Shadow of the Colossus is the ultimate style over substance videogame. Enjoy the giant wonderful open world that doesn't have shit all in it other than esoteric collectibles and healing shrines in a videogame where damage heals over time. Enjoy grandiose, epic battles with hulking monstrosities that never become as complex as they maybe should. And then on top of awkward controls, enjoy a camera and a horse whose main function is to wrestle control away from you. While these gripes permeate the game's 7 hour runtime, it's never bad enough to drastically spoil the gameplay experience. Except for the final boss though, that shit blows.
