Colossi are absolutely spectacular; they're undoubtedly the highlight of the game, alongside the immense scale of the game and its gorgeous environments.
    Also, the music is really good and the audio design is fantastic.
    However, even though the gameplay is interesting, the repetitious nature of the gameplay loop gets slightly boring after a while, and the controls, camera and handling are so clumsy and bad in some instances, they make the game almost unplayable at times, ruining the entire experience, and that's very unfortunate.

    Pros:
    + Serviceable narrative
    + Exciting albeit basic gameplay
    + Immense scale
    + Stunning visuals
    + Great music

    Cons:
    - Tiring gameplay loop
    - Very awkward controls, camera & handling

    Narrative: 6/10
    Gameplay: 4/10
    Music: 8/10
    Graphics/Audio: 9/10

    Final Rating: 6.5/10

    Shadow of the Colossus looks like a PS4 game, however, it still plays like a PS2 game, unfortunately.
    Regardless, it's a very unique and special experience even to this day... I just expected something more from a high quality modern Remake.

    I was honestly very excited to try it. I had already experienced Sony's storytelling on its more modern kins in the likes of The Last of Us or Horizon: Zero Dawn. I was, however, cautious, as I knew this was essentially still a PS2 game.

    Still through those lenses, I cannot say it's a good game. The controllers (supposedly improved) feel bad, camera is awful, the bosses, while being the best part, were only fun until I figured out how to get on them. I get that it's a game that it's supposed to make you feel sad and guilty, but the only time it managed to do it was nearly the end, and I would call that time just plainly cheating.

    I cannot help to compare to other games from that generation like Zelda: Wind Waker on the GameCube, the first two Yakuza games on PS2, or even Phantom Dust in the original Xbox, that managed to be better than Shadow of the Colossus on, essentially, every single aspect.    … Expand

    Stunning visuals, great story, I can see why someone would love this game in the ps2 era but the gameplay hasn't aged all that well, the controls are abysmal and the gameplay at its core requires a lot of patience.

    IS IT A REMAKE, ISN'T IT?

    BEFORE WE BEGIN: I would like to write this review starting from the fact that I have played ICO but not the original Shadow of the Colossus for ps2. In addition, I have played the game for about fifteen hours and got the platinum. IMMERSION: The game starts in a desolate land in which we and our horse are the protagonists and soon we realize that very few    IS IT A REMAKE, ISN'T IT?

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    I would like to write this review starting from the fact that I have played ICO but not the original Shadow of the Colossus for ps2. In addition, I have played the game for about fifteen hours and got the platinum.

    IMMERSION:
    The game starts in a desolate land in which we and our horse are the protagonists and soon we realize that very few other life forms are present;
    We are immediately given our mission: defeat all the colossus, useful to achieve a certain end, easily guessed from the first minutes of the game.

    TO THE EYE:
    The real strength of this game is the art direction. It has really been taken seriously, referring with magnificent glimpses to real existing works of art and natural places. Every second spent galloping through these lands makes the player feel more and more insignificant compared to the giant mountains, grasslands and pits. If we want to put a point on the graphics, it is nothing extraordinary and we often run into buggy shadows and lights.

    TO THE EAR:
    Shadow of the Colossus certainly offers several noteworthy soundtracks, but unfortunately it does not boast a satisfying variety and we will often find ourselves listening to the same ost over and over again.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Also in this aspect, unfortunately, the game does not offer much variety and the things to do can be counted on the fingers of one hand; apart from the obvious colossus hunting we can try our hand at so-called time attacks, that is, a trivial time trial against the colossus; we can immerse ourselves in the memories of the protagonist, making us fight the same colossus again; we can hunt for lizards and fruits to increase our survive ability and finally it is possible to try our hand at playing the game's higher difficulties.

    ACHIEVEMENTS:
    Fortunately, in the remake version of the game, the trophies have been changed and now getting the platinum is no longer an adventure that requires hundreds of hours; apart from finishing the game in speedrun and without ever dying, the only stubborn challenge is to complete the time attacks in normal and hard, given the clunkiness of the gameplay.

    BUT WHY 5?

    CONS:
    The answer is easy, this is the third edition of this game, it is supposed to be a remake but, apart from the mere aesthetic and obvious render side of the game, it has a whole host of problems that, for a 2018 game, should not exist. Starting with the obvious horse mechanics, which are really clunky, slow and stupidly poorly programmed, which more than once will get us stuck on some rock or have us flog our horse in a fury of triangle spamming, the game itself is really clunky, even in the combat phases, the main mechanic of the game; there are countless times where we will see our character get stuck in walls, in colossus, fly away for no reason, die in outrageous ways and so on. Let's not even mention the AI of enemies that very often leaves something to be desired. (Don't get me wrong, the original game the 9 deserves it all).
    Most of the times you will be fighting with the camera clipping into walls and colossus instead of fighting them.
    Finally, the story is really trivial and forgettable and it probably has fewer dialogue lines than this review!

    PROS:
    Not to repeat myself, the good parts are obviously the music and these damn gorgeous landscapes! Man how beautiful it is.

    Wasn’t going to write a review for this but never in my entire life have I seen an audience get something all so very very wrong. What am I reading and seeing here? Never have I been more disappointed in humanity than I am right now seeing all those red reviews.

What am I reading and seeing here? Never have I been more disappointed in humanity than I am right now seeing all those red reviews.

    This is the greatest damn video game ever crafted with haunting themes of loss and despair. I think many people just do not have the deep sensitivity required in order to truly appreciate the power and haunting beauty of this game. I almost do not even want to call it a game. It’s beyond that when something is able to make you feel so deeply. I cried in the end…most of these people will never be able to possess the ability to feel what the character in this game is feeling. The desire, the determination that no matter what the cost….he’d do anything necessary to bring the love of his life back from the dead.

    I will say this…the critics here are the correct ones. And thank the heavens for that. If I listened to all the idiots here I’d miss out on the greatest cinematic masterpiece I have ever experienced. And I’ve platinumed this game. I’ve spent 120 hours on it according to my ps5. It’s my most beloved and cherished video game of all time. I bought two physical special editions of the game. One for myself and my brother. This is how much this video game means to me.

    The critics didn’t review this game for the average moron that’s out there. Of course they knew most people wouldn’t understand this masterpiece. This game is made for people such as myself who admire the finer things life has to offer. Someone that smells the roses while going for walks. Admires beautiful sunsets. Listens to the birds as they fly over cascading waterfalls…..the critics reviewed this game based on what Fumito Ueda envisioned this game to be. The loneliness, the despair, the way the horse handles….every little damn detail in this game is exactly how it was intended to be. It’s not supposed to be easy to climb those colossal beasts…it’s supposed to be an agonizing task in which when you succeed you feel as if you have conquered the world.

    I’m glad the critics see this game for what it truly is. Shame on all those bad reviews but I’ve always knew this to be true. Most people on this planet are not exactly spiritual and introspective people.
    It’d be like trying to show someone with a bery corrupt mentality and view of nature why the waterfall is so beautiful and they’ll just say…but it’s just a waterfall. You either see it or you don’t. You either believe it or you don’t. I for one, am happy to say that I see what the critics see. People are going to talk to me about awful controls? Seriously? The horse controls as if I’m actually riding an actual horse. It feels like he is a separate entity to the main character and feels like it has a mind of its own. You really have to command him to stop. The horse honestly controls itself and moves freely through the corridors without much need for player control. People are just clueless or upset that this game was praised so much and rightfully so. I had no problems navigating through the game but then again this game is my cup of tea…I hate shooters and nonsensical stupid games. I like contemplative experiences like this where you just navigate through the environment without anyone holding your hand.

    This is perhaps the most misunderstood product of all time. People are just not used to this kind of game and are gonna bash something they don’t like because it’s not their conventional Zelda like game.

    This game is REAL. The creator wanted you to feel every breath of wind and every blade of grass. He wanted you to be in the footsteps of wander and boy, the final 10 minutes are some of the most emotional moments I have ever witness in a gamer.    … Expand

    + Climbing colossi feels dangerous and Wander clings to his life with bare hands until his stamina runs out.

    + The music is still epic. The soundtrack didn't age a bit.

    Cons:
    - With the new game engine, the game looks much more generic than the original. I feel that the game lost some of its abstract geometric poetry with this new rendering. Also, the grass popup distracts more than it should.
    - At its core, this is a puzzle game. So at certain points I was annoyed. Especially, when the new hd rendering made finding interactive spots harder. In my teenage years I was much more forgiving for this kind of stuff.    … Expand

    Hay dos formas de ver este juego y por las dos merece la pena jugarlo. Si no lo has jugado nunca, hazlo, es un juegazo. Si ya lo has jugado, merece la pena ver el trabajo que han hecho en este remake sobre todo por la belleza del diseño de producción del título. Con los medios técnicos mejorados, este juego luce de escándalo y se lo merece.

    Si ya lo has jugado ya lo sabrás, si no lo has jugado solo decir que Shadow of the colossus es un bosh rush. No hay más enemigos a los que enfrentarse que los 16 enormes colosos que son tu misión y leit motiv de la historia del juego. Te encontrarás en un mapa relativamente grande (lo era en tiempos de PS2) donde puedes explorar por donde quieras. De hecho se han añadido pequeñas recompensas a la exploración, cosa que en el título antiguo no había más allá de mejorar la resistencia y la barra de vida. Donde debes encontrar y matar a cada uno de los colosos para poder devolver la vida a tu amada. Cada coloso es un puzzle distinto, hay que descubrir sus puntos débiles y averiguar cómo explotarlos para acabar con su vida y liberar su esencia. Los combates son cada uno diferente y dependerás únicamente de tu sesera, un arco y una espada encantada que siempre, con ayuda de la luz del sol, te enseñará donde se encuentran tus objetivos.

    Poco más de decir. Uno de los mejores juegos de la generación de PS2 recuperado y rescatado para la generación pasada y actual. Una delicia por su historia, por su diseño y por lo atrevido del concepto. Es un must play de manual.    … Expand

    Só acho o jogo curto, pois originalmente tinham 24 colossus porém 9 deles foram excluídos por pressão da Sony no Ps2, mas a Bluepoint poderia adicioná-los nem que seja por DLC paga, mas poderiam ter pego essa oportunidade, pois muitos fãs queria lutar contra esses colossus.
    Além da cara do protagonista que está meio estranha, ele é sem emoção mesmo em uma batalha contra os colossus, onde no Ps2 ele ficava com o rosto assustado, enquanto na nova versão ele é totalmente neutro mesmo em situações de risco.
    Mas tirando isso, o jogo é muito bom e é extremamente recomendado, se tiver a oportunidade de jogar essa versão ou a versão antiga então JOGUE! Ele mudou minha percepção de jogos e acho que esse é o jogo favorito de diversas pessoas.    … Expand

    The game has a certain charm to it because of the art style and the somewhat intriguing breadcrumbs of lore the game sparingly gives you.
    Gameplay on the other hand is ATROCIOUS, Clunky, frustrating and all around HORRIBLE!
    I do not recommend it under any circumstances unless you can handle the tedious unresponsive gameplay.

    Dieses Spiel ist einfach groß und episch, eine offene Welt, die diese Riesen im Land jagt und dann massive Versatzstücke hat. Einige der Kolosse waren irgendwie lahm wie der kleine Bulle, aber die meisten von ihnen sind einfach nur episch.

    One of the best games ever, I love that with my entire heart! The gameplay is very good and hard, and the exploration is awesome.

    Game has a great feeling, music is amazing. This could be such a great hit but the camera work ruins otherwise perfect experience.

    This game is simply a spectacle. You go around killing giant creatures to sate a god who can save your friend. The movement is super janky though.

    The camera control in this game is so disgusting. The plot is very little but quite interesting.

    This game feels like a fantasy poetry. The way how the game combines beautifulness and sadness is just incredible. The story and especially the opening scene is one of the best of all games in history. Truly a very rare master piece in its own class.

    Practically a 1:1 copy of the original in a fresh sheen. BluePoint's remake magic could never get a better display.

    To cut straight to the chase, this game does have a very cinematic feel while having very little dialogue or character interaction. And honestly, that's a big part of the game's charm. That, and these large, beautiful environments it would be a dream to be able to visit. The dynamic of exploring a peaceful landscape and then trying to slay a mountainous creature does feel quite epic; Sort of a calm before the storm on repeat. Personally, I don't have a problem with the controls most of the time, and I do think this is a very engaging experience that's worth playing all the way through once (which can take 5-10 hours if you aren't trying to speed-run it). Personally, I recommend doing hard mode right away as it just simply adds more weak points and lowers your attack power, so you may need to apply more strategies that you wouldn't in normal mode.

    Overall, each of these colossi is a very distinct, and mostly well-done boss fight. While they all require stabbing weak points repeatedly while holding on, trying to anticipate the next major movement that may attempt to shake you off like a flee on a dog, actually reaching these points requires unique strategies to be able to reach. To top off the praise for this game, the orchestral music is very fitting, and the ending gave me some feels in a very unique and memorable way.

    Now the downsides... There are definitely some major downsides that make this game occasionally very frustrating, particularly if you're trying to play it in Time Attack on Hard mode, which reveals the singular overarching issue here: This game is better at being an interactive experience rather than a traditional game. The difficulty curve is generally okay, but there're a handful of bosses that are just frustrating to try to manipulate properly, VERY SPECIFICALLY: #9 (where you need to make a hot spring hit its belly), #4 (where you need to bait a giant horse to lower it's head), and #12, because I just watched this guy go all the way to the opposite end of the map while I was firing arrows at him, like wtf... Also #10 requires shooting arrows while riding away from it, which isn't very intuitive since I can easily run into a pillar without realizing it's there (I do still think it's fun despite this). Aside from those handful of errors, I generally enjoy finagling my way through these, it just gets VERY frustrating when it doesn't want to work with you in Time Attack.

    To top off the negative aspects of this game, they really should just call the main character Stumble instead of Wander, considering how the slightest movements can make him fall over (which cuts into grip regen time). Momentum manipulation can lead to some interesting speed-run tactics, but there're a good few times where I really don't think my character should've gone the way they did. Plus, there aren't really enough grip points in the normal map. And lastly, I actually think being able to press a button to focus the camera on either the colossus or your horse Agro is exactly the way the camera should function, BUT sometimes it just gets caught in inconvenient locations, like: In #12, while I'm trying to get on top of it's head, half the time the camera gets stuck on its shoulder and I can't actually tell if I'm at the right angle to pull myself up. Still, it's nowhere near as bad as Super Mario 64, and people love that game.

    Most of these issues may seem big, but they're ultimately minor in that they don't actually break the game or totally ruin the gameplay experience. This is still strongly recommended for anyone still interested after reading this. I would not recommend this to someone who's only interested in action-heavy, grindy games, though.    … Expand

    The best PS2 game gains a remake, which is really beautiful. The Blue Point doesn't adds much new content and the physics, which is a shame. But its SotC one of the best of all time , enough said.

    This isn't much to say about this other than it has improved on the original visually in a massive way. The cut-scenes are more solid and cinematic, the world has been brushed with more detail and the sound jumps right out from start to finish. All this around the same game-play that everyone loved about the first game. This here is a true remaster in ever sense of the word.

    Perfectly polished and improved cult game – even with better controls! Killing giant monsters has never been so much (melancholic) fun. [Issue#283]

    A tribute to the Fumito Ueda will delight the veterans of the original game same as introduce this classic to the newcomers, who are not tuned on a nostalgic note. An ideal opportunity to improve your video game education and a wonderful experience in the same time. Some clumsy controls and occasionally stubborn camera can’t ruin the great experience.

    It’s a good remaster, but frankly I find it unnecessary. Those who have already played the game on PS2 or PS3 will find nothing new here, and those who didn’t have the chance to get acquainted with it probably will not understand what we saw in Shadow of the Colossus 12 years ago, when gaming reality was completely different.
