For me I think Colossus 13, the flying one in the sand, was my favorite when I first played. I just remember it being a cool feeling teaming up with Agro just to get onto it and then holding on for dear life when it started doing barrel rolls. Just felt so epic
Probably the bull. Up until that point they were all pretty gigantic and had an almost impossible feel to them, and then we got that and I remember it just felt different to me.
You should remember, this game was originally made nearly 20 years ago. It's one of the all time greats, and a beacon of video game artistry and although the entire game is one big cautionary tale against desperately clinging on to things, (I'll try to keep myself from jumping into an endless diatribe about all the Classical Japanese themes dripping off this game) but I can't help but attempt to relive that first time playing this game by watching others play it. Thank you for putting this up here for others to enjoy. I'm very glad you liked it and spread the word.
I would occasionally think to myself “this was made in 2005!!”. This just seems like an incredible accomplishment for the time period. I know they must be proud to create something that can still be loved in 2024
@@Skyytea Well, to be fair, this is a remake for the PS4. The original game was still ahead of its time on PS2, but it was much less graphically impressive compared to this remake, and it also suffered from pretty bad framerate issues, since it pushed the PS2 to its absolute limits.
@@savageplanet8299 I remember back in the PS2 the graphics being as good as the remake is now 😭but the audio and gameplay is basically the same - a marvelous work of art
@@Skyytea there is a trailer that came out at the time of the remake that compared the PS2 original, the PS3 remaster, and the PS4 remake. It is really interesting to see what did and didn’t change between the different versions. It is on TH-cam, search for it.
@@feliperamedeiros It indeed is a work of art. Since my first experience with ICO i felt in love with the beautiful artistic look and originality of that game. In all Ueda's games its like your playing a dream such a feeling hard to describe. Actually i felt similar with the videogame Journey same kinda experience. Can't wait for the new game of Ueda project Robot.
I bought this when it came out and the girlfriend I had at the time REALLY wasn't into videogames, thought they were silly. I came home with it and popped it in the PS2. When the intro was playing she was passing by and mentioned that it looks really pretty, and sat down to have a "quick look". She sat down with me and watched every single multiple hour session I had and ended up crying at two points. One was a certain unexpected event that you all obviously know, and the other was when I finished it! Hope your doing well Gabbi, wherever you are :)
@@itskarl7575 It was the Agro moment (which I'm sure you're referring to). I mentioned her crying at one unexpected moment (Agro) and at the end, which I did not mention was unexpected. I want to play this game again now... damn it!!
Man I remember playing this back in 2005. Watching your gameplay brought some very good memories Sky. What an amazing journey, unforgettable. Easily one of the best games ever...
Skye, you can't even imagine how much I appreciate you for these timestamps... I may not even use them as I get invested but I appreciate your work in providing them Still think you'd love a Final Fantasy game, judging by how much you enjoyed this game.
Wander is the name of the character you play as. His name is never spoken in the game but it does appear in the credits under voice talent. For a game that's almost 20 years old, it continues to be played, explored, scrutinized, studied, discussed. That really says something. "ICO" & "The Last Guardian" are also by Fumito Ueda & his team & are highly recommended. "Praey For The Gods" is a nice spiritual successor to S.O.T.C. & is also recommended.
This is my favorite game of all time. The subtle storytelling, the epic moments, the emotional yet understated ending. Not to mention this was a PS2 game on release. It was way ahead of it's time. This game proves that games can be art. Brilliant game, and a well played blind playthrough, Hi5
@@BradleyIveson I wouod also recommend ICO, the predecessor of shadow of the colossus. Very unique game, very unique atmosphere. And it would round out the Fumito Ueda trilogy.
@@MarkusAxunIllianus Now ICO hit me like a truck. After beating Shadow of the Colossus with my little brother who was 6 at the time, he got so hyped by the game we used to play "Kill the Colossi" and he climbed on my back as I was a colossi and he was Wanderer. We played for as long as my strength and lungs let me since he was on me going all around looking for 'sigils to kill the colossi'. Then, couple of years later I found ICO existed and got the game... my little brother was like 8-9 and still climbed on me to play 'Kill the Colossi'. When I played ICO, I saw my brother in the main character and through the game the story made me genuinely made laugh of happiness but also broke me into tears real hard. It is up to this day I love ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian and are one of my top 3 most loved franchise so far.
I played this game as a kid with my brothers and cousins and still all my life this is the game I come back too I’ve platinum it twice and now final gathering the 79 coins. This game just has something to it I always thought it was sentimental values for me but as I watch more people play the remake over the years I think there’s more to it than that, truly one of the greatest games to be made I’m so happy that more people are being introduced to it.
I discovered SOTC when I was going through a very tough time in my life. I just needed something different to excite me. Was recommended to by a friend and I was blown away as soon as that intro started. Till today, I still cannot believe I played it on ps2. Only one other game gave me such a chill .. "MGS1 - tactical espionage action" on the ps2. Incredible art direction & technical quality.
I like how much you appreciate the little things like butterflies, sunlight and rain and SotC is naturally a game with a lot of downtime between the actual fights for details like those to be noticed and appreciated. Loving the playthrough, and you're doing great so far!
1:47:20 She didn't just kill, she killed and then ended up with the superhero landing on top of the structure that I never even managed to climb. Bro This is so badass that it's almost humiliating. 1:46:51 And she didn't even fall once... The second she almost fell she managed a movie-worthy maneuver to stay on top.
I finally played this classic for the first time recently and it instantly became one of my all-time favorites video games. It's both really fun and surprisingly beautiful.
3:05:02 Agro: Excuse me ma'am. It's easier for you to dodge fast projectiles if you're on my back Sky: Out of the way horsey, I don't have time to play with you
It took me 10 years to fully appreciate the game. I returned to it in November 2021 and it fully got to me, since I was older with way more life experience. The Loneliness, the beautiful landscape, the peaceful creatures - it all resonated with me. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Sky. My favorite Colossus was #13 (the flying one in the desert). The flying ones are so impressive. I also liked the electric eel, the sand snake and the water buffalo.
It certainly has a very specific tone to it. The world is so vast, so large that it makes you feel large, yet, it also feels empty. Plus the journey of what you're doing and why you're doing it. Very simple, yet powerful story unfolding on top of all the beauty of the forbidden lands. Truly a magical game.
While watching this video I realized two things: 1- just how critical the music (and its absence as well) is to the experience of this game and the emotions it wants to bring out from you 2- how vastly different this is to anything else out there in the market, even today. Obviously, I knew those two things already, but man, it's still eye opening even after all these years. Also, check out ICO and The Last Guardian, made by the same people that did this. You'll enjoy them too, I feel. Great playthrough and keep up the good work!
Apparently they're all set in the same world and have a chronological order. From my understanding its, Shadow of the Colossus -> ICO -> The Last guardian. Could be wrong but this is what I've read.
Seeing you effectively use jump attacks is actually really cool. I never see people use them outside of speedruns. There's an achievement for climbing all the way to the top of the shrine from a patch of moss starting at the bottom around the back. You need to maximise your stamina though which involves completing the game multiple times in NG+. Also, saying "This is the best moment of my life" before fighting Dirge is hilarious.
I was surprised how difficult jump attack ended up being! The few times I managed to do it I was definitely excited lol Don’t get me started on Dirge 🙃
2:15:46 I think the transparency of the water they added to this version is beautiful... But the old water, the original one, was so dark in this part that anyone with a phobia of water would panic when they touched it. Just the thought of swimming was scary... such was the darkness level. And dude, I miss it here.
4:06:00 I personally think the transparency for this particular colossus adds to the terror. If you swim underwater near it, you can see it's long crab legs fade into the dark abyss. It gives the illusion of impossible depth and height of the Colossus. But the one you mentioned originally benefited from the original water
3:50:59 - WOW, thats so interesting. You were supposed to scare it off the edge INSIDE the room. But you running out here with it, just for it to fall down on its own is really weird but very interesting xD - Good watch! Edit: I had the wrong timestamp. Now its correct, my bad!
@@randallterio Very possible. However, from some of the other playthroughs I've seen, it appears that the team left the game exactly what it was like originally on the old consoles: exploitable. Since it was old, there were ways around things since games weren't as polished. I believe all that they did was make it look amazing again with good graphics but leave all the mechanics, even if some are janky or avoidable.
I think literally everyone fell on that bridge at least once, literally everyone cried with Agro, and literrally everyone cried with ending this masterpiece. Btw, you made my day. Greetings from Mexico.
Fumito Ueda really knows how to hit us in the feels. I dunno how he does it. The presentation, the emptiness and vastness of the world, coupled with the music and artistry and how he makes us care with so little. It's.... magic.
I'm at the end of a 16 hour shift, spacing out and 2:29:13 startled me right back awake. I've been watching you play this little by little to pass the time here and I must say, I never tire of watching people play amazing games for the first time so thank you for taking the time to do us and yourself this favor.
Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus both single handedly inspired modern gaming. Miyazaki credits both games for inspiring the idea of Dark Souls. Ico got him into game development to begin with. If you've played Ico and SotC, you can see the clear inspiration, and what Miyazaki borrowed for Dark Souls. The sparce checkpoint systems from Ico, the Giant bosses like Shadow, the deep story telling that you actively have to search for and piece together yourself, and SOSOSOSOSO much more. The dungeon designs, and maze like architecture. I could go on! SotC is the first Souls game in spirit.
Regarding the ending, the way i interpret it is that previously dormin was sealed in the statues but this time he iis sealed in Wander. It is also a kind of link to the studios previous game, Ico. The ending of this game was a nice kind of easter egg for those who played ico first.
I must have smashed that button a million times to try and fight back from being sealed. In the end, you realize you have to give up and go into the hole. You can fught back for as long as you want to, but you never reach the girl, and you always get knocked back. One of the goatsfor sure play digimon World 1, another of my favorites, and i think it is highly slept on. Even if you're not a digimon fan, that game is unlike anything else and is a masterpiece.
Lovely playthrough! The premise of ICO: there is a tradition in the land. When a boy is born with horns, he is considered cursed, and will be taken to a mysterious castle to be sacrificed to its dark queen... ICO was released many years before SotC, but is set hundreds, if not thousands of years afterwards. Totally different game too - much simpler, and probably won't get a cool remaster, but we can dream!
watching this reminds me how far videogame conventions have moved since the mid two thousands. if you see a structure and think "i wish i could climb that," you should really try climbing it. if agro is running around you during fight, he's doing that to make you think "maybe i should ride agro in this fight.' if a colossus has glowing body parts then you need to shoot them. if a colossus isn't remaining stunned for very long, then make him fall further next time. I am genuinely impressed that you managed to mount so many of the colossi though such consistently non-traditional means!
Thank you for presenting this game, I played it when it first came out. I thought everything about the game, the graphics, sound, story were totally amazing. You had me...the moment the opening started to play!
3:51:00 Wow. I have no idea how that worked. Btw the flame doesn't attract him. He's SCARED of the flame. He backs away from you when you have the flame, yet because you kept circling him with it he kept turning with you so he could back up. Didn't you notice at 3:50:07 that he only started chasing you AFTER the flame went out? I can't believe you completely misunderstood the assignment yet still passed. Naruto Uzumaki would be proud.
That's the beauty of well designed games like SOTC they don't have a clear-cut assignment, they just give the players some clues and let them find their own way to victory.
This is one of my top three favorite games of all time. I let a friend borrow it many years ago, and he actually gave it back saying he couldn't finish it because he could not in good conscience continue killing the colossi. I wish he had kept going because it is not something that gets rewarded in the end and it is part of the journey, but I understood why he felt that way and it's amazing that a game can make you feel that much. I also think the fact that Mono does get resurrected is such an interesting way to end things. Of course this isn't the end though, it leads into the game Ico which came out first and I had played first. Also another very good game. This whole world they created is fascinating. If you have a chance I recommend playing Ico because it does add some context to what is going on here! Thanks so much for playing this one
Btw for colossus 8, you really made your life harder by shooting it anywhere but the legs 😂, ideally you just shoot 2 of his legs and he will fall down
Not only that, the other weak point is luring him to the highest place, and when he falls from the height, he stays paralyzed for a longer time, giving you more time to strike him with the sword.
I noticed this as well. Also, you found quicker ways to climb colossi 2 & 3 that I hadn't found myself! I would always wait for 2 to rear its front legs and shoot them making it topple on it's side. #3 You said the idea out loud at one point, make him strike horizontally on soft earth, get stuck and you run up the sword. Maybe you could speedrun this? hahaha
Was wondering when we would get part2, but was really surprised to get it all in 1 video. Gonna enjoy all +6hr of my favorite game played by my favorite gamer girl ❤
i was crying everytime you did and this video brought so much memories, thank you. It is awesome to see another person having a new experience of such a unique experience.
There is so much symbolism in this game and in this ending. I like that nothing is defined. A great work of art is like this. The strength of the horse, the child with its innocence and beginning of life, the fragility. The feminine strength, the awakening from a great sleep that can represent so many things, the size of the colossus that we can see as power or egocentrism or whatever. The shadow that inhabits a hidden side of each of us, the sword (courage) that shows the way, the unknown land itself that can represent an unknown place within us. At the end, we have a large staircase leading to a beautiful garden. This in itself can be an ascension to a higher state of consciousness. This game is beautiful and powerful.
To anyone playing this game (Idk if she figured it out, I'm halfway through the video): If you hold down the dash button on Agro she will permanently run at top speed. Also, do not forget that you can target colossi. The button is different depending on your control scheme. I see so many people struggle with certain colossi because they simply forget that you can target them.
3:58:50 I in fact probably played this when I was exactly 8, maybe 7, I can't remember. But anyways, I will say it is the very first game I ever became overly fixated with and played all over again the moment I finished it. It is like THE game that got me into video games and from how I am glazing it you can tell how hard I fell in love with it. The fact that I still come back to it and follow gameplay of it about 18 years later shows how close this is to my heart. S.o.t.C. is forever goated.
Phenomenal game, still as powerful and atmospheric as ever. Great playthrough and reaction skyy! I've always thought Dormin was/were neither wholly evil or good, just misunderstood and sealed away by the people out of fear. The colossi each hold a fragment of Dormin, and as you said they are typically only violent when provoked. When Wander slays them both a shadow and a dove appear at the shrine, darkness and light.
Experiencing this masterpiece for the first time is one of the most amazing and touching things one can have. It's truly a timeless masterpiece. This game taught me a lot with so little and put me through perspectives about love and fear I never had.
Yooo look at you one tapping this game 😄👍🏼 I played this myself years ago for the first time as I heard Jacksepticeye always say it was one of if not his favorite game of all time
Just came here for the last hour and now I'm crying with you... you had the same reaction as I did when I beat the game in 2010. I really wish I played this back when it came out in 2006
Thank you for playing the game, it's been a while. "Shadow of the Colossus" is the prequel of "Ico" where the story continues. There's also "The Last Guardian" which is also in the same realm. Enjoy playing them and thank you again.
Team Ico only ever made 3 games. Ico, Colossus and The Last Guardian, although technically it was GenDesign that finished The Last Guardian during a troubled and convoluted development period. It was originally supposed to be a PS3 game but ended up being a PS4 title and was released 8 years after development initially began. Team Ico no longer exists, staff either left or were moved to other PlayStation studios.
3:59:43I understand that feeling. It's all in the right measure. The environment doesn't seem all designed for you as a player, it has its own independence just like in real life... But at the same time when you stop to If you locate yourself, you will notice important points in the scenario that guide you where to go... It is something that makes clear the dedication of those behind it and makes you wish for more.
1:27:05 Your strat was innovative and cool how you linked it to the horse. I mean it didn't work, but it wasn't a dumb idea at all. You have no idea how many hours some of us spent trying to figure these out in the early days without looking it up. You're doing REALLY good!
I played that game when i was 16 y old it was like a journey and an adventure full of excitement the story and the landscapes were very peaceful. Thx for the good memories.
I remember playing SOTC back in 2005 and i remember feeling kinda sad such a beatiful masterpiece and youre roaming alone with no npcs or nothing, this game is what made me play World of Warcraft i dindn't wanted to feel that loneliness again, also i remember climbing that big temple gettin on top and eating a fruit that if i remember right drained my health and stamina, man that was 20 years ago.
I subbed so fast when you spoke about dark water. I have been saying this my entire life. I grew up surfing in sub tropics. Even the thought of dark water makes me almost puke and sweaty. I think that is what they call a panick attack lol Nothing else makes me feel that I was looking at the water no problem but when you said dark water I felt it in the Pitt of ,my stomach lol
I'm so happy you did this, Shadow is my favorite game. I've been watching since your TLoU2 playthrough. I played this when I was like, 13? On Ps2. The experience was so moving
I grew up poor, i remember everyone around me in mexico had a ps2 and i wouldn't shut up about it when talking to one of my uncles so much so that he somehow managed to get me one and a copy of this game. I didnt speak or read english at the time so i wasn't sure what to do in the game. I saw monsters on the disc box and on the manual but didnt know how to get to em or "unlock" them. After 2 years of riding agro around doing tricks, eating lizard tails and fruit, and trying to kill the white doves around mono family from the US visited us. My cousin's bf at the time was a bully and when he found out i had a ps2 he hogged it and started playing. He then got to the 1st colossus and i was amazed... after everyone went home i started playing this game, not imagining what id get myself into. I got stuck on the 8th colossus for the longest time. We moved to the US and because of financial issues i couldn't pack my ps2 with me so it stayed in mexico :(. Skip a couple more years and i finally went back in 2010 but didn't have a way to play cuz we couldn't afford a TV. Took me until about 2012 to finish the game (LONGEST GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE EVER lol) its been burned into my mind and def has a special place in my heart. I remember hearing about the last guardian shortly after i finished the game. So cool, i was trying to find ICO tho to get the full experience and i did. But with my luck, we moved around some more, endured more hardships. I eventually joined the army came back home. And with my own money i bought myself another ps2 and a copy of ICO. I JUST FINISHED IT ABOUT A WEEK AGO. it was sooooo good, i love Fumito Ueda such a genius, every one of his games has made me cry lmao
This game came out like 20 years ago, I was 15 the first time I played it, back in 2005. When Agro fell with the collapsing bridge I lost it. This is one of the best video games ever, I used to ride Agro for hours, exploring all those ruins. Just incredible.
que alegria ver jugar a alguien sin tutoriales, sin saber qué hacer, experimentando el juego al 100%, como era antes, como fue cuando lo jugué por primera vez en PS2. la tensión, la mirada de reojo en la barra de vida del coloso, y la emoción de salir victorioso y a la vez la melancolia cuando caen derrotados. me hiciste recordar todas las emociones cuando lo jugaba. hace poco tuve que vender mi PS4 que compré exclusivamente por esta remasterización. ya me estoy arrepintiendo al ver tu video. todos nos perdimos con más de 1 coloso jaja. sobretodo con el guzano de arena. terminabamos con mapas dibujados en el cuaderno del colegio. junto con las ubicaciones de las manzanas. más encima no comiste ninguna manzanas o cazar lagartijas para mejorar el HP y a stamina, una crack. suscrito por eso. saludos desde chile. gracias logaritmo. PD: me gustaria verte jugando SOMA =D
This was a perfect video for me today so thank you! Shadow of the Colossus is a complete masterpiece. It's one of those games you just wish you could erase from your memory so you could experience it all over again for the first time. Enjoyed watching you slowly figuring out each one of the puzzles. Don't feel bad for looking it up. I remember when I played this back in the day I was also stuck on some parts for bloody hours.
One of best games ever created. This came out about three years before I graduated. Lots of great memories with my buddies playing this! Learned how to roll blunts while this game was playing…
I played the original version back in ps2 era. It's truly a masterpiece game that everyone should play at least once. The soundtrack from this game is also fantastic. Great to see your complete this remaster version.
Watching you play this reminds me of the first time I played. I can't ever get back that great feeling for myself, but watching your first time brings it all back. Such a great game.
The protagonist's name is Wander, which means "Wanderer." Wander being reborn as a baby is because the Colossus were also reincarnated from the stone idols, So by eliminating all the Colossus, Wander absorbed all the other Colossus and became another Colossi himself, which is Dormin. That's why he was reincarnated as a baby. The 16 Colossus were guardians who guarded Dormin, He made Wander eliminate all the guardians guarding him so that he could regain his strength. As the game progresses, you can see Wander's skin getting paler with each Colossi Wander defeat, This is Dormin slowly taking over his body.And that's not all, the baby that appears in the fountain is not only the reincarnation of Wander, but also Dormin (hence the horns). Dormin just used Wander to free himself, and kill the innocent guardians who owned those lands.
I remember years ago during the ps2 years, I was in an independent game shop and saw the packaging of this game. It stood out like nothing I’d seen before. I knew nothing about the game but thought it looked awesome so I bought it as a real impulse buy. To this day one of the greatest games I ever bought. So much time and effort went into its making.

ICO by the same developer is also a beautiful game. Ending made me literally cry and I think you would too 😭
Such a beautiful game, thought provoking, bittersweet and all these years later is every bit as magical. Loved the playthrough, by far the best youtuber/streamer for appreciation of fine details and the game worlds crafted 🙏🏻
That's what Fumito Ueda provides. His games may not be blockbusters or penetrate the mainstream but goddam do they stick with you. There are somewhat similar games to SoTC out there but none capture the scale, the vastness and the overall tone of it.
Shadow of the colossus is one of my favorite games that i played on ps2, along with metal gear 3 (that you will also have the chance to play soon), prince of persia the sands of time and beyond good and evil. When i played the remake and saw that first cinematic with the bird flying and the iconic music starting, i was instantly sent back to my childhood, incredible experience!
I never played a game more mystical or beautiful as Shadow of Colossus. This was the game that everybody, even after clocking still felt like there was some deep hidden secret in the game, like a secret area or boss hiding somewhere. It made some dedicated players literally turn the game inside out and find all these unused assets, environments etc..... soooooooooooooooo ahead of it's time, released on ps2 and Xbox!! There hasn't been a game like this since. When people ask me what the best game ever is this is it, 10/10 for me. I still get teary eyed listening to the soundtrack.
I bought this game three times. The original version released on PS2 (Agro’s behavior and physics were actually better in this version). I the second time SotC remastered for PS3 became the first digital game I ever purchased. And when the PS4 version became available I preordered a digital copy the day it became available. I 💯 agree it’s a masterpiece.
Csodás játék, egy igazi remekmű. Még PS2 játszottam vele először. Most PS5 tulajdonos vagyok de az első játék, amit letöltöttem, a Shadow of the Colossus volt. Szívszorító küzdelmek, öröm és szomorúság.
So man! I've never seen that either. I don't even know if it's intentional or if she confused the game itself at this point. The torch doesn't attract the colossus as far as I know, it's the opposite... I've never seen him throw himself like that of his own free will. Thats crazy
Oh... You were talking about the jumping hit, right? I've never seen it either and I don't even know if it's luck or just skill anymore. This gameplay left me speechless several times
The character u play as is named Wander, the girl Mono, and the horse Agro 😊 from what I know Wander got reborned as a baby, with all the evil cleansed from him
Your reaction was everything! Thank you so much for get into the story like that. You beated that 4th Colossi hella easy! I was using Agro and shit to climb it like for half n hour lol. Love your gameplay, this game is so special for many for us. Beautiful. PD: Really was scared with you at 2:29:15 LOL
I played this when I was a kid on the PS2. Still one of my most memorable game and definitely top 5 games of all time. What an experience. Kinda sad Japan Studio shut down even after making masterpieces like this one
Thanks for bring back this legendary game. I'm not really one for playthroughs but this was a pleasure to watch. I think since you enjoy story, Senua's Sacrifice would be an interesting choice for you if you haven't been through that journey yet. Game on my friend.
One of my favorite games I’ve ever played! What an incredible experience. Thank you for watching! ❤
I gotta know, what’s your favorite Colossus?! 👀
@@Skyytea you should play the last guardian think you’d like
@@NicoNivo29adding it to the never ending list of games I need to play! 😊
For me I think Colossus 13, the flying one in the sand, was my favorite when I first played. I just remember it being a cool feeling teaming up with Agro just to get onto it and then holding on for dear life when it started doing barrel rolls. Just felt so epic
Probably the bull. Up until that point they were all pretty gigantic and had an almost impossible feel to them, and then we got that and I remember it just felt different to me.
@@Skyytea this game have 3 squel (3 games ) , you have to finish it to understand whole story
You should remember, this game was originally made nearly 20 years ago. It's one of the all time greats, and a beacon of video game artistry and although the entire game is one big cautionary tale against desperately clinging on to things, (I'll try to keep myself from jumping into an endless diatribe about all the Classical Japanese themes dripping off this game) but I can't help but attempt to relive that first time playing this game by watching others play it. Thank you for putting this up here for others to enjoy. I'm very glad you liked it and spread the word.
I would occasionally think to myself “this was made in 2005!!”. This just seems like an incredible accomplishment for the time period. I know they must be proud to create something that can still be loved in 2024

@@feliperamedeiros It indeed is a work of art. Since my first experience with ICO i felt in love with the beautiful artistic look and originality of that game. In all Ueda's games its like your playing a dream such a feeling hard to describe. Actually i felt similar with the videogame Journey same kinda experience. Can't wait for the new game of Ueda project Robot.
I bought this when it came out and the girlfriend I had at the time REALLY wasn't into videogames, thought they were silly. I came home with it and popped it in the PS2. When the intro was playing she was passing by and mentioned that it looks really pretty, and sat down to have a "quick look". She sat down with me and watched every single multiple hour session I had and ended up crying at two points. One was a certain unexpected event that you all obviously know, and the other was when I finished it! Hope your doing well Gabbi, wherever you are :)
I love this story, thank you for sharing! ❤
I wonder if she's into video games now.
Great story. I love seeing video games impress people who don't appreciate them.
What is the unexpected event you're referring to? The only one I can think of is the one at the end, but you already mentioned the end.
@@itskarl7575 It was the Agro moment (which I'm sure you're referring to). I mentioned her crying at one unexpected moment (Agro) and at the end, which I did not mention was unexpected. I want to play this game again now... damn it!!
Man I remember playing this back in 2005. Watching your gameplay brought some very good memories Sky. What an amazing journey, unforgettable. Easily one of the best games ever...
Skye, you can't even imagine how much I appreciate you for these timestamps... I may not even use them as I get invested but I appreciate your work in providing them
Still think you'd love a Final Fantasy game, judging by how much you enjoyed this game.
My pleasure! They’re there for anyone who needs them.
I do intend on doing Final Fantasy next year whenever there’s a period in between games 😊
Wander is the name of the character you play as. His name is never spoken in the game but it does appear in the credits under voice talent. For a game that's almost 20 years old, it continues to be played, explored, scrutinized, studied, discussed. That really says something. "ICO" & "The Last Guardian" are also by Fumito Ueda & his team & are highly recommended. "Praey For The Gods" is a nice spiritual successor to S.O.T.C. & is also recommended.
2:29 This game actually did win Game of the Year funnily enough lol
Came in second for game of the decade after Half-life 2.
According to what? Just curious :) @@313gwar
This is my favorite game of all time. The subtle storytelling, the epic moments, the emotional yet understated ending. Not to mention this was a PS2 game on release. It was way ahead of it's time. This game proves that games can be art. Brilliant game, and a well played blind playthrough, Hi5
The Last Guardian next please! From the same studio and is one of the most emotional games ever created imo
@@BradleyIveson I wouod also recommend ICO, the predecessor of shadow of the colossus. Very unique game, very unique atmosphere. And it would round out the Fumito Ueda trilogy.
YESSSSS
one of the best games ever
YESSS
@@MarkusAxunIllianus Now ICO hit me like a truck. After beating Shadow of the Colossus with my little brother who was 6 at the time, he got so hyped by the game we used to play "Kill the Colossi" and he climbed on my back as I was a colossi and he was Wanderer. We played for as long as my strength and lungs let me since he was on me going all around looking for 'sigils to kill the colossi'. Then, couple of years later I found ICO existed and got the game... my little brother was like 8-9 and still climbed on me to play 'Kill the Colossi'. When I played ICO, I saw my brother in the main character and through the game the story made me genuinely made laugh of happiness but also broke me into tears real hard. It is up to this day I love ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian and are one of my top 3 most loved franchise so far.
I played this game as a kid with my brothers and cousins and still all my life this is the game I come back too I’ve platinum it twice and now final gathering the 79 coins. This game just has something to it I always thought it was sentimental values for me but as I watch more people play the remake over the years I think there’s more to it than that, truly one of the greatest games to be made I’m so happy that more people are being introduced to it.
I discovered SOTC when I was going through a very tough time in my life. I just needed something different to excite me. Was recommended to by a friend and I was blown away as soon as that intro started.
Till today, I still cannot believe I played it on ps2. Only one other game gave me such a chill .. "MGS1 - tactical espionage action" on the ps2.
Incredible art direction & technical quality.
I like how much you appreciate the little things like butterflies, sunlight and rain and SotC is naturally a game with a lot of downtime between the actual fights for details like those to be noticed and appreciated.
Loving the playthrough, and you're doing great so far!
My favourite game of all time. I play it every year at Christmas time. Fumito Ueda also announced his new game!
@@huhhuhhuh4069 we play it the exact same time of year
1:47:20 She didn't just kill, she killed and then ended up with the superhero landing on top of the structure that I never even managed to climb. Bro
This is so badass that it's almost humiliating.
1:46:51 And she didn't even fall once... The second she almost fell she managed a movie-worthy maneuver to stay on top.
HAHA Awesome. That was super tense and I didn't expect her to stay on.
there are many breaks in the footage
I finally played this classic for the first time recently and it instantly became one of my all-time favorites video games. It's both really fun and surprisingly beautiful.
3:05:02 Agro: Excuse me ma'am. It's easier for you to dodge fast projectiles if you're on my back
Sky: Out of the way horsey, I don't have time to play with you
It took me 10 years to fully appreciate the game. I returned to it in November 2021 and it fully got to me, since I was older with way more life experience. The Loneliness, the beautiful landscape, the peaceful creatures - it all resonated with me. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Sky.
My favorite Colossus was #13 (the flying one in the desert). The flying ones are so impressive. I also liked the electric eel, the sand snake and the water buffalo.
It certainly has a very specific tone to it. The world is so vast, so large that it makes you feel large, yet, it also feels empty. Plus the journey of what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Very simple, yet powerful story unfolding on top of all the beauty of the forbidden lands. Truly a magical game.
While watching this video I realized two things: 1- just how critical the music (and its absence as well) is to the experience of this game and the emotions it wants to bring out from you 2- how vastly different this is to anything else out there in the market, even today.
Obviously, I knew those two things already, but man, it's still eye opening even after all these years.
Also, check out ICO and The Last Guardian, made by the same people that did this. You'll enjoy them too, I feel. Great playthrough and keep up the good work!
Apparently they're all set in the same world and have a chronological order. From my understanding its, Shadow of the Colossus -> ICO -> The Last guardian. Could be wrong but this is what I've read.
i starting cry myself, i am from brasil, i love watch you playing this game, the game's journey is incredible and very beautiful!
Seeing you effectively use jump attacks is actually really cool. I never see people use them outside of speedruns.
There's an achievement for climbing all the way to the top of the shrine from a patch of moss starting at the bottom around the back. You need to maximise your stamina though which involves completing the game multiple times in NG+.
Also, saying "This is the best moment of my life" before fighting Dirge is hilarious.
I was surprised how difficult jump attack ended up being! The few times I managed to do it I was definitely excited lol
Don’t get me started on Dirge 🙃
Or you can actually kill every white taled lizard in each sactuary to get your stamina high enough too!
2:15:46 I think the transparency of the water they added to this version is beautiful... But the old water, the original one, was so dark in this part that anyone with a phobia of water would panic when they touched it. Just the thought of swimming was scary... such was the darkness level. And dude, I miss it here.
4:06:00
I personally think the transparency for this particular colossus adds to the terror. If you swim underwater near it, you can see it's long crab legs fade into the dark abyss. It gives the illusion of impossible depth and height of the Colossus.
But the one you mentioned originally benefited from the original water
3:50:59 - WOW, thats so interesting. You were supposed to scare it off the edge INSIDE the room. But you running out here with it, just for it to fall down on its own is really weird but very interesting xD - Good watch!
Edit: I had the wrong timestamp. Now its correct, my bad!
Leo is the hardest one, glad he doesn't have much health..if he does..rage on
Yeah, wild that she got it to work. Might have to try out this strat and see if it works consistently lol
@@goughpsmythe4979 exactly what I was thinking lol, I've never seen that before
Bad coding from Team Ico I think..?😅
@@randallterio Very possible. However, from some of the other playthroughs I've seen, it appears that the team left the game exactly what it was like originally on the old consoles: exploitable. Since it was old, there were ways around things since games weren't as polished. I believe all that they did was make it look amazing again with good graphics but leave all the mechanics, even if some are janky or avoidable.
The immersive feeling of overwhelming isolation is incredible in this game. It shows you there is a lot of beauty in sadness as well.
I think literally everyone fell on that bridge at least once, literally everyone cried with Agro, and literrally everyone cried with ending this masterpiece. Btw, you made my day. Greetings from Mexico.
This ending always hits me in the feels 😭
Fumito Ueda really knows how to hit us in the feels. I dunno how he does it. The presentation, the emptiness and vastness of the world, coupled with the music and artistry and how he makes us care with so little. It's.... magic.
I'm at the end of a 16 hour shift, spacing out and 2:29:13 startled me right back awake. I've been watching you play this little by little to pass the time here and I must say, I never tire of watching people play amazing games for the first time so thank you for taking the time to do us and yourself this favor.
Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus both single handedly inspired modern gaming.
Miyazaki credits both games for inspiring the idea of Dark Souls. Ico got him into game development to begin with.
If you've played Ico and SotC, you can see the clear inspiration, and what Miyazaki borrowed for Dark Souls. The sparce checkpoint systems from Ico, the Giant bosses like Shadow, the deep story telling that you actively have to search for and piece together yourself, and SOSOSOSOSO much more.
The dungeon designs, and maze like architecture.
I could go on!
SotC is the first Souls game in spirit.
Regarding the ending, the way i interpret it is that previously dormin was sealed in the statues but this time he iis sealed in Wander. It is also a kind of link to the studios previous game, Ico. The ending of this game was a nice kind of easter egg for those who played ico first.
It's not just an easter egg. Ico is a descendant OF the reborn Wander. This game is a (very distant) prequel to ICO.
I must have smashed that button a million times to try and fight back from being sealed. In the end, you realize you have to give up and go into the hole. You can fught back for as long as you want to, but you never reach the girl, and you always get knocked back. One of the goatsfor sure play digimon World 1, another of my favorites, and i think it is highly slept on. Even if you're not a digimon fan, that game is unlike anything else and is a masterpiece.
Lovely playthrough!
The premise of ICO: there is a tradition in the land. When a boy is born with horns, he is considered cursed, and will be taken to a mysterious castle to be sacrificed to its dark queen...
ICO was released many years before SotC, but is set hundreds, if not thousands of years afterwards. Totally different game too - much simpler, and probably won't get a cool remaster, but we can dream!
watching this reminds me how far videogame conventions have moved since the mid two thousands. if you see a structure and think "i wish i could climb that," you should really try climbing it. if agro is running around you during fight, he's doing that to make you think "maybe i should ride agro in this fight.' if a colossus has glowing body parts then you need to shoot them. if a colossus isn't remaining stunned for very long, then make him fall further next time. I am genuinely impressed that you managed to mount so many of the colossi though such consistently non-traditional means!
Thank you for presenting this game, I played it when it first came out. I thought everything about the game, the graphics, sound, story were totally amazing. You had me...the moment the opening started to play!
3:51:00 Wow. I have no idea how that worked. Btw the flame doesn't attract him. He's SCARED of the flame. He backs away from you when you have the flame, yet because you kept circling him with it he kept turning with you so he could back up. Didn't you notice at 3:50:07 that he only started chasing you AFTER the flame went out? I can't believe you completely misunderstood the assignment yet still passed. Naruto Uzumaki would be proud.
That's the beauty of well designed games like SOTC they don't have a clear-cut assignment, they just give the players some clues and let them find their own way to victory.
Task failed successfully.
When I saw the colossus fall even though she didn't scared him off the ledge I was like WHAT?! IT'S DOABLE THIS WAY?!
I didn't learned anything!! 😃😃👏🏼🎉 Well, let's move on 😂
This is one of my top three favorite games of all time.
I let a friend borrow it many years ago, and he actually gave it back saying he couldn't finish it because he could not in good conscience continue killing the colossi. I wish he had kept going because it is not something that gets rewarded in the end and it is part of the journey, but I understood why he felt that way and it's amazing that a game can make you feel that much.
I also think the fact that Mono does get resurrected is such an interesting way to end things.
Of course this isn't the end though, it leads into the game Ico which came out first and I had played first. Also another very good game. This whole world they created is fascinating. If you have a chance I recommend playing Ico because it does add some context to what is going on here!
Thanks so much for playing this one
Btw for colossus 8, you really made your life harder by shooting it anywhere but the legs 😂, ideally you just shoot 2 of his legs and he will fall down
What I would do to have your guys comments BEFORE I finish the game 😅 ya live ya learn I guess lol
Not only that, the other weak point is luring him to the highest place, and when he falls from the height, he stays paralyzed for a longer time, giving you more time to strike him with the sword.
I noticed this as well. Also, you found quicker ways to climb colossi 2 & 3 that I hadn't found myself! I would always wait for 2 to rear its front legs and shoot them making it topple on it's side. #3 You said the idea out loud at one point, make him strike horizontally on soft earth, get stuck and you run up the sword. Maybe you could speedrun this? hahaha
Was wondering when we would get part2, but was really surprised to get it all in 1 video. Gonna enjoy all +6hr of my favorite game played by my favorite gamer girl ❤
2:48:55 I can't believe you actually hit one of it's legs like you're supposed to and didn't notice when it stopped glowing 😂
i was crying everytime you did and this video brought so much memories, thank you. It is awesome to see another person having a new experience of such a unique experience.
Dude you are LITERALLY playing my CHILDHOOD. I felt 12 years old again seeing you play this game
me too me too! I have no friends who love this game so that sucks. Wanna be friends man?
There is so much symbolism in this game and in this ending. I like that nothing is defined. A great work of art is like this. The strength of the horse, the child with its innocence and beginning of life, the fragility. The feminine strength, the awakening from a great sleep that can represent so many things, the size of the colossus that we can see as power or egocentrism or whatever. The shadow that inhabits a hidden side of each of us, the sword (courage) that shows the way, the unknown land itself that can represent an unknown place within us. At the end, we have a large staircase leading to a beautiful garden. This in itself can be an ascension to a higher state of consciousness. This game is beautiful and powerful.
sorry about my english, I use translator
Very excited to see you continue this playthrough! Based on the title it sounds like you enjoyed it!
Controls are just basically "hold R2 to hang on for dear life"
@@3435-u9l The controls were absolutely horrible in this game imo. Sorry to say it.
@@issi529 I can't speak for the remaster, but the controls in the original were unbelievably good. Some of the best in gaming history imo.
@@kingofbudokai Wauw. In that case i should have played the original sooner. The remaster had absolutely horrible controls. I can't describe it.
To anyone playing this game (Idk if she figured it out, I'm halfway through the video):
If you hold down the dash button on Agro she will permanently run at top speed.
Also, do not forget that you can target colossi. The button is different depending on your control scheme. I see so many people struggle with certain colossi because they simply forget that you can target them.
3:58:50 I in fact probably played this when I was exactly 8, maybe 7, I can't remember. But anyways, I will say it is the very first game I ever became overly fixated with and played all over again the moment I finished it. It is like THE game that got me into video games and from how I am glazing it you can tell how hard I fell in love with it. The fact that I still come back to it and follow gameplay of it about 18 years later shows how close this is to my heart. S.o.t.C. is forever goated.
6 hours of this game? Yes please
I beat this in 5 hour less
She edited it so it was more time playing
@@riewibowoprobably took me 8-10 in total 😅
@@Skyytea mkiceandfire also beat in 4 hour less. He good at this.
who cares how long it takes, as long as you enjoy it! :)
Phenomenal game, still as powerful and atmospheric as ever. Great playthrough and reaction skyy!
I've always thought Dormin was/were neither wholly evil or good, just misunderstood and sealed away by the people out of fear. The colossi each hold a fragment of Dormin, and as you said they are typically only violent when provoked. When Wander slays them both a shadow and a dove appear at the shrine, darkness and light.
Experiencing this masterpiece for the first time is one of the most amazing and touching things one can have. It's truly a timeless masterpiece.
This game taught me a lot with so little and put me through perspectives about love and fear I never had.
Yooo look at you one tapping this game 😄👍🏼
I played this myself years ago for the first time as I heard Jacksepticeye always say it was one of if not his favorite game of all time
The Last Guardian is a MUST PLAY!
I second this.
This! ☝🏻😌
Can’t wait to watch this! Your streams are so good!
You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Love the way you passed the game. The feeling was awesome
Before the Shadow of the Colosus there was another game called Ico. A game about a young boy exploring a desolate land. A boy with horns.
Just came here for the last hour and now I'm crying with you... you had the same reaction as I did when I beat the game in 2010. I really wish I played this back when it came out in 2006
Thank you for playing the game, it's been a while. "Shadow of the Colossus" is the prequel of "Ico" where the story continues. There's also "The Last Guardian" which is also in the same realm. Enjoy playing them and thank you again.
Team Ico only ever made 3 games. Ico, Colossus and The Last Guardian, although technically it was GenDesign that finished The Last Guardian during a troubled and convoluted development period. It was originally supposed to be a PS3 game but ended up being a PS4 title and was released 8 years after development initially began. Team Ico no longer exists, staff either left or were moved to other PlayStation studios.
3:55:42 what is that 🤣 i never knew that before lmao hilarious
The colossi got tired and just gave up
57:27 - *accidentally cuts the game's run-time in half*
The luck wore off quick 😅
Stayed for the game play, subscribed for your seemingly genuine reaction to it. Thanks for the upload
3:59:43I understand that feeling. It's all in the right measure. The environment doesn't seem all designed for you as a player, it has its own independence just like in real life... But at the same time when you stop to If you locate yourself, you will notice important points in the scenario that guide you where to go... It is something that makes clear the dedication of those behind it and makes you wish for more.
1:27:05 Your strat was innovative and cool how you linked it to the horse. I mean it didn't work, but it wasn't a dumb idea at all. You have no idea how many hours some of us spent trying to figure these out in the early days without looking it up. You're doing REALLY good!
I played that game when i was 16 y old it was like a journey and an adventure full of excitement the story and the landscapes were very peaceful. Thx for the good memories.
Probably the most visually stunning game I’ve ever played . Haven’t seen this game since it came out and it still looks as cool as ever
I remember playing SOTC back in 2005 and i remember feeling kinda sad such a beatiful masterpiece and youre roaming alone with no npcs or nothing, this game is what made me play World of Warcraft i dindn't wanted to feel that loneliness again, also i remember climbing that big temple gettin on top and eating a fruit that if i remember right drained my health and stamina, man that was 20 years ago.
I subbed so fast when you spoke about dark water. I have been saying this my entire life. I grew up surfing in sub tropics. Even the thought of dark water makes me almost puke and sweaty. I think that is what they call a panick attack lol Nothing else makes me feel that I was looking at the water no problem but when you said dark water I felt it in the Pitt of ,my stomach lol
I'm so happy you did this, Shadow is my favorite game. I've been watching since your TLoU2 playthrough. I played this when I was like, 13? On Ps2. The experience was so moving
Just sat through this whole video. Really enjoyed watching your playthrough! So happy you loved the game, it's definitely one of my favorites 💙
I grew up poor, i remember everyone around me in mexico had a ps2 and i wouldn't shut up about it when talking to one of my uncles so much so that he somehow managed to get me one and a copy of this game. I didnt speak or read english at the time so i wasn't sure what to do in the game. I saw monsters on the disc box and on the manual but didnt know how to get to em or "unlock" them. After 2 years of riding agro around doing tricks, eating lizard tails and fruit, and trying to kill the white doves around mono family from the US visited us. My cousin's bf at the time was a bully and when he found out i had a ps2 he hogged it and started playing. He then got to the 1st colossus and i was amazed... after everyone went home i started playing this game, not imagining what id get myself into. I got stuck on the 8th colossus for the longest time. We moved to the US and because of financial issues i couldn't pack my ps2 with me so it stayed in mexico :(. Skip a couple more years and i finally went back in 2010 but didn't have a way to play cuz we couldn't afford a TV. Took me until about 2012 to finish the game (LONGEST GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE EVER lol) its been burned into my mind and def has a special place in my heart. I remember hearing about the last guardian shortly after i finished the game. So cool, i was trying to find ICO tho to get the full experience and i did. But with my luck, we moved around some more, endured more hardships. I eventually joined the army came back home. And with my own money i bought myself another ps2 and a copy of ICO. I JUST FINISHED IT ABOUT A WEEK AGO. it was sooooo good, i love Fumito Ueda such a genius, every one of his games has made me cry lmao
Wasn’t expecting a video today, so excited to watch!
Thank you for the support ❤
This game came out like 20 years ago, I was 15 the first time I played it, back in 2005. When Agro fell with the collapsing bridge I lost it. This is one of the best video games ever, I used to ride Agro for hours, exploring all those ruins. Just incredible.
que alegria ver jugar a alguien sin tutoriales, sin saber qué hacer, experimentando el juego al 100%, como era antes, como fue cuando lo jugué por primera vez en PS2.
la tensión, la mirada de reojo en la barra de vida del coloso, y la emoción de salir victorioso y a la vez la melancolia cuando caen derrotados.
me hiciste recordar todas las emociones cuando lo jugaba. hace poco tuve que vender mi PS4 que compré exclusivamente por esta remasterización. ya me estoy arrepintiendo al ver tu video.
todos nos perdimos con más de 1 coloso jaja. sobretodo con el guzano de arena. terminabamos con mapas dibujados en el cuaderno del colegio. junto con las ubicaciones de las manzanas.
más encima no comiste ninguna manzanas o cazar lagartijas para mejorar el HP y a stamina, una crack. suscrito por eso.
saludos desde chile. gracias logaritmo.
PD: me gustaria verte jugando SOMA =D
This was a perfect video for me today so thank you!
Shadow of the Colossus is a complete masterpiece. It's one of those games you just wish you could erase from your memory so you could experience it all over again for the first time. Enjoyed watching you slowly figuring out each one of the puzzles. Don't feel bad for looking it up. I remember when I played this back in the day I was also stuck on some parts for bloody hours.
One of best games ever created. This came out about three years before I graduated. Lots of great memories with my buddies playing this! Learned how to roll blunts while this game was playing…
Holy smokes. I've never watched a 6 hour long gameplay before but this was incredibly satisfying to watch and it got me stuck through all of it.
oh my god i never expect you play this beautiful game , everyone never notice this game
I played the original version back in ps2 era. It's truly a masterpiece game that everyone should play at least once.
The soundtrack from this game is also fantastic.
Great to see your complete this remaster version.
Your playlist is so eclectic, and I'm here for it. The fact that you played this awesome classic.....👏🏾
Watching you play this reminds me of the first time I played. I can't ever get back that great feeling for myself, but watching your first time brings it all back. Such a great game.
The protagonist's name is Wander, which means "Wanderer." Wander being reborn as a baby is because the Colossus were also reincarnated from the stone idols, So by eliminating all the Colossus, Wander absorbed all the other Colossus and became another Colossi himself, which is Dormin. That's why he was reincarnated as a baby. The 16 Colossus were guardians who guarded Dormin, He made Wander eliminate all the guardians guarding him so that he could regain his strength. As the game progresses, you can see Wander's skin getting paler with each Colossi Wander defeat, This is Dormin slowly taking over his body.And that's not all, the baby that appears in the fountain is not only the reincarnation of Wander, but also Dormin (hence the horns). Dormin just used Wander to free himself, and kill the innocent guardians who owned those lands.
I remember years ago during the ps2 years, I was in an independent game shop and saw the packaging of this game. It stood out like nothing I’d seen before. I knew nothing about the game but thought it looked awesome so I bought it as a real impulse buy. To this day one of the greatest games I ever bought. So much time and effort went into its making.
ICO by the same developer is also a beautiful game. Ending made me literally cry and I think you would too 😭
Is time for The Last Guardian and ICO! created by the same mastermind
And are linked. The baby.
Such a beautiful game, thought provoking, bittersweet and all these years later is every bit as magical.
Loved the playthrough, by far the best youtuber/streamer for appreciation of fine details and the game worlds crafted 🙏🏻
That's what Fumito Ueda provides. His games may not be blockbusters or penetrate the mainstream but goddam do they stick with you. There are somewhat similar games to SoTC out there but none capture the scale, the vastness and the overall tone of it.
3:10:20 i was about to LMFAO if she managed to climb that colossi like that LOL
Shadow of the colossus is one of my favorite games that i played on ps2, along with metal gear 3 (that you will also have the chance to play soon), prince of persia the sands of time and beyond good and evil. When i played the remake and saw that first cinematic with the bird flying and the iconic music starting, i was instantly sent back to my childhood, incredible experience!
I never played a game more mystical or beautiful as Shadow of Colossus. This was the game that everybody, even after clocking still felt like there was some deep hidden secret in the game, like a secret area or boss hiding somewhere. It made some dedicated players literally turn the game inside out and find all these unused assets, environments etc..... soooooooooooooooo ahead of it's time, released on ps2 and Xbox!! There hasn't been a game like this since. When people ask me what the best game ever is this is it, 10/10 for me. I still get teary eyed listening to the soundtrack.
I can't believe Skyytea just ran around killing all those poor monsters.
I like how you did part one, then said "fuck it, I'm going to finish this entire game" lol
1:34:29 Wow, you landed perfectly on Agro! Such skill! GG
Yes yes! Skill indeed 😇
its bring back my childhood memory. i was played this in 2005. one of best graphics at that time
I bought this game three times. The original version released on PS2 (Agro’s behavior and physics were actually better in this version).
I the second time SotC remastered for PS3 became the first digital game I ever purchased.
And when the PS4 version became available I preordered a digital copy the day it became available.
I 💯 agree it’s a masterpiece.
Csodás játék, egy igazi remekmű. Még PS2 játszottam vele először. Most PS5 tulajdonos vagyok de az első játék, amit letöltöttem, a Shadow of the Colossus volt. Szívszorító küzdelmek, öröm és szomorúság.
3:55:42 wow thats a first, i’ve never seen anyone take that colossus out like that before lmao that was fkin epic!! 😂
So man! I've never seen that either.
I don't even know if it's intentional or if she confused the game itself at this point.
The torch doesn't attract the colossus as far as I know, it's the opposite... I've never seen him throw himself like that of his own free will. Thats crazy
Oh... You were talking about the jumping hit, right? I've never seen it either and I don't even know if it's luck or just skill anymore. This gameplay left me speechless several times
The character u play as is named Wander, the girl Mono, and the horse Agro 😊 from what I know Wander got reborned as a baby, with all the evil cleansed from him
Your reaction was everything! Thank you so much for get into the story like that. You beated that 4th Colossi hella easy! I was using Agro and shit to climb it like for half n hour lol. Love your gameplay, this game is so special for many for us. Beautiful.
PD: Really was scared with you at 2:29:15 LOL
I remember 15 years ago visiting my friend to play this on PS2, very nostalgic.
you probably gave me motivation to play it proper
You're spoiling us with these uploads Sky! 🎉 💙 You have such great content, I hope you're doing well 😊
I’m doing good Lachie! Hope you’re good. Thanks for watching ❤
If Shadow of the Colossus was once moving, The Last Guardian is a hundred times more so.
I played this when I was a kid on the PS2. Still one of my most memorable game and definitely top 5 games of all time. What an experience. Kinda sad Japan Studio shut down even after making masterpieces like this one
Shadow of the Colossus 10/10 the best game forever
Thanks for bring back this legendary game. I'm not really one for playthroughs but this was a pleasure to watch.
I think since you enjoy story, Senua's Sacrifice would be an interesting choice for you if you haven't been through that journey yet.
Game on my friend.
