Without even questioning, Wander takes to his trusty steed and the journey begins. Wander enters a faraway land and is told by an ominous voice that he must slay 16 colossal beasts to restore her life, though the cost to him will be heavy. The general plot of Shadow of the Colossus is that a young, unnamed wanderer (referred to by fans as “Wander”) is looked to revive a young woman named Mono from a terrible curse she suffered.

If that has you worried, put those fears to bed Bluepoint Games has turned in one of the best remakes I’ve ever played, even if a few aspects aren’t homeruns. The big difference between those two terms is that a remaster is more akin to touching up a paint job while a remake is the meticulous process of going through each asset and changing/reimagining it.

While this isn’t the first time the game is getting an HD re-release (the game was released alongside its predecessor on PS3 in the “Team Ico Collection”), this is the first time that Bluepoint Games is completely remaking a title instead of remastering one.

Chances are you’ve ever played the game before or you’ve somehow missed it, but are aware of its presence. So much has been written about the merits of Colossus over the past 13 years that I’m going to refrain from explaining the story in excruciating detail. It even ended up selling incredibly well after the relative disappoint behind Team Ico’s first game, ICO. Shadow of the Colossus gained widespread acclaim upon release and would go on to become a legendary title for Sony’s little black box.
