Shadow of the Colossus (2018) reviews and comments

Even now the game still has something to offer. Gameplay may be a bit simple, but remastered graphics offer an excellent, beautiful, epic empty world. And that is on top of epic original colossus fights that often offer unique experience.

8.5 colossus of 10
A great remake of a masterpiece of a game. The definitive version!

Short: on of the best remasters (remake) I know.
The graphic part is awsome and the game is short and enjoyable.
However as you kill giants the game becomes repetitive. There are a lot of collossus and it's almost the same mechanical for each of them. Sometimes it could be very frustrating because you have to repeat a lot of mechanical things. Besides it's hard to control the horse and this is also frustrating.
I was tempted to drop out the game several times, but I persisted and looked for guides in internet to defeat most of the collossus (or to get to them).
This was the first game that made me physically exhausted while playing.

I can see why people would have been impressed way back when it was originally released because of the large scale to the game. I never played it back then. I do not get why this remaster deserves such high reviews. The controls aren’t good and the game is boring. I didn’t finish it. I did probably 8 or so bosses. The boss fights weren’t that clever. I didn’t think they were good puzzles. I saw so many posts on Reddit from people praising this game. I think they are just hopping on a bandwagon saying they liked it because they heard it was a good game or they are blinded by nostalgia. It’s not good. Not worth your time.

Final Score: B-
Feels amazing to take down Colossus
8/10

+ Incredible scale of boss fights
+ Intriguing story told subtlety
+ "games as art"
+ Remake preserved atmosphere/feel of original while adding gorgeous visuals

- Camera is very frustrating
- Finding Colossi is annoying in empty world
This cult classic changed the way I view everything around me, and got itself a great place in my heart. This new perspective of the game makes me want to spend an eternity just listening to the ambience sounds and the mare's soothing trot.
