Once found, however, is where Shadow of the Colossus changed game development for a generation. On the face of it such cyclical gameplay - find monster, defeat monster, go again - may seem dull and uneventful, yet it is in this simplicity that Shadow of the Colossus excels.īeautiful landscape forms the backdrop of the adventureĪs you embark on your adventure you quickly realise that half the work is using your sword to help guide you in the general direction of where the next Colossus might be, and as you progress through the game finding them becomes quite time consuming. There is no open world RPG gameplay to speak of, no side quests (other than some optional collectibles added to this version), no central hub, no other characters to interact with other than your trusty horse and there is nothing else in the entire world of the forbidden lands. To achieve this, Wander must search the forbidden lands for sixteen Colossi - giant beings - and defeat them. Rooted in simplicity but simultaneously ahead of its time, Shadow of the Colossus is the tale of a young man named Wander who enters the forbidden lands with a view to restoring life to a young girl named Mono. This release isn't just haunting and exhilarating, but it now looks amazing too.
Given the 2005 game's popularity saw it appearing frequently in top 10 lists the world over, pairing it up with a remaster specialist for the latest generation of consoles is a match made in heaven. Potentially then we have a bit of a dream collaboration on our hands with Shadow of the Colossus.

For those unfamiliar with Bluepoint, they are effectively the gold standard in remasters with previous credits including Uncharted:The Nathan Drake Collection and Gravity Rush Remastered, as well as being the team that did the original Ico & Shadow of the Colossus upgrades on the PS3. Described by many as one of the greatest games ever upon release back in the golden age of the PS2 and subsequently ‘remastered’ years later for the PS3, Shadow of the Colossus returns to the latest generation of consoles thanks to the incredible development team at Bluepoint.
