Shadow of the Colossus Reviews
So, overall? I thought Shadow of the Colossus was fun, once I got past the several issues I felt I had with it. Each Colossi I killed was fairly satisfying, even if the method boils down to the same-y “stab in the head” route. Yeah, I would probably shadow a Colossus again.
This is a must play for all PlayStation 4 owners.
Perhaps the only drawback in the game is its short duration, although this can be ignored in this price zone. I can not think of a flaw in this game and I am convinced that this is one of the games that any game lover must try and acquire.

I waited 13 long years to finally play Shadow of the Colossus. All I can say is, boy, was it worth the wait. It's undoubtedly a timeless classic that resonates even today.
This is easily one of the finest remakes by Bluepoint Games. The improved visuals elevate the experience to a whole another level that is unmatched by even some of the more recent open world games.
A simple yet stunning adventure with a haunting world and a soundtrack that rises and falls perfectly in tune with the action, Shadow of the Colossus is an ageless game which can now be enjoyed by a whole new generation.
Shadow of the Colossus is a must buy for everyone with a PlayStation 4 console, no matter if you played the original one or not. Thanks to the huge improvements in the graphics, this new version is on a same level with most of this generation titles and it's quite a different experience from the one which was remastered for PS3.

Shadow of the Colossus remains faithful to the 2005 release, down to its problems. It masterfully utilizes the new hardware to amplify its immersion, yet remembers to maintain the importance of the original ideas and message. Even with its flaws, it's a game that everyone should experience.
It's great to be able to play a PS2 classic again like Shadow of the Colossus. The graphic remasterización can be more or less questionable but without a doubt it manages to give a new flavor to a title that deserves all the awards that did not obtain in his day.

Shadow of the Colossus isn't just a successful remake of a beloved game. It has set a new bar for what a remake should be in the first place, and left me optimistic, for the first time ever, about the prospect of revisiting old games on new systems. This is how every remake should be.
Shadow of the Colossus has proven to be a timeless classic and one which deserves to be played by nostalgic fans and first-time players alike. Although the concept appears to be repetitive, the story is powered forward by the player's desire to slay the sixteen colossi and bring back Wander's sleeping love. The final moral twist and the emotional conclusion to the end of the game is powerful, and memorable and it helps elevate Shadow of the Colossus to the highest standard of storytelling.
Bluepoint Games has made a good remake of the Shadow of the Colossus to suit the current generation of platforms. Perhaps the most important feature of this game is its unique design that separates it from any other game currently present, offering a different Action Adventure in a wonderful world and a simple but mystery story.

As its own scenario, its own experiment, it’s own idea of how to raise tension and adrenaline. Outpacing giants on horseback, tricking monsters off ledges or into traps, and weaving through the woods and mountains and deserts and piecing together what once was, is just as magical as it ever was. Bluepoint found one of the most unique atmospheres of isolation in exploration in gaming, and managed to keep it intact as they rebuilt Shadow of the Colossus; by mountain, by forest, by titanic hulking beast.
Shadow of the Colossus will leave one of the most lasting impressions on any player that braves the journey to the Forbidden Lands.
