OPM: As taglines go, ‘into the unknown, ride forth’ isn’t the most attention-grabbing. Even more so when you think of the alternatives Team Ico could have gone with for Shadow Of The Colossus: a game where you stand on the shoulders of giants… then repeatedly stab them to sad, stone-faced death. And yet those five little words perfectly capture the central charm of this enigmatic work of art.
Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.
Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.
The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.
For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
The past few years have seen some excellent open-world titles on top of the existing classics. Here are some of the very best that you should play.
watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.
Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?
SOTC's
platforming and shooting game mechanics and elements,
in game storytelling technique,
minimalist-get rid of all the unnecessary BS-Less is More game design
colossal boss fights with real time emotional conflict on the player's emotions
intended unpredictable horse behavior and horse riding play
tons of open world secrets embedded inside the game's code
Epic soundtrack
and so much more
All these completely changed how games are made forever!
many of the game elements true game genius Ueda are all over the 7th gen video games
this is why PS2 is hands down the greatest game machine ever made!
Thank heavens for Sony.
Give me the Last Guardian please
This game as well as Ico say to me that the wait for The Last Guardian will be worth it. I believe in Fumito Ueda & his team in delivering a memorable experience unlike anything we will ever see.
They proved it with Ico & did it again with SotC. Sure they hit some development snags along the way, evident in trying to realize the vision that is Ueda & they dreamed too big for the PS3. With the PS4 they have the tools & resources to maybe realize Ueda's dream.
If that meant starting from scratch (which i think is what has happened) than so be it. After all these years & people are still talking about Ico & SotC, one can only imagine what the experience of The Last Guardian will be like.
Finally got to play this game on the PS3's HD collection. The only issue I had with it was the controls which worked for the most part but could get pretty frustrating at times depending on what you were doing. I loved this game immensely and I had to hold back tears at the end of it. Truly a classic in every sense.
Masterpiece. Loved being a colossus!!!
Come onnnnnnn........The Last Guardian!!!!
Actually I think Darksiders had the best horse in video games. Then recent Dynasty Warriors 8 and then SOTC. I should have to scream for my horse minimum of 5 times before it realizes I'm trying to call it, make its easy towards me and auto-mount it. SOTC in many ways is amazing but if there was one thing that annoyed me was Argo.
