Worked so much better on a replay. I played the especially unbalanced America release my first time through and remembered the ending was pretty cool.

Genuinely blown away. So many motifs that flew over my dumb kid brain. The moment right before the final encounter is probably one of my favorite moments in gaming.

Shadow of the Colossus being my favorite game of all time, I'm really in love with the minimalism and more personal story Ico tells in comparison. My mind will be exploring the halls and history of this castle for a long while.

I also absolutely love the playground of a backstory for personal theories and head canon. Masterpiece
