So, so far ahead of its time. Actually, too far ahead of its time. The ideas that this game had could not be fully realized on the PS2, and it needs a full remake rather than the PS4 remaster. It is a beautiful game with a great story, but its gameplay is so often buggy, boring or some combination thereof that it drags the experience down significantly. When it works, its wonderful, but more often than not I'd find myself scaling a colossus only to spend five minutes watching my character stumble around on its head while I desperately tried to make him stab the thing. This game is worth the hype in concept only, although I'd absolutely recommend it to any PS4 owner simply for the visuals, as well as to experience an important piece of gaming history.
