Gameplay : 6 Graphics : 8 Story : 6 Sound : 7 **********************************************************************************Overall : 6 (not finished)

Definitely fun. Minimilastic atmosphere supported by simple but impactful storytelling, beatiful visuals and soundtrack, great and interesting premises. Though, gameplay is undeniably flawed as it feels like they did the mechanics of the game (control of the camera, character, and horse) inconsistent by choice to make the game harder and extend it’s already small playtime. On top of that, some of the objectives are straight-up counter-intuitive in a way that it is impossible to figure it out, thus needs external assistance. That part of the game is cheap and frustrating. Overrated but good game.

Jugue la versión de PS3 y me gustó bastante, creo que para si tiempo fue sin duda una locura. De nuevo, me encantaría rejugarlo para tener una opinión más fresca, pero tengo un lindo recuerdo.

受限于作者的设计理念和较早的技术力，在控制视角方面较于目前的主流游戏，有点反人类。抛开这一点，把骑马想象成操作的是一匹“马”，而不是角色，多熟练一下可能会发现这种新体验也十分有意思。文本量十分少，但音乐、环境配上独特的镜头语言，整体营造出的感觉，是极其优秀的。

good remake of the original but its too short and simple these days. would recommend playing but do not expect anything too special. atmosphere is by far the best part about the game. fighting the monsters and then getting tpd back to the start over and over again kinda gets repetitive.

There is nothing better than killing giants and a great variety of them, something worthy of respect, it has a simple problem: the camera, but you can get used to it... This is a game to say the least, a masterpiece worthy of positive evaluation.

I loved fighting with the colossus. The developers did a great job programming this battles. However the map is so empty that it feels it misses something

I love a game that lets you figure things out on your own and challenges you, but there is a limit. Some times I would figure what I was supposed to do and the game wouldn't work or it would be so convoluted it just took the fun out of it, making it more of an exercise in frustration. I love that the story pulls the rug out from under you and the game play can be really fun and satisfying, but it just wasn't a lot of the time. Also, I just ran everywhere cause the horse was so annoying to control.

I like it BUT I think the design of the collusi/levels is outdated. I also think the platforming ****. The story and music is great tho.

Holy ****, I've never played a game that is set up like this. A loved one dies now go and kill 16 ginormous beings to redeem and keep your legacy. I love that the game gets straight to the point with the added bonuses of not having to upgrade your gear and not having extra enemies, just pure unadulterated focus on the task at hand. I wish more games would do this, hell.... they should make a genre similar to this where it's just one focus, no extra enemies for play time's sake, just the goal and that's it. Gaming was just better pre-2018. The originality in the PS2 days was another monster.

INCRÍVEL, gráficos bons, não fica perdendo fps, combate muito maneiro e história bem contada

Melhor jogo que eu ja joguei na minha vida, é uma experiência indescritível, a ambientação, a história tudo naquele mundo é fantastico

Best game of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was such a fantastic experience. I loved exploring the world with Agro and it was fun defeating all the Colossi. The music is also just really iconic too. The only thing is that I wish there was fast travel because it was really annoying having to always get to each Colossus the long way. Other than that, I would recommend this game.

Sensacional, não tenho palavras para descrever esse jogo, o mistério, a gameplay e toda a ambientação é simplesmente sensacional, esse remake ficou simplesmente perfeito. Review geral: História - 10 Personagens - 10 Gameplay - 10 Platina - 10

That's a very personal opinion. Unfortunately, I didn't like Shadow of the Colossus. The map has beautiful landscapes, and I understand all the positive reviews, but I didn't find it interesting to have to return to the center of the map every time I defeated a colossus (even the map is a big blank space) . I thought the horse movement mechanics were terrible. I found the battles to be quite limited in terms of attacks and movements. Translated with **** (free version)

un muy buen juego, los bosses son buenísimos y cada uno con una mecánica propia y única a cada boss que te enfrentas. lo único malo que veo yo desde mi punto de vista es que solo esta para ps4, igual si se puede jugar en ps5 no tiene una gran mejora grafica en consolas y tampoco hay o habrá un lanzamiento en pc que lo haría brillar mil veces mas por la optimización que puede tener este juego. a pesar de estos detalles es un buen juego y un juego que vale muchísimo la pena jugar.

Shadow of the Colossus is a special Zelda-like PlayStation exclusive adventure that also has a place in gaming history that's entirely its own, providing 16 colossi that each have their own challenging (and at times quite esoteric) strategies that are so satisfying to accomplish. On the other hand, and this might just be because I decided to go straight to hard mode, but the protagonist (who I had to look on Wikipedia to know at all that his name is Wander) has some of the most unresponsive controls I've ever fought against.

Una historia increíble, atrapante y llena de misterio. Es un juego que te obliga a pensar, investigar y explorar. No hay tutorial, no hay mayores explicaciones ni consejos. En cuanto al gameplay es bastante entretenido, pero en ciertas ocasiones puede ser frustrante el manejo de la cámara, sobre todo con jefes aereos. En sí, es un remaster bien hecho, con gráficos adecuados para la época, pero quizá faltó pulir el apartado de los controles junto con la cámara.

Perfect remake, looks stunning and plays just as I remember it. this game keeps holding after so many years.

This is one of these games that you should be admiring because it's some kind of a classic and art. To me its vast emptiness and lack of any other content it has, sided with bad controls, is just not worth my time. I got it for free which is only good thing I have it.

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do now after playing it for the first time. Every collossus in the game is very unique in terms of design, attack pattern, and how you have to defeat them in combat. The game never gets tiring because of how short it is. The games controls are a bit imprecise and clunky at times but it didn't ruin my time with the game at all.

Great game and graphics but by far the worst controls I have ever needed to use. The camera isn’t even playable with its auto lock mechanic it makes the game unplayable and unenjoyable as it doesn’t let you control it as it just resets to the way it wants.Great game but will never play again.

I can understand why it's a classic and I knew it was clunky and not for everyone. I liked the beginning but the more I played it the more cracks started showing. Worth trying but not completing.

Malgré ma note sévère, je recommande de jouer à Shadow of the Colossus.Pourquoi ? Car il saura vous marqué dans le bon comme dans le mauvais sens du terme. L'ambiance et la direction artistique (ainsi que le choix de la fin malgré son scénario très pauvre) sera vous transporter et se démarque clairement des autres jeux-vidéos, d’où le titre de chef-d’œuvre pour certain. Seulement rien ne va niveau gameplay, c'est juste un jeu d'escalade mais avec des problèmes constant. Le personnage tombera parfois tout seul car le jeu n'est pas du tout optimiser pour **** sachant que 80% du jeu se base sur l'escalade des colosses, vous comprenez que la frustration va être constante tout le long du jeu et encore plus sur le boss final nécessitant d'escalader l'équivalent d'une tour de 30 étages. Les 20% restant ne sont pas mieux car le gameplay à cheval est très raide (autant dans la direction que dans l'indication de la lumière servant à vous guider). Bref un jeu inoubliable mais qui clairement ne mérite pas la moyenne car l'objectif principal d'un jeu-vidéos reste son gameplay, qui pour le coup est totalement décevant.

This game is more important for how it inspired others like Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild, rather than by itself. Surely in the PS2 era it was consireded a little gem, but by today standards, it feels more like a curious 10h long indie. Game consists in roaming an evocative yet completely empty landscape to find and beat 16 bosses that were mostly entertaining, but sometimes excruciatingly tedious.

Yeah it is clunky sure but I really enjoyed the experience. The core gameplay loop of finding the locations of the colossi figuring out how to climb them and kill them was one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had. The story is also really meaningful and can get really emotional at times as you slay this beasts for a selfish reason.I am Really glad I found this magnificent game in 2025. I would wholeheartedly recommend everyone to give this game a shot but I also understand the people that dropped this because of the clunky nature of it

Shadow of the Colossus on PlayStation 4 remains a masterpiece of sensitivity and scale, with breathtaking landscapes and a melancholic atmosphere that permeates every step and every battle against the colossi. It is a unique, almost timeless experience, capable of holding the player’s attention through sheer ****, despite its “remake” label, it behaves far more like a deluxe remaster. The core of the game is almost identical to the PS2 original; the visuals have changed, but very little has been rethought or rebuilt. Elements that could have been modernised, refined, or adapted to today’s standards have simply been copied. It feels as though the original game was lifted wholesale, polished on the surface, and handed back — beautiful, but without **** is still an extraordinary game, but it lacks the boldness of a true rem

This game is beautiful and strange with some of the best boss fights ever. However the controls are a little stinky especially the horse.

Very unique experience and atmosphere, definitely worth one playthrough. Empty world with epic bosses. The big problem is the controls, the game feels very clunky, everything is slow in response, so the gameplay aspect can feel a bit frustrating. After finishing, instead of going to NG+, I’m just glad it’s over. 7/10

Minimalist yet hauntingly beautiful. Its artistic vision is timeless, though the clunky controls and camera can hinder the experience today.

Первый раз играл в данную классическую игру. Возможно - ожидал большего , хотя и понимал , что игра раскроется не с первого раза. Игра обладает такой особенной японской атмосферой грусти и тоски. Музыка - как обычно чарующая, картинка тоже приятная. Сюжет игры зацепил меня , чуть горько стало даже. Из минусов хочется выделить проблемы с навигацией и камерой + пустынный мир. Хотя в этом может и фишка. Всем советую, таких игр больше не делают. Сам ещё раз перепройду позже…

Worst game I ever played xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Mona Lisa of gaming. Somber and melancholic. One in a lifetime kind of deal. Work of art, really.

Obra de arte que marcó diferencia en el **** una experiencia personal con los videojuegos totalmente diferente a lo que había probado antes. Lo probé en el año 2011 en la PS2 y sigue igual de bueno a cómo lo recordaba. En mi opinión, joya atemporal.

Elden Ring'in esinlendiği iki oyunun varsa birisi Zelda'dır, diğeri de bu. 20 yıllık bir oyun olduğunu her anında hissettirse de açık dünyadaki tasarımı, nereye nasıl gidileceğine dair yol bulma zorluğu hala keyifli. Her boss savaşının birer bulmacaya dönüşmesi, bulmaca oyunlarını hiç sevmeyen beni bile tatmin etti. Şiddetle tavsiye etmem, eskimiş ama genel kültür için oynanabilecek bir oyun. Pek uzun değil zaten.

Can’t believe this game dropped in 2005. Just played the 2018 remake and wow. Just vibes and boss fights. Each fight is a fun puzzle to solve, and the whole world is very visually appealing. I wish they took the time to create a more in depth story when they remade this but that’s just me. 8.8 is a fair score for me

So immersive, the atmosphere is perfect. Riding a horse has never felt so special, everything feels so big. The emptiness says it all, it makes you wonder why you're doing all that. No UI, no clear storytelling, just a vast empty world; clearly the definition of less is more. The soundtrack makes every moment better. The gameplay can feel boring and repetitive for some, but that could be his only flaw.

За 10 минут что вы проводите в битве с колоссом вы испытываете настоящий букет из различных эмоций от интереса, предвкушения, возбуждения, и удивления до злости, недоумения и фрустрации но в конце все накопленные чувства плавно перетекают в грусть и стыд

Excellent soundtrack, a work of art of its time. Love it. But the controls are very difficult since I just played it.

This is truly a remake that forces you to consider trade-offs. There are some changes to the original masterpiece that do somewhat dampen the original's unique, foreboding atmosphere. But on the flip side, the quality of life improvements to the camera and gameplay, the exceptional graphical makeover and steadier framerate, and a soundtrack that is spotless makes this a laudable example of respecting an original vision while trying to make something that's a bit more accessible in the modern age. Do some of the solutions to these encounters remain ridiculously obtuse? Yes. Are a few of the Colossi a bit anti-climactic? Yes. But the high highs that gave this game its stellar reputation remain as exhilarating as ever.

A quién diseñó el coloso 11 espero que como mínimo lo hayan despedido. ¿Cómo es eso de que el ataque del coloso **** menos que el protagonista en levantarse? No tiene ni el mas mínimo sentido. Una batalla que produce una frustración tan exagerada que lastra enormemente la experiencia en general. Y quien lo diseñó es un completo inútil.

Listo el Shadowofthecolossus. Queria jugarlo una vez mas a ver si revivia esa sensacion de enfrentarte con colosoa formidables e impresionantes. Pero lo que me paso de joven hoy lo termine sintiendo en menor medida. Siempre me paso con este juego que lo senti mas como un paseo, una obra, una historia linda o simple. Porque si me tengo que basar en la jugabilidad en si es algo muy pero muy facil, sin vueltas ni nada raro. Ojo hoy en dia agradezco no tener que estar mirando stats, equipamiento, etc. Es bueno de vez en cuando sentarse a jugar y solamente seguir una linea sin tener que estar dando vueltas ni levelear. Pero asi como lo veo bueno tambien me da la sensacion de ser un juego con un apartado artistico muy bonito pero en lo otro muy vacio. Es por eso que al dia de hoy me cuesta verlo como una obra maestra o un must que muchos dicen. A los nuevos jugadores no se si mucho les podria atraer por las cosas que explique anteriormente. Aun asi para mi se lleva sus bueno 80/100 por que tiene su magia y dejo una marca en su momento. Ahora hablando del port esta bien hecho el remake, pero es eso una actualizacion grafica y nada mas. Los controles se sienten mejor, pero algo lentos para hoy en dia. En ps5 para los 60 fps hay que dejarlo en modo **** ir mas lejos lo recomiendo!

I played SotC on each possible console. It is a unique experience and easily one of the best games of all times. The 16 colossi are masterclasses in boss design, that keep inspiring modern games. The soundtrack is a masterpiece on its own. The story is deceivingly simple and powerful, and you can't help but feel completely invested in it. The character and world design is astounding, capable of inspiring, calm, awe or dread accordingly. Possibly the game you should play if you were to play only one in your whole life.

My favorite game ever made. Few games can let me feel do much emotion with so little effort. The world is just art. The colossi are fun And you always have the feeling of something is mysterious about this world. The ps2 version is better because the remake does not understand what made the original art style and draw distance so special but overall still a good game and im very happy modern audiences can experience it. Its nothing for people who are impatient because the controls need some training and you actually have to think to beat this game. Everyone that trashes on it just has skill issues or thought it had a lifeless boring world or thought it has a great story like red dead 2. This game is nothing for those persons. Its for people who understand art

Occasionally clunky controls but isn’t enough to lower the score to a 9. Great boss fights and atmosphere, and great graphics as well. Soundtrack is also amazing.
