Fumito Ueda…what a genius. After the success of ico, Ueda and his team got working on their next game: nico (Ico 2) which would eventually turn into shadow of the colossus.
The game starts off with a random guy on his trusty horse as he lays down who we can only assume to be someone he loved…all of a sudden a mysterious voice tells him that he can bring her back if he kills 16 colossi…and that’s where the game begins! You go around killing each and every colossi slowly filling out your promise to the mysterious voice. The game can be slightly repetitive but it spices it up via the colossi having different designs and ways of killing them, some being easier than others.
Overall, it’s a gripping tale that shows Ueda at his peak and pushes the ps2 to its maximum.
Lovely visuals, great music, gripping story, I swore at too many colossi…
