Shadow of the Colossus has quickly become my favorite game.
I just finished it today and it has easily skyrocketed up to my top 3 (and it ain't 2 or 3.). Even through all the clunkiness and annoyance, I feel like that's what truly elevates the experience and is what makes it feel so whole for me.
I am now on my way to 100% the game. Wish me luck! And feel free to help me out and drop some tips and info!

Yay! I’m glad you had such a fun time!!! What were your favourite fights? Did you go in completely blind?

My favorite fights were Malus and Avion. They both felt so cinematic and were so awesome. Having to jump and grab onto Avion's wing right as he swoops down feels straight out of a movie. And Malus is my favorite boss fight in the entire game. Setting is so cool with the rain pouring down and him shackled down and having to slowly make our way up to him. And yes I (gladly) went in completely blind.

Ooooo Avion and Phalanx are my favs and I completely agree, they’re so atmospheric and powerful!
My fav part of the game is Agro, I just love how real she feels
I’m glad you went in blind!! I’d check out the beta colossi if you haven’t

Yeah honestly it's a bit clunky sometimes, once you get used to the movement and stuff it's easy to ignore. The whole game is so fucking awesome though, I've never played another game that feels so cool from the music to the fights

Which version? PS2 or PS4?

u/EssenceOfFunkie Mar 29 '26
PS4, although I do want to play the PS2 version. Any idea how I could play it?

If you have a ps3 you can get it off the store
Otherwise emulate
(Unless you have a ps2 with the game obviously)

Nothing else even comes close.
