As a newcomer to Shadow of the Colossus, I probably take these improved graphics for granted. But a story is something that doesn't rely on pixel count - and Shadow of the Colossus has one of the best I've experienced in a game.

Shadow of the Colossus was a masterpiece when it released in 2005, with only few technical flaws truly hurting the game, and this remake basically perfects every issue previously had with the game beyond fixing it's general length. It took me 3 hours and 52 minutes to beat the game, granted, with a lot of prior experience, but it still lasts the same approximate 8-10 hours of gameplay for new players. Despite this lack of length, I strongly suggest old players and new to pick up this remake at some point in time, to truly experience the definitive version of Shadow of the Colossus

To say that the original Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most important and fascinating games of all time is to speak what many already know. But what few have yet discovered is how Bluepoint managed, like few studios, to visually rework a classic yet retain the same essence of what made it so important in its time. Even with some flaws from the original game, the experience remains true to the purists and modernized enough to be accessible to new players, with the studio reworking elements of the original in the right measure. The remake brings a work of art to a new audience on PS4, showing the melancholy and epic quest of Wander in a land of colossus to save his beloved. An unforgettable and unparalleled journey for new and old players.

Shadow of the Colossus is still a high-quality game at its core after years. Bluepoint Games, however, have managed to give a new life to an age-weakened title.
