    Beautiful game, horrible mechanics and design-yes I know it's a remake. Prepare to redo the same thing dozens of times, over and over until you rage quit.

    The game is boring with an awful camera work and clumsy physics. Landscape is nice, though.

    Shadow of the colossus had an amazing soundtrack that accompanied when fighting bosses. The gameplay itself was fun and made you feel insignificant to the titans, what made this great is the ending that hits you out of nowhere.

    Довольно годный логический босс файт, который оставляет у тебя ощущение, что ты маленький, а и не так просто тебе то, убить что-то большое на самом деле.

    Boring game for my taste. The graphics are great, the environment beautiful, but the controls over the horse sucks, the camera control sucks and the Colossus are easy to kill. The hardest part is to find the Colossus. This game are for the people that like the explorer and contemplate the environment.

    I remember having a ton of great time with this game on PS2 and this remake certainly improved the original, the modern controller scheme is really good and the graphics are gorgeous they kept the true spirit of the original game but the camera and gameplay could have used a bit more work other than that this is a brilliant remake.

    Jogo muito bom, gráficos lindos. Porém não dou nota máxima por que a forma que se controla o cavalo é ruim, poderia ter sido melhor adaptado nesse remake. E poderiam ter acrescentado mais coisas ao game também e aproveitado melhor a plataforma.

    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.

    Shadow of the Colossus was a fascinating experience for me because I didn't play the original version on the PS2 back then, however, it was more complicated than I expected.

    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
    - Pretty Good -
    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.

    Do I recommend it?:
    If you're looking for a fun videogame experience, I probably wouldn't recommend it, but if you're looking for a unique videogame experience, I'd say yes.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Shadow of the Colossus game is a huge success from the PlayStation 2, the game got an HD version of the PlayStation 3 console, which did not make a significant change to the graphics but let new players be out of the game. And in 2018 we got a remake of a game created by Bluepoint games (the company that developed the collection of Uncharted games) so let's start with a review of the game Shadow of the colossus:

    Plot - The plot in the game is simply excellent. Without making you spoilers I will just say that the plot of the game will arouse in you many emotions from designer to anger.
    Final score - 10/10 - Just a crazy plot.

    Gameplay - The gameplay in a simple game is very excellent and creative, the game consists only of bosses but the bosses are like a puzzle that after you kill them you will feel a sense of satisfaction. The bosses in the game are not puzzles, they will also challenge your archery links and your tolerance.
    Final score 10/10 - Simple gameplay is excellent.

    Graphics - The graphics in the game are simply breathtaking even today in 2021. Bluepoint did a great job here with the graphics that make this game look like a game released today and not like a game released for the PlayStation 2.
    Final score - 10/10 - Simply amazing graphics

    To sum up the remake of Shadow of the colossus is a simply amazing remake, it's one of the best remakes I know, it's also one of the best games I've played in my life.
    Final score - 10/10 - A simply amazing game, anyone who has a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 must get a copy of this game.    … Expand

    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 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

    And it's not the soulless main character that looks like the singer from a k-pop band, neither is the excellent musical score, nor the gorgeous -although empty- lands you traverse, nor is the short length of the game (clocking at about 8 hours in my first ever playthrough)... no. It's the goddamned controls.

    I can't recall in my 30+ years as a gamer such awful, infuriating and bland controls - both when just fighting or platforming but also while on the horse. It's just a nightmare. It basically breaks & ruins the experience. I think 30% of my runtime was unwillingly falling off cliffs, bumping into walls & rocks, etc. It's infuriating, awful & frustrating - and totally disruptive of an otherwise sweet experience.

    I totally wanted to finally play this game after so many years, so I did. It has its enjoyable moments, and certainly has something to offer... but beware: you'll be screaming & cursing at your screen like you're watching the World Cup final.    … Expand

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 reason this isn't a 10/10 from which you'll be able to tell from the other reviews is the controls are annoying at times. Not so in important situation but when on the horse travelling. It's like the horse is made of jelly and you're trying to control it with a Wii remote which is basically me saying, it's annoyingly frustrating at times.

    The original fun factor from the PS2 game does carry through onto this PS4 edition and if you've not visited this game in some years like I did, for a low price I'd definitely recommend getting this, even just for the graphics (Which aren't next gen quality but an improvement nonetheless.)    … Expand

    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

    El control de Wander, el personaje principal, es tosco porque encarnamos a un chaval cualquiera enfrentándose a criaturas que hacen temblar la tierra a su paso. Ni siquiera es alguien que destaque a nivel físico, y esto se puede comprobar desde el minuto 1 con la voltereta para esquivar; lenta, torpe y rematada con un traspiés.

    Montar en Agro es muy frustrante si se intenta controlarlo totalmente, porque es un ser distinto a nuestro personaje. No controlamos a Agro, controlamos al chico que monta en Agro. Es mejor guiarle con pequeños movimientos para indicar la dirección general y él ya recorre el camino a su manera. Además necesitamos su ayuda para vencer a varios de los colosos, forzando una colaboración que no necesita barrera idiomática para desarrollarse.
    Esto hace que no sea solo una extensión del control del jugador, sino un NPC con personalidad propia.

    El campo extenso y vacío es una muestra de soledad y desolación, una tierra abandonada por los hombres en la que la vida no puede florecer. Esto potencia la escena final y da un punto más esperanzador a una historia llena de melancolía y tristeza.

    Shadow of the colossus es una mirada al abismo. Matar colosos es satisfactorio porque consigues sobreponerte a un enemigo temible a través de las dificultades, pero a la vez son criaturas que no suponen una amenaza para nadie, únicas y magníficas, una representación del poder de la naturaleza contra la intervención humana. Su destrucción se convierte en nuestra corrupción.

    Es un juego creativo en sus colosos, sobrio en formas, elegante y que cuenta exactamente lo que quiere contar; sin relleno, sin artificios y sin mecánicas innecesarias. La obra de un desarrollador único en el medio.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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

    Il gioco mi è particolarmente piaciuto, soprattutto per l'atmosfera e i giganti nel gioco, consiglio di giocarlo per un po', alla fine non è un gioco che dura troppo e secondo me dura il giusto per un gioco di questo tipo

    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.
