Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)

Son loves it

Bought for my adult son. He loves it.

16 year old really enjoyed this game.

My son's therapist recommended this game to me. Good graphics. Arrived brand spanking new! I opted to get the PS4 version (I also have a PS3) because the graphics are better on this version... At least from what I have read. Game is fun. I couldn't find the first monster after an hour the next day the therapist played the game and I picked up so much watching him play.

Excelente juego

I bought this game under the impression that it was either Region 1 or an ALL region disc. No where in the description of the listing did it say what Region it supports. Come to find out its a Region 2. Well thankfully the game still works in my PS4 in the USA but since it is Region 2 I can't access content in the Store. So thats why its not a 5 stars rating.

new and in perfect condition

If there was an argument for videogames being art, it would be Shadow of the Colossus.

This game is calm and depressing at the same time. I spend hours riding Agro through the beautiful landscape. The encounters with the Colossus are challenging and fun.

Jouez-y passez pas à côté de ça !

In perfect condition. Great remake. It is a shame that Bluepoint was shot down :(

Bluepoint Games ha realizzato un remake incredibile, la cui unica pecca sono i volti dei personaggi, un po' diversi e meno riusciti rispetto all'originale per PS2. Ciò, detto è un titolo fantastico, da avere.

This is either a remake or remaster of Shadow of the Colossus depending on your definition of the term. I like to call it a remaster since the gameplay/main design of the original PS2 classic remains untouched. It's also the second remaster after the PS3 version. This time however the graphical assets have under gone a complete overhaul by remaster experts BluePoint Games, who have remastered other classics like the PS3 Uncharted trilogy series and Gravity Rush among many others. Purists will quite rightly question if something has been lost in translation, but if it let's you experience this classic in another way then it can only be positive, since both the PS2 original and the PS3 version are now long preserved. The story involves a young man named Wanderer entering a forbidden land to resurrect a loved one and set a task to defeat a number of colossi. The colossi: HUGE monsters that look to be made out of fur and stone. The land is huge, and whilst empty with nothing except ruins, you never feel bored exploring the whole place. The environment feels very lifelike. Enthusiasts of this game have quite literary spent 100s of hours exploring, looking at the environment for clues of past colossus that may have existed, and it's no wonder why, the land is beautiful. One of the new features in this version is the Photo Mode - a common feature in Sony's first party games: it's put to great use here. Wondering around the place and activating the Photo Mode, I felt like David Lean trying to shoot a perfect beautiful picture - in the video game world the elements that bind such high cinematic feats are rare. Speaking of the Photo mode - one of the most saddest and moving things in gaming is visiting a Colossi you defeated and find that its body is now nothing but stone and earth. You can take a picture and ponder on your actions and I found it quite thought provoking. I have to mention your companion: a horse named Agro who is handled brilliantly by the game mechanics. There are times that I go off and lose him and calling to it really does feel like his lost, at other times you can leave him and still see him in the distance alone. A small complaint is that the controls can be sluggish but I think that's down to feeling the struggle of the world you are in. This is game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, everything from the environment, music and the Colossi themselves tell a story and serves as a worthwhile reminder at a time when the Money-men from major publishers are trying to turn console gaming into online casino boxes, that gaming at its very heart can be a high artistic medium.
