The Consequences of a Beautiful World: Shadow of the Colossus (2018)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: In Shadow of the Colossus, you spend more time riding than fighting. You play as Wander, a young man crossing a huge, empty land to kill sixteen giants, and nothing stops you from getting off the horse and looking around. When Bluepoint remade the game in 2018, critics said the new version was too pretty for such a bleak story. Marie Silhova takes that complaint seriously and asks what all the added beauty is for.
