Climb into legend in Shadow of the Colossus, Bluepoint Games’ 2018 remake of Team Ico’s 2005 classic that stormed PS4 on February 6, 2018, and still looms large in 2025 with over 2 million copies sold by 2019! This isn’t just a glow-up—it’s a breathtaking odyssey where you, Wander, a lone warrior, roam a forbidden land to slay 16 towering Colossi and revive Mono, your lost love, in a haunting pact with a dark god. With PS5 compatibility and a timeless legacy tied to Ico and The Last Guardian, this titan-slaying epic endures!
Grip your sword—ride Agro across dunes, scale fur and stone, and stab glowing sigils to topple giants like Valus or Phalanx in a custom engine rebuilt from scratch, hitting 4K/60 FPS on PS5 (cinematic mode at 30 FPS stuns too). Explore a vast, empty sprawl—crumbling shrines, misty plains, ancient ruins—every Colossus a puzzle, every fight a boss rush, no filler mobs or fluff. No DLC, just 10-15 hours of pure melancholy—New Game+ unlocks time trials, hard mode, and white Agro, while photo mode immortalizes the scale. It’s you, your horse, and the giants—nothing else.
The vibe? Mythic solitude meets tragic beauty—think windswept cliffs, Colossi roars, and a Kow Otani OST that swells with mournful strings and silence. The story’s a whisper—Wander’s quest ends in shadow, Mono’s fate hangs—voiced sparse but piercing. Solo only, no co-op—critics (91 on Metacritic) and X posts adore its artistry, though some nitpick controls or Agro’s stubborn gallop. Steam’s Spring Sale doesn’t touch it (PS4 exclusive), but PS Plus Extra keeps it free—Shadow of the Colossus dares you to fell the titans. Mount up and pierce the sky!
