    This game is a masterpiece. SImple. Everything is amazing about it, the story, the colossi, the characters, the gameplay. Though the camera is bad and the controls are questionable. And the physics aspect of the game makes climbing the colossi very wonky and frankly more unrealistic. But i will still give this piece of art a 10/10. Would give it 100/10 if i could.

    A game is, in most cases, a way of entertainment. Specifically, fun. Yet Shadow of the Colossus, in many ways, isn’t fun. The collosi can be frustrating puzzles, the story is anything but funny, and the controls are absolutely garbage. Yet Shadow of the Collosus may very well be the greatest game ever made.

The collosi can be frustrating puzzles, the story is anything but funny, and the controls are absolutely garbage. Yet Shadow of the Collosus may very well be the greatest game ever made. The game is proof that games can be artwork, and a testament to the times when developers put more care into there games in trying to make something special rather than another hit free to play game. The game creates a perfect cycle of working with the story, and then using the time between Collosi to reflect on the tiny details the game gives you about its story, then relieving the boredom with a new collosus. Not only this, but the game has, in my opinion, the best ending in all of video game history. I would say more, but this game should be played with very, very, VERY little beforehand knowledge. It is Worth every cent.

    "Shadow Of The Colossus" es un videojuego original de 2005 creado por el Japonés Fumito Ueda, todo un artista, creador de "ICO" (2001) y de "The Last Guardian" (2016). En 2018 este juego se adaptó a la PS4 con cambios brutales respecto a la versión de PS2 y PS3. Mejoras gráficas enormes, texturas en 4k, animaciones nuevas... casi un juego nuevo salvo por la trama principal.

Mejoras gráficas enormes, texturas en 4k, animaciones nuevas... casi un juego nuevo salvo por la trama principal.
    La narrativa es clásica, sencilla y al mismo tiempo profunda. Wander es nuestro protagonista, una especie de príncipe de un mundo desconocido, el cual viaja a salvar a su amada, que al parecer ha fallecido víctima de un encantamiento o algo similar. Así es como la trama sucede en un mundo fantástico, de ficción, cuya característica principal en mi opinión es la soledad, pues los "únicos" seres de ese mundo son Wander y su yegua, la cual le acompañará en "toda" su aventura. El objetivo de Wander es derrotar a 16 colosos de piedra, todos diferentes unos de otros y tendremos que recurrir al ingenio o a YouTube (xd) para conseguir derrotarlos y así devolver la vida a la amada del protagonista, eso sí, a cambio de un precio muy alto.
    El juego en sí en mi opinión es una obra de arte en pantalla, los paisajes, los detalles intrincados de los colosos, el cambio entre la paz y tranquilidad y el enfrentamiento; sencillamente fabuloso.
    La banda sonora es también espectacular, perfecta para escucharla en un momento de relax.
    Es un juego aparentemente sencillo con una profundidad inimaginable, divertido e ingenioso, bonito de ver y jugar.    … Expand

Only negatives I had with the game were the camera and the lack of story in between every colossal defeat. I question wether the camera was made with the intent for the player to have to fight it as an extra challenge or it was an artistic choice. Either way, I felt it was an unnecessary headache to deal with that would of been better if we had a choice with a different camera, one less combative.

    + Climbing colossi feels dangerous and Wander clings to his life with bare hands until his stamina runs out.
    + Exploring open world feels very much like a real-life hiking trip. The game has no filler activities of the modern open-world games. It could look empty to some, but I actually enjoyed it. Quite refreshing after Assassin's Creed series.
    + 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

    A fantastic remake of a timeless classic. However the controls and handling were a lot to deal with, messing up some of my boss fights from time to time. A definite must-play but also be warned that the mechanics are VERY outdated and hard to get used to after playing streamlined newer games.

    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

    The game is nothing less than a cornerstone of gaming exploration and atmospheric storytelling, but for some unfathomable reason, Bluepoint (which is usually... on point) missed the chance to consolidate it as an absolute masterpiece on current-gen by not modernising enough camera and controls.

    However, when it comes to the gameplay it remains simple and it serves well the idea of ​​playing with a weak character in the face of its challenges, as the controversial camera continues to have a lot of difficulty in showing the combat against colossal beings without being impossible to understand what is happening sometimes.

    Going straight to the point, there weren't any major mechanical advances in this new version of the game however if you're a fan of the original it won't matter, as what makes Shadow of the colossus unique is its incredible narrative that guides you through its contemplative scenarios and memorable songs in unique combats where the combination of these elements makes each event unique.

    If you are an old fan of the franchise this game is mandatory, however if this is your first experience, I recommend caution do not expect a big open world with thousands of side quests or something like that, but a remarkable narrative experience where not everything will be played in your face in cutscene.    … Expand

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

But there are certainly some minor things that for some can kill their enjoyment of the game the biggest thing being the controls. I wouldn't say there bad but they do feel old which makes sense seeing as the game was originally on the PS2. The controls take some time to get use to but again I wouldn't call them bad except maybe the horse which was annoying to control the whole way through. What the game gets right is pretty much everything else though. The visuals on the PS4 are just breath taking when you first experience them. And the boss fights are mostly pretty good. It's like trying to solve a puzzle while also fighting a boss and I love that. Most of the Colossus are great other then maybe 2 of them who were fairly similar to each other. And the finale colossus was a little disappointing if I'm being honest. Along with all that the music is top notch and the story is interesting but also goes on the backburner for most of the game. Most of the plot happens at the beginning and the end of the game with little happening in between you slaying colossus. Which works for what the game is and also helps with the twist that happens by the end. In conclusion Shadow of the Colossus is certainly a unique game and I think that it's a game you should at least try to play once so long as you can deal with some weird controls.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soy incapaz de expresar con palabras lo que pudo y sigue significando esta obra para la historia del videojuego, ante nosotros tenemos con todas sus palabras una obra maestra audiovisual. Fumito Ueda lleva el minimalismo hasta sus puntos más altos para contarnos la historia de una vasta tierra maldita habitada por colosos, en la que único guerrero debe derrotarlos a todos para resucitar a su querida amada, Mono.
    Es curioso como su estructura narrativa está construida sobre ''el viaje del héroe'', la más extrimida de las aventuras, sin embargo Ueda es capaz de darle su matiz innovador incluyendo acontecimientos que dan una vuelta de tuerca a la situación, tales como: Los colossos, ese vásto mundo con un silencio sepulcral y colosales praderas, el conflicto entre el amor o el egoísmo de Wander. Sin duda, Kow Otani ha clavado la ambientación y la situación con su banda sonora, ya que mezcla ese heroismo del protagonista con su tono de remordimiento, en el que se pregunta así mismo, ¿Qué he hecho?, ¿Estoy siendo el héroe que rescata a la chica o el destructor de una tierra sagrada?.
    Shadow of the Colossus es un juego que rompe el canon del viaje del héroe, y termina destruyendolo por culpa de su egoísmo e insensatez a pesar de al fin haber salvado a Mono, porque como ya le había dicho Dormin ( la deidad, o deidades que habitan esa tierra maldita): ''El precio a pagar puede ser muy alto''.
    Es cierto que su mecánica de jefes puede llegar a ser ''repetitiva'', ya que se construye en base al esquema de ''derroto a un jefe y voy a por el siguiente'', sin embargo, cada colosso tiene su propio escenario, sus propias mecánicas y supone un desafío mayor que el anterior. Puede que desde la perspectiva del jugador, tu siempre tengas las mismas habilidades pero los colossos siempre las están cambiando y eso hace que sea mucho más dinámico, porque no es solo el hecho de que cada colosso tenga su propia forma de defenderse, sino que son muchos los aspectos que influyen en esa contrarepetición, ya sea la propia banda sonora, las interacciones con el entorno que debes hacer tú como jugador, si necesitas la ayuda de Agro o no, etc. Al fin y al cabo, el propio recorrido que haces hasta cada jefe ya es de por sí una aventura, porque Ueda te está enseñando en mundo que el ha creado y quiere que contemples su belleza y su serenidad, ya que conforme vas avanzando sabes que llegarás a un punto en el que tendrás que derrotar a otro coloso pero será un enfrentamiento completamente distinto y mucho más intenso que el anterior. Es así como se logra una ruptura del sistema canónico de jefes.
    Mis mayores respetos tanto a Fumito Ueda como a su compositor, Kow Otani. Juego de culto que debería ser alabado durante generaciones.
    Gracias, por creer en la innovación y en el juego de autor.    … Expand

It really shows how much effort they put into making each fight unique and fun. Unfortunately, that's pretty much it... Traveling through the world is boring and there's no other fun stuff to do besides beating the colossi. Controls are clunky, but since it's a remake of a PS2 game I won't be too harsh about it, although maybe they should've done something about it.
    The only positive aspect about this game is fighting the colossi, the rest is pretty boring and the story barely adds anything to it.    … Expand

    Shadow of the Colossus is an action-adventure game that plays more like a puzzle boss fighter. This story is about Wander and his horse Agro on their journey to save a girl named Mono. In his attempt to revive her, Wander makes a deal with the entity named Dormin to slay all sixteen colossi in the forbidden land. By defeating each Colossi, Wander gets one step closer to completing theShadow of the Colossus is an action-adventure game that plays more like a puzzle boss fighter. This story is about Wander and his horse Agro on their journey to save a girl named Mono. In his attempt to revive her, Wander makes a deal with the entity named Dormin to slay all sixteen colossi in the forbidden land. By defeating each Colossi, Wander gets one step closer to completing the ritual which will allow for the resurrection of Mono. With almost no more information than this, Wander is thrust out into the forbidden land on his hunt for the first Colossus armed only with his horse, bow, and sword.
    I played Shadow of the Colossus months ago for the first time but wanted to revisit it as for the month of March it is free to download with a PS Plus membership. I never played the original on PS2, so I did not have any nostalgia to influence my playthrough. Before I get into more detail, I want to say that this is an amazing game that you should try out while it is free, but it will not for everyone.
    Shadow of the Colossus blew me away with how beautiful the landscape is despite its loneliness. Unlike most action-adventures, there are no towns, dungeons, or really anything to explore. Despite this, I was enthralled just riding Agro around seeing the different environments and the imposing Colossi from a distance. Although I would have liked more story and a more filled world, the reality is that the emptiness of it all adds to the mystery and loneliness of Wander’s seemingly insurmountable task. The colossi he faces range from humanoid to animalistic features from air, land, and sea. One common thing they share is that they are all massive compared to Wander. I view this as more of a puzzle game as the main gameplay loop is to figure out how to climb on to these Colossi made of stone and rock. After climbing to certain locations, Wander can attack critical points that are made of organic matter until eventually landing the final blow on the head of each colossi. Simple enough concept, but each Colossus offers a different challenge of attack patterns, and puzzle of how to climb to their weak points. These fights are magnificent in scale and further show the beauty of the artistic design of the game. Shadow of the Colossus also offers a photo mode which easily allows for some great wallpaper for any images you take of the environments and colossi. To further add to the ambience of the game, the fully orchestrated soundtrack pairs perfectly with the tone of each environment and colossus fight. I have been listening to the soundtrack again while writing this, and highly recommend you go and take a listen even if you don’t play the game.
    This title is definitely worthy of its praise as one of the best PlayStation games ever created, but it does have its flaws. The camera angles can get a bit hard to manage during some boss fights and the controls are not the best compared to modern titles. The lack of a filled world adds to the overall mood of the game, but I really disliked having such a minimalistic story. With this remaster it would have been a great addition to add short cutscenes or unlockable lore for each colossi to understand them more. Finally, although I enjoyed the main gameplay loop the reality is this game will not be fun for many people. Once the method of climbing onto a colossus is discovered, the game is really just a climbing simulator while avoiding being shaken off. There is a thrill in discovering the pattern while avoiding attacks from a colossus, but then it just becomes monotonous climbing. Because of this, I highly recommend this title to those that love their games to be an artistic experience like Journey and say to those who aren’t to just give it a try. Not much to lose out on this title can be gotten for free this month. Shadow of the Colossus may not hit my top ten of all time as it will for others, but I give this amazing display of art an 85/100.    … Expand

    First of all, I really, really wanted to like this game. I've heard tons of great stuff, and a metacritic of 91 set high expectations.
    Also, some other things to know before reading on:
    - I've never played the original. I have no nostalgic feelings or memories about the game. Prior to playing it, I've only heard the greatest of things about it. - If you like the game, that's awesome.    First of all, I really, really wanted to like this game.

    Also, some other things to know before reading on:
    - I've never played the original. I have no nostalgic feelings or memories about the game. Prior to playing it, I've only heard the greatest of things about it.
    - If you like the game, that's awesome. This is not meant as an attack towards people who enjoy the game. As long as games draw people in, I'm happy. No matter if I myself don't enjoy something. There are simply some aspects that ruined the experience for me

    So let's begin with my thoughts on the game.

    The Good:

    - Graphics. Obviously. I'm not sure if I've ever played a game that looked better. Maybe Red Dead Redemption 2. SotC is definitely a very pretty game.

    - Music. I wouldn't call the score a masterpiece, but it's somewhere between "very good" and "awesome" for me. I'll definitely listen to it some more in my own time.

    The Meh:

    - Story. Many people praise it to heights not achievable by anything else it seems. But to me, the (very, very small) bits of story did not really hit the mark. It's certainly not bad, but considering the bias I got by listening to other opinions, I was quite disappointed. There is a (kinda) clever twist, but I felt like it was too little too late to move me. The whole premise also isn't that great over all. There is MUCH better stuff out there that doesn't get nearly as much attention or praise. I can still see why people like it, though

    The Bad:

    - Controls. I'm NOT talking about the control-scheme (or button-mapping). This is about how using the controller translates to what's happening on screen. I get that the protagonist is supposed to be very young and inexperienced, but from a gameplay-perspective unresponsiveness and clunk (at least to that extent) are not justified by that.

    - Horse riding. Pretty much the worst riding controls I've ever come across. Tank controls in general are great (again, not about button-mapping) but the horse simply doesn't react to half my inputs. It slows down when I want to accelerate. It randomly takes a 90°-turn in an open field without me even touching the controller. It's unable to go faster than 2 km/h in forests (except in the very center of the "road"). Walking was often faster. In a game that is literally 50% riding, this can become a deal-breaker very quickly. Sure, a horse can have its own will, but this completely destroys any emotional connection with the horse I could have otherwise built.

    - Camera. Straight up the worst in the biz. Never have I experienced an ingame-camera even half that stubborn. Hell, most N64 games probably do better. The camera always tries to move to a "cinematic" point of view. That's generally not bad. Riding across a huge meadow can look stunning; having it zoom out while climbing a colossus breathtaking. But 99% of the time, it's just annoying. Even when trying to adjust it manually, the camera fights you. It always pans to a more impractical position. It doesn't help that the direction of climbing (on fur, for example) depends on how the camera is positioned. If it's turning all the time - which it often does when mounting a colossus, without the player getting much control over it - the left stick will have to be yanked in different directions countless times, just to move in ONE direction.
    I could rant on, but I think the point came across.

    Overall the experience could be described as this: I was not fighting the Colossi. I was killing them, but only through fighting the controls and the camera. I simply don't see that as justified for a modern game. Even a remaster such as this should have adjustments. Maybe even a toggle to switch between old and new controls/camera?

    Finally, if the problems were the same in the original, I see how people call this a great remaster (I guess). So if you've loved the original despite the controls, by all means play this remaster. It's just that in this day and age, there is no way I can recommend it on its own.    … Expand

One of the most beautiful games available on the PS4, SoTC competes toe to toe with major AAA titles like Uncharted 4 and Horizon in terms of art direction. The journey to each colossus through desolate lands was also pretty relaxing for me. Call me a weirdo but casually running through beautiful meadows under the sun searching through various ruins to find a colossus was a really great experience for me.

    The USP of the game though, has to be its music. The loud, triumphant tunes that play when you're trying to cling on desperately to a colossus, or the sad, almost mocking tune whenever you kill them, it all adds to the atmosphere.

    Not having played the previous iterations on the PS2 and PS3, this remake was my first introduction to this game. I went in expecting a heartfelt story and some truly epic moments based on the impression i garnered from the internet and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. This game doesn't throw a plethora of dialogue and cutscenes at you to tell it's story. It conveys it through its gameplay and subtle hints hidden throughout the game. The story was short and open-ended yet the ending really blew my mind.

    If there's one thing I have to complain about, it's the wonky controls. Although, i've grown up playing PS2 and PS3 games so they weren't much of a problem to me. IMO SoTC is a game everyone should give a try at least once. It might not be for everyone, but for me it's one the best games i've played and it will always hold a special place in my heart and memory. Sometimes it's nice to just appreciate the smaller things in life :)    … Expand

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.

    I tried hard on this one, but the camera was just infuriating! I defeated the first time and then gave up, climbing walls looking for monsters and the ever nauseating camera made my head hurt! Just my opinion though, if so many people liked it maybe it is great, but didn’t work for me!

    I tried and wanted to love this game but I just could not. I found the horse controls to be awkward and the open world so empty and not in a good way; it made the backtracking just tedious. It's still a good game, interesting story and great visuals, but the backtracking, odd controls and weird pacing made me felt it was just ok and not the masterpiece it is quite often called.

Music is occasional and it's hard to compare it to such great boss games like dark souls. Open world while really beautiful it's empty and lifeless. Game is really good but only at the beginning when you are fighting first colossus but further on game is just boring, frustrating and pointless.… Expand

    Ever since i heard shadow of The colossus was getting a remake i was overjoyed. I couldn't be happier that this remake happened.The graphics, sound, everything has been remade running on a brand new game engine entirely. But the camera and controls was the worst thing have i see in a video game.

    Shadow of the Colossus proves that videogames can be art too.
    I've played the og back in the day and it was one of the best experiences I've had in my life.
    This games is the same thing but fixes (almost) all the problems that the original had.

    This game being ported over to newer hardware unfortunately sheds light on the fact that the control scheme and camera have not aged well at all. It feels incredibly clunky, and not up to standard to modern games. However, if you look past this large issue, the game at its core is still one of the most incredible games I've ever completed.

Bluepoint Games put a lot of effort in reworking Shadow Of The Colossus, and even if you are like me and have never played the original PS2 title, the amount of passion put into this game is fantastic to see in a game. The frustrating controls made finally overcoming a colossus even more satisfying, for me at least. The soundtrack is quite frankly one of the best I've ever heard. The music can be somber and melancholic, or large and bombastic, and it adds so much to the experience. The plot is incredibly straightforward, but the mysteries and hidden treasures buried underneath it made me feel a way that not many other games have ever made me felt. It may not be quite up to quality to other games, but the legacy it made lead to bigger and better games like Breath Of The Wild, and for that reason I believe this game deserves a 9 out of 10.… Expand

    It's a monster-hunter-like game.
    This game is never an RPG game.
    You can't get weapons or equipment, you can't decorate your character.
    Nevertheless, what is popular is that it creates a spirit of challenge that constantly challenges people.
    The difficulty of this game is as difficult as dark soul or SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE.

    Sobre essa versão, os gráficos são ótimos, trilha sonora incrível (já era no original, não mudaram no remake), a jogabilidade é datada, mas não é horrível. derrotar os Colossos pela primeira vez, é bem gratificante, porque o jogador tem que descobrir como escalar e atingir os pontos fracos, você se sente fraco e impotente perto de um Colosso.

    É um jogo que realmente não é para todos os tipos de jogadores.. vai de cada um, de como a pessoa "sente o jogo". Por exemplo, cavalgar até chegar no Colosso, para muitos é tediante, porque o mundo é vazio, é uma solidão absurda. mas a proposta do jogo, é exatamente essa, passar essa sensação. O jogo não precisa preencher o mapa com missões secundárias ou inimigos, ele simplesmente tem sua proposta, que muitos amam (como eu) e outros nem tanto..

    O jogo pelo menos para mim, consegue passar sensações, mesmo que a história seja "simples", você fica imerso naquele mundo, fica curioso pra entender o que aconteceu antes e também depois que termina o jogo.. é uma experiencia bem bacana.    … Expand

    The game definelty isn't for everyone, and some will see it as repetetive or/and boring, but the effort that went into this game is insane, especially considering its originally a ps2 game, the remake improves on few flaws the original had, but unfortunately there are still some clunky and difficult controls in the game.

    Shadow of the Colossus is a masterpiece of gaming that should simply be played by everyone. Taking down stunning colossi one after the other, roaming the beautiful landscape, being overwhelmed by guilt, and seeing the tragic story unfold makes this game an absolute must play.

    O jogo é nostálgico, história bacana e tudo mais, mas a jogabilidade do game é terrível, deveriam ter arrumado isso, pra andar de cavalo é horrível e pra ele subir certo nos monstros e horrível, ele cai toda hora sem motivo, não acerta os pulos, o time do salta e da andada é muito ruim.

    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. Still im overall positive about this game although it is very likely that won't be coming back to it.

    An incredible game that manages to convey what he really is... a young man alone in a world where his opponents are bigger and stronger than you. The game is small, but you get so much into the game that it feels like the game is huge, and that's a very positive point.

    What was all ready my favorite game just built up to look excellent. Unlike other games it doesn’t shove enemies in your face to keep you interested but rather thinks of you as a smart player which is rare now a days. The gameplay is excellent, the story is simple but excellently crafted and the only complaint would be the camera angles, which is still improved from previous versions.

El mundo abiertoYa jugué en su día a la versión original en PS2 y me enamoró. Ahora, con su remasterización, me sigue gustando y se solucionan los problemas que tenía la versión de PS2 (framerate). Es un videojuego de acción-aventura donde manejamos a Wander y tendremos que viajar con nuestro caballo por un vasto territorio para derrotar a 16 colosos para resucitar a nuestra amada Mono. El mundo abierto que presenta, es un mundo vacío. No hay enemigos (salvo los colosos) y no hay pueblos con gente con la que interactuar. No hay nada. La misión es localizar al coloso, ir a la zona y vencerlo localizando sus puntos débiles. Evidentemente, cada coloso es diferente (pequeños, grandes, voladores, acuáticos...) y con sus debilidades. Tenemos la barra de resistencia que tiene un límite. Si no descansamos unos momentos de escalar o de sujetarnos a algo, nos caeremos. Por el mapa hay lagartos especiales que tenemos que cazar y comernos su cola para mejorar la barra de resistencia; además de fruta que crece en los árboles con las que aumentaremos nuestra salud. Para que los diferentes viajes no se hagan largos tenemos diferentes santuarios donde guardar la partida, además de que encontrarlos todos cuentan para el platino. UNo de los puntos más destacables del juego es su banda sonora, con unos temas musicales muy épicos mientras nos enfrentamos a los colosos. Un juego diferente y muy recomendable.… Expand

    My favourite game ever, the way it makes you feel the bad guy as you progress the game while actually having good intentions is paired with the awesome colossi fight.

    Some people complain about the controls of Agro but it's meant to be difficult to force an actual animal to make some things. Player controls were a little clunky on PS2 but the remake is amazing.

    ps2 시절 정말 재밌게 했던 게임이에요.
    ps4 로 다시 나온다고 했을때 너무 기뻤어요.
    막상 구매했을때는 실망을 좀 했어요.
    왜냐하면 조작감이....
    개선이 필요하다 생각됐지만 패치는 없었네요.
    그래서 8점을 주어요.
    순전히 조작감때문이에요.

    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.
