So here’s something that’ll piss people off. I did not enjoy Monster Hunter: World. द्वारा 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 आप 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 प्यार 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. आप start off द्वारा fighting these bosses that just want to kill आप for coming near them, but soon, आप fight colossi that aren’t even trying to kill you. They’re just trying to throw आप off them and are trying to escape, but आप won’t let them. And before long, आप are just killing Colossi that are just gentle giants (For the most part). And in between fights with the Colossi, आप are left to wonder the world. No enemies to fight, no side quests to complete. Just… go find the अगला boss. It’s quiet, and very atmospheric. Nothing but you, your horse Agro, and the world around आप as आप make your way to the अगला boss fight. And can we just please talk about the संगीत of this game. The संगीत is some of the most amazing songs ever. I know I कहा that fighting these monsters isn’t meant to make आप feel like a badass, but the संगीत is so amazing. It makes the most basic of things seem like the most amazing thing in the world. Even if आप 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 आप should play it. It’s got an HD version on the PS4 and it looks even और gorgeous than before.
