It's funny, despite how my tastes with games change over time, Shadow of the Colossus stays stuck in my brain over and over again. Something about it is so mysterious and enigmatic. The Forbidden Lands(the main setting of the game), feel alive but filled with mystery, the main narrative in minimalist but profound, and the feeling you get when seeing the first Colossus, this massive towering thing, is a fantastic experience. Play this game, it's worth everything you've heard. Words can't fully describe it.
