The new visual are so gorgeous that you'll think this is a completely different game if you've played the original. The folks over at Bluepoint Games have completely rebuilt the world using modern techniques that provide players with breathtaking landscapes and highly detailed character and environment modeling. Since this isn't really a new game, the visual rehashing of Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most important aspects for those who've played the original.
That becomes even less bearable in enclosed spaces, which can often lead to death if you're fighting a colossi, so don't let yourself ambushed in narrow places. Not to mention that during fights and while riding Agro, the camera acts erratically. I have to say that riding Agro is wonderful as long as you're running in a straight line, but once you reach rough terrain or narrow roads things go south. Here is one of the other aspects of the game that wasn't improved at all: horse riding. However, that doesn't mean that the battle will be easy, more so when you're hit with such terrible controls like in Shadow of the Colossus.īefore fighting the colossi, you'll have to find them and travel to their hideouts using Agro, your faithful horse.

Luckily, you get hints at the beginning of each fight, so you'll know how to defeat the colossi. The problem is that you're just a small David trying to kill a huge Goliath without the epic sling. Each of the colossi you'll face have hidden vital points that you must hit with the Ancient Sword to defeat them. Shadow of the Colossus is basically a game where each fight should be treated like a boss encounter. It's true that developers have added four or five new control schemes, but that doesn't really change how they work in the game. In case you've played the original and felt frustrated by the camera movement and almost terrible controls, you'll feel right at home when playing the new Shadow of the Colossus. Although Bluepoint Games overhauled almost every part of the game, it almost didn't touch the controls and some gameplay mechanics. It's where Shadow of the Colossus should shine if not for the clunky controls. It's a unique storytelling concept that might not work for all players since the entire game, except for the beginning and the end, is supported by pure gameplay without any story bits.
Actually, the last 10 minutes of the game explain everything to the player (wait until after the credits for more story bits!), so not killing all the colossi won't give you any idea of what's really happening. The game doesn't reveals too much of the background story until almost at the end. The latter is not just a formidable weapon against the colossi, but also the only item that can guide you to their hideouts. This will become your base of operations where you'll return after each successful mission.ĭormin promises you it will resurrect Mono once you kill all 16 colossi wandering Forbidden Land, which seems a pretty straightforward job for the bearer of the Ancient Sword. The temple in the middle of the zone, Shrine of Worship is the place where you get your first assignment.
Legends say that the Forbidden Land shelters the only entity that has the power to revive the dead – Dormin. As your progress into the game, you'll feel the bond between Wander and Agro strengthens, as he becomes your only ally against the colossi. Your faithful horse, Agro is of utmost importance for the mission since he's the only means of transportation throughout the world built by Ueda. I will say that you'll be playing Wander, the main protagonist, as you adventure into the Forbidden Land in search for a miracle that would resurrect a girl named Mono. However, if you're new to the game, you'll receive little to no information on the plot, so I'm not going to spoil it for you. If you've played the original Shadow of the Colossus game, the newly remastered version doesn't come with anything new story-wise.

Shadow of the Colossus has always been a great game, but does Bluepoint Games manages to fix some of the old game's issues while updating its visuals and gameplay mechanics? After less than 10 hours spent with the new Shadow of the Colossus game, I can say that the results are a mixed bag.ĭisclaimer: Shadow of the Colossus was reviewed using final retail PS4 version provided by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
