The boss rush-style combat encounters is an idea that would be explored years later, but never quite in this way, and certainly not for as emotionally compelling a reason. The game comes together to create a hauntingly sparse but yet full-of-life experience, exacerbated by the fact that you yourself are responsible for sucking the life from the land. The wide open map is allows you to travel virtually anywhere from the outset, but it's largely devoid of life by design. The vistas and the colossi themselves are so remarkably rendered, that even now the game left us in awe at multiple points.Īnother thing about the game, is that much like 13 years ago when it first released, there just isn’t anything quite like it on the market. The sense of scale is utterly mind-blowing, with the cavernous environments offering a little of everything. Bluepoint created a technical marvel with this remake. Now to be fair, Shadow of the Colossus has actually aged better than many other games from that era thanks to its incredibly focused direction. The game now looks like what you probably thought it looked like back in the day. But everything just looks so much more vivid. The game's charmingly janky controls remain intact and your horse, Agro, remains. It is an uncompromising vision of the original title, retaining the heart-achingly sombre title’s intent while sprucing everything up. This is all the more impressive when you consider the fact that the creative vision and intent of the game remains intact. The end result is a version of Wander’s journey through a forbidden land that looks so much better than we could have ever imagined back when the game first launched.
