An overwhelming game! Marvelous, fantastic and amazing experience. It's my top 5 from games you must play once in a lifetime. A piece of art!

I'm a sucker for well set up twist endings.

The soundtrack is also superb.

i spent a week fighting the big turtle back in 2011

A tad bit repetitive and most of the colossuses are kinda stale to fight against and are just platforming challenges disguised as an monster.

One of the classics. One of my first big games I played. Can see how the gameplay aged poorly, but I think the idea of having the gameplay be the climbing instead of just holding forward (looking at Assassins Creed games) is great.

as beautiful and atmospheric as a game can get, there is a reason Shadow of the Colossus comes up early in conversations about whether or not games are 'true art'. what it lacks in consistently-pleasant controls or longevity it more than makes up for in boundless beauty and scale. for a PS2 game it still manages to look timeless and great as ever, and the unforgettably-epic music has still yet to get old.

Definitivamente um dos melhores da minha vida. Já zerei e re-zerei um zilhão de vezes. Até hoje penso sobre a história e sobre o universo do game. Cada colosso era único e incrível, o cenário era estupidamente grande com apenas o personagem e o cavalo. O sentimento de solidão era proposital, e tornava a imersão ainda melhor.

Um dos melhores games já feito, sem sobra de dúvidas.

Juegazo de la play 2 chipeada, lo ame

the atmosphere and gameplay is top notch, makes you feel bad for killing every enemy without ever needing any words

sometimes really boring, sometimes hair tearingly irritating, all times feels

An experience everyone deserves to try.

A wonderfully sad game. Probably one of the most important ones in the history of the medium. It has aged very well, definitely a must play.

Leading example of the artistic capabilities of video games. One of the few works of art, in general, which left me speechless in every way.

Its a game that always make me nostalgic. Used an emulator to play it. It was the second time, the first time I was a child and it gave me the creeps but finished it anyway. Today, it was really nice to play it again. The world its in is magical and kinda sad. It has a nice difficulty, not too easy but not too hard, and beautiful scenes.

saudades gastar tardes inteiras galopando sem rumo, vasculhar blog procurando teorias sobre os colossus, explorar cada pedaço de terra dessa pequena obra de arte <3

The outstanding camera work of games like SOTC or the Resident Evil Remake, in which every camera angle and every frame seemed meticulously designed with intent gave the experience unparalalled cinematic flair.

Then every game went full 3rd-person-over-the shoulder perspective for 15 years straight. Demonic.

Shadow of the Colossus é tão imersivo e espetacular, que até o próprio criador da série Souls é fã. A jogabilidade ainda que simples, é convincente; a magia está em sua trilha sonora, que é uma das melhores que já ouvi.


Fantastic. From a superficial manner a unique, engaging and epic journey with insane visuals, boss fights, soundtrack and so on. But if you want to go deep it has as many layers as you're willing to go, delving about relationship of the human and divine, morality, subversive hero's journey that makes you question your journey through the whole game. It's filled with symbolisms and inspired on hermeticism, biblical myths and so on to bring up an unique and interpretative story that will make you wonder about it for years and you'll always find new details or theories that makes you look at the game through a different lens, even years after beating it. Each can play the game and view it on a very different manner, has a harmonic ludonarrative that pushes it's themes and messages through it's mechanics, very meaningful ending... Masterpiece

One of my all-time favorites. Tells one of the best stories in video games with very little dialogue or cutscenes. The story is what your character does in the game. This simplicity extends to the gameplay and UI as well where mechanics and information are kept at a minimum for the player to be that much more absorbed into them. A must play game.

The gameplay isn't bad, you're bad and you can die mad about it.
