The plot itself is light, but that isn’t detrimental to the narrative. From there, Wander sets out to defeat every single colossus in the Forbidden Lands. Dormin agrees to grant Wander’s wish, but only under the condition that 16 beings known as the Colossi are killed. You see, Dormin has the power to bring back the dead, and Wander wants to use this power to resurrect Mono, a girl that was killed during a ritual sacrifice. In the game, you’ll play as Wander, a young man that has traveled to a place called the Forbidden Lands in search of a being called Dormin. After spending many hours with this remake though, I’m thrilled to say this new version of Shadow Of The Colossus is every bit worthy of its namesake.įitting this game into a specific genre is a bit of a task, but if you’re unfamiliar with it then here’s the gist: It’s part puzzle game, part boss rush, and all ethereal melancholy. There are few games as beloved as this one, and I’m certainly in the camp that believes the original deserves every bit of that admiration.Įven with Bluepoint’s track record of excellent remasters, a full-on remake from anyone other than the original development team caused a bit of concern.
Remakes are a balancing act in staying faithful to the source material while also updating the formula to meet modern expectations, this being the challenge Bluepoint Games faced when approaching Shadow Of The Colossus.
