Some battles involve using the surrounding environment in very specific ways. Many boss fights combine elements of platforming and puzzle-solving, as different strategies will need to be executed in order to climb the larger colossi and reach their weak points. Wander begins the game with a sword and bow and arrows, the only weapons provided to defeat all of the colossi. The Forbidden Land that these colossi inhabit is both expansive and serene, with no other enemies in between the sixteen boss battles. The singular goal of Shadow of the Colossus is to find the sixteen colossi located throughout the world and kill them. In 2018, Shadow of the Colossus received a remake with a full graphical overhaul for the PlayStation 4 from Bluepoint Games. The game was later re-released for the PlayStation 3 along with Ico in a two-game HD collection. Shadow of the Colossus is generally considered to be both a prequel and a spiritual successor to Ico, Team Ico's first release. Wander's journey pits him against the massive " Colossi": sixteen powerful golems created long ago that roam the Forbidden Land, an uninhabited region of the world that is said to hold the means to restore the souls of the dead. The player controls Wander, a young warrior who seeks to revive a dead maiden named Mono. You might not like it at first but you will get hooked, like me.Shadow of the Colossus is a third-person action-adventure game developed by Team Ico and originally published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2005 for the PlayStation 2. So if you find this game sitting alone in EB Games or a movies store, give it a try. DAMN YOU!), but everyone knows, and I know it should of gotten first. This game definitely deserves more praise than people have given it, for it is the best game in the world and got voted 4th on ign.com, (damn that God of War. Be glad that he is with you, for if you would have to travel this land on foot, it would take you about a hour to walk from the top of the map to the bottom, not even thinking about left and right. I would say about half of the area is used for the colossi, the other half is for exploring with your only friend and companion, Agro, the black horse. But the best thing about this game, is the will and freedom to explore this large and vast land, which takes about 5 hours to cover the entire area, and takes a long time to find all the fruit trees and all the save altars on the way. I also love the idea of insignias and the way they look, and how you have to spend breath-taking hours trying to find them, and the colossi acting like a complete idiot trying to shake you off. I love the water graphics in the game, and the way it moves and how you have to catch onto it's tail. My favorite colossi has to be no.7, the electric eel. But it didn't end there, I did everything there was to do, completed all the time attacks in easy and hard mode, and confirmed the 17th colossi rumor (and btw, it's not real.) It didn't end there either, my cousins were so happy with me that they wanted to borrow my file and show everyone how good I was at the game. For 2 days straight I beat it, after getting about every single fruit and WT lizard that the world could hold, and watched the touching ending that like gasping for breath, and trying to hold back my tears. Until I demanded that I borrow the game, I printed out one of the online guides, and played the game all day. I must say it had to be love, I would not put down the controller for anything, not even to watch Full Metal Alchemist at 10:00, I was too concentrated of at the greatness of the game, and the contents it held. Until I went to their house about a year later and was bored, and decided to play the game to actually feel how it was to play. It was probably because I was in the middle of my Final Fantasy 8 file and was used to long games. Yet it all began with me watching my 2 cousins playing it, until I despised it for the playing style and how short it was. In all of my years of life, I have not met one person, one living soul that has not liked this game after watching it or playing it themselves. I can't even begin to explain how amazing this game is, it is beyond words, beyond actions, to explain the precious contents hidden in the case of one of the best games ever made in the entire world.
