Shadow of the Colossus PS4 Review

40 Comments

1. 9.0 horse feels stiff and shite

2. I have the HD version on PS3. Slightly better graphics, but locked at 30fps at all times. Much better than PS2 version.

3. what's that song?

4. Those janky controls make me want to toss my controller sometimes, ugh, but this is still my favorite of Team Ico's work.

5. Half way through and Solid 5/10 –____– it's this bad

6. This game is traaaaash. Only the graphics and visuals are amazing

7. a true masterpiece !

8. I want this game but I have no money 🙁

9. legend of ze… ohh wait wrong video

10. Playing this for the first time and gotta say so far I am not overly blown away by it. Awful controls, very erratic camera and the battles are repetitive. I fail to see what the hype is about??

11. Yawn. Shitty review

12. To overrated

13. The same game but with mind blowing graphics effects 🙂 . . . ? ! ! ! I had it for PS3

14. Why not ten

15. And they dont speak english. kinda regret i bought it now…

16. Good game I defeated the monsters with great satisfaction, about 8 total I rented it Redbox and didn't want to return it. At times I got bored and others I just thought I was playing a cooler Zelda. Good remake I guess even though I never played the original. Enjoy fully entertained nevertheless

17. I bought the game today – hopefully I won't be disappointed…

18. The game is super boring. Pretty but boring

19. Ok i'm sorry but theres problems in this remaster wonders face looks too young not full of emotion or determination and some of the colossus are broke they need fixing and mono isnt bright to represent that she matters to wonder she just looks dull and final the camera my god why didnt they fix the camera so i'm sorry until they fix this game i wouldnt buy it if i were u

20. I'm not going to kill innocent giants for somebody`s girl.

21. I always been a multiplayer first person shooter kind of guy, but after defeating the 3rd collosui…just wow…

22. somebody help me out here !!! …

    there was another game similar to this but i cant remember what its called. what i mean by similar is the climbing on top of massive monsters, except in the game im thinking of it had a young child instead. also i could be wrong but i dont think there were many of these monsters(maybe one or two, not sure). you had to get the attention of the monster, gain trust in eachother, and use eachother to each's advantage to escape where they were I THINK. there was lots of puzzle type things you had to solve to proceed. i even remember when it came out pewdiepie was very excited for this big game and made gameplay videos for it, which is how i discovered the game.

    if anyone knows and could help it would be highly appreciated 🙂 im literally dying to know haha…

23. Maybe 6-8 hours if you've played it before, it took me about 12. I loved every minute of this game though, oh my God

24. I OPENED MY SHADOW OF COLOSSUS AND IT DIDNT COME WITH A BOOK.

25. Absolutely in my top 5! Great score!!

26. Not sure if they even bring it up in the review but can anyone confirm if they fixed the problem the PS3 remaster had. It involved your grip and how you would shake way more than the original PS2 release. Really made it ridiculous for those Hard Time Attacks.

27. I wish they allowed you to control any collosus you killed after you have defeated all of them

28. and the player still runs like a limp wrist noodle armed manchild who has to dump

29. Wouldn't it be amazing if and when you complete SOTC you can then unlock ICO remake? Wishful thinking.

30. The enemies are only huge monsters?

31. People be boasting that $50 is cheap while in my part of England it is £20

32. I was so excited to play this, I had never played it until this came out, but I had heard nothing but good things. Then I bought it, and I hate the controls, and the camera is terrible. I have no motivation to play this game anymore, pretty disappointed.

33. This was my first time playing Shadow of the Colossus. I've heard such incredible things about it over the years. If anyone is interested in this newcomer's honest perspective I just uploaded my review of the game!

34. I probably don't get it, but I just bought Shadow of the Colossus a few days ago and completed it in about 6 hours: it must have been the worst gaming experience I've ever had in my life: yes, great visuals and unique story, but the excruciatingly bad controls (my index finger!!!) and camera ruined everything for me… I was so happy when I finally completed it as it really was a shore to get through this game. I'm returning it first thing tomorrow and will be glad I'll never have to touch it again.

35. Where's SOCOM!!

36. I hope when the PS 7 comes out they remake this again this is an instant classic if you were around when the first one came out and some of the Young Bucks today that have a PS4 don't know what this game is be a friend and tell them about it and show it to them and blow them away

37. anyone trynna buy a 3DS pokemon 20th anniversary edition hmu

38. That looks absolutely amazing!

39. Unless they added the "Lost Colossi" from the Art Book as Unlock-able content, I'll be keeping my old PS2 copy. Call me old school but I liked the PS2 struggling to keep up with the sheer scale of the game. 😛 Also, I HATED the slowdown moment they added for the final blow in the HD re-release. Way cooler when it was just: Boom! Death cut-scene.

40. You have smartphone, tablet and comp. Why console? Who but geeks care of fascinating performance, ppl want games. And this one will sell PS4. 0nly.
