I don't know what it is around the mysticism that surrounds PS2 games but this was yet another game that my older cousin had back in 2005 and I had to see it get played because I was like 6 years old but the theme that plays when you fight the first colossus made it more epic. The different colossus designs were just terrifying compared to a small human it was amazing seeing Wander defeating these once harmless creatures just to save the girl he loves. Hearing about the cut content that Nomad colossus put on his youtube channel and him getting all these different discs with early builds of the game when Sony was showcasing the game before it came out is interesting and makes me wish the stuff that was cut out was in the actual game the spider colossus and the devil colossus makes me wonder how they would've played it if they didn't get cut. Seeing the interviews from the creator back then saying if he was to remake the game he would try his best to put the cut colossi in the game. I was devastated when i heard about the remake coming on ps4 and they were just keeping the original 16 colossi from the ps2 release and not adding anything else. Plus the ambiguity of the ending makes me think there could've been more but im p sure once they saw the horned child that SotC was a prequel to Ico. The game is beautiful and the fact that it ran well on the ps2 is an amazing feat in video game history
