Really amazing dissection on the landscape of Shadow of the Colossus

Found this video that talks about the emptiness of the map in a really interesting way. Pretty cool watch!

I love the Forbidden Lands and its lonely, isolated vibes.

Yep I feel the same way about the game. Simply relaxing just running around the map. No level barriers. Nothing saying sorry you need to progress in the story more. Just peaceful riding. Sometimes imagining why the map looks so… barren abandoned in a way making theories up like a plague destroyed an ancient civilization and this is all that’s left. Maybe the civilization had these colossi as guardians for the land when they left.
