The Morality of Shadow of the Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus is a rare masterpiece of a game. The occasional janky controls and wonky physics aside, every element of this game holds up incredibly well. More than that, its about the overall package just coming together in a cohesive and synergistic way, the mechanics of the game complimenting and reenforcing the themes and story. Probably the biggest reason we havent seen a repeat is because its less about a boss rush where you climb all over big monsters and more about the total package, and getting it right. Though it is also about the boss rush. The technological side of SotC is still daunting, and Im sure plenty of game developers out there re-play it and go wait, how did they do that? Last word: the beginning of the fight with Avion, when Wander transfers from the ground to Avions wing, is one of the purest moments in video game history.\r
