A, dare I say, artful look into grief, loss, and the human condition. The quiet landscapes let you ponder the meaning of the game as you ride from colossus to colossus. In the end, is worth killing such beautiful creatures for sake of one person and what is the cost for you, the player?

Shadow of the Colossus is a game that has awkward controls, a large but empty open world, and a nearly nonexistent story. But its music, atmostphere, and the little story it does have are all excellent, and it's definitely a beautiful, artistic game. While I wouldn't recommend Shadow of the Colossus for everyone, it's a perfect example of the artistic potential video games can have, and it definitely deserves its spot as one of the greatest games on the PlayStation 2.

I first played the HD-remaster on the PS3 circq 2013, and it still blew me away. There are valid criticisms about the clunky controls but otherwise it's a pinnacle of artistic achievement in video games.

Shadow of the Colossus is undoubtedly a beautiful game. The controls are iffy but there is nothing quite as satisfying as taking down a Colossus on your first try. Even if you've played the game a million times before. The minimalist style and unique visual leave a haunting mark.

A visually striking game about a boy climbing building sized monsters to stab them in the head. Asides from the excellent boss fights, which are levels in themselves, the game is a bit empty and bland, but I wager that's on purpose. Definitely worth a play for any of those interested in a bit more of an artistic experience.

This game is pure mood. Well, mood and awesome battles against the most giant bosses in all of gaming. It all feels undeniably empty - throw in more puzzles and a few dungeons and towns and you'd have a Zelda game - but the game is just so haunting and eerie and memorable, and every time you run across a new Colossus is a staggering moment of awestruck dread - "How do I fight THAT?!"

Offers up one of the most daunting atmospheres in any game I've played. The boss battles, while ultimately all having the same means of defeating them, each offer something new to the gameplay and everything this game does feels really tight mechanically. It's not the most intensive boss rush you'll experience but it's certainly one of the most majestic and eloquent.
