#SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PC GAMEPLAY PS3#
The studio behind this remake, Bluepoint Games of Austin, Texas, already has the 2011 PS3 remaster of Shadows of the Colossus under its belt. The 2018 version of Shadows of the Colossus is a complete rebuild from the ground up, using new generation tech and all-new exquisitely detailed artwork and textures. The distinction between a remake and a re-master can sometimes be few and far between. Wrecking up the place is undoubtedly going to turn out to be a dick move. We build temples to honour the things we worship. Let’s think about this logically for a moment and remember that no one builds temples in the likeness of the bad guys. For a start, the hub of the game is an extremely grand temple lined with shrines to statues of the sixteen colossi. I think there are some pretty strong indicators for the morally observant players among us. If a lifetime of devouring books, films and games has taught me anything, it’s that making a deal to bring someone back from the dead never ends well for all involved. A mysterious mass of black shadow people appear and make a deal with Wander to slay a number of colossi in order to bring his beloved back to life. Upon reaching the forbidden land, our hero finds a vast central temple lined with monolithic statues of saintly colossi. I found myself hooked before the adventure even truly got started. We join our hero traversing a treacherous mountain path on his trusty black steed, Agro, with the dead body of his beloved young maiden sheltered between his hands. Right from the opening seconds it makes a grab for your heartstrings and doesn’t let go.
The game is as staggeringly beautiful as it is emotionally crippling. No matter, I was excited to take control of the young mysterious Wander and search this beautiful land for colossi to savagely stab to death. With that being said, this game is so iconic and has been discussed at such length that the plot had sadly managed to reach me before I had a chance to explore it myself. I was aware of it but never played it back in the day, so when I finally sat down to play the 2018 remake it was without the nostalgic mercy often shown to classic games. Shadow of the Colossus passed me by when it was originally released on the PS2.
