This time it was apparent to me that Shadow of the Colossus isn’t a tale of heroism it’s a tale of grief. A classic tale, almost like an ancient myth. Of course, myths tend to be more than just stories. I was playing a hero, tasked with taking down evil giant monsters to rescue a beautiful princess. When I first played Shadow of the Colossus nearly a decade ago I very much took it at face value – its visual and narrative simplicity, to me, indicated that it was a simple but enjoyable game overall. It’s amazing how much your view of a game can change purely because you yourself have changed and this was something that I found especially apparent when revisiting Shadow of the Colossus. One of my favorite things about writing this column is that it gives me an excuse to jump back into games I haven’t played in years without feeling any guilt about my growing pile of unplayed brand new games (also known as my Smaug pile). Plus, HDR support will be incredible in a game that makes such effective use of light and shadow. It may be minimalist but, boy, is it stunning and I really can’t wait to pore over every little detail in 4K. To be honest, anything that comes from the minds of Team Ico should be in 4K but Shadow of the Colossus is especially deserving.
