So here’s something that’ll piss people off. I did not enjoy Monster Hunter: World. bởi the time I got to the thirteenth monster, I was about done with this game. Nothing felt new. They all felt like the same monster that bạn attack, let it run away, chase and then kill. No games these days I’ve seen use the giant monster and the use of scale to do some really impressive boss fights. And then I was reminded that Shadow of the Colossus exists.
Shadow of the Colossus takes place in a fictional world with it’s own language and it’s own rules. One character in this world is a young boy named Wonder. After his tình yêu dies, he takes her to the Forbidden Lands in the hope of finding a way to revive her. Dormin, an ancient god, tells Wander that, if he slays the sixteen colossal giants of the lands, he could revive her. But, he also warns Wonder that a price must be paid for these actions. So, Wonder goes on his way to hunt down these sixteen giants in the hopes of getting his wish. From the start of the game and from the box art, you’d think that the game would be this epic adventure about slaying monsters as big as skyscrapers. And while it is, it is not an epic adventure and these are not monsters. bạn start off bởi fighting these bosses that just want to kill bạn for coming near them, but soon, bạn fight colossi that aren’t even trying to kill you. They’re just trying to throw bạn off them and are trying to escape, but bạn won’t let them. And before long, bạn are just killing Colossi that are just gentle giants (For the most part). And in between fights with the Colossi, bạn are left to wonder the world. No enemies to fight, no side quests to complete. Just… go find the tiếp theo boss. It’s quiet, and very atmospheric. Nothing but you, your horse Agro, and the world around bạn as bạn make your way to the tiếp theo boss fight. And can we just please talk about the âm nhạc of this game. The âm nhạc is some of the most amazing songs ever. I know I đã đưa ý kiến that fighting these monsters isn’t meant to make bạn feel like a badass, but the âm nhạc is so amazing. It makes the most basic of things seem like the most amazing thing in the world. Even if bạn can’t play Shadow of the Colossus, at least give this score a listen. It is so damn amazing.
Shadow of the Colossus is one of the few games I know that pull of the giant bosses and scale perfectly. It’s a little awkward, but so is Wonder. Shadow of the Colossus is an amazing game and bạn should play it. It’s got an HD version on the PS4 and it looks even thêm gorgeous than before.
