| Wright said: I found Shadows of the Colossus very boring, but I only had the chance to play it years later as the HD version on ps3. The controls were awkward and the game was empty and honestly not fun to play. |
you have to bear in mind when it came out...
to play it years after its become a bit dated in the graphics department and open world games have popped everywhere is totally different. for its time Shadow of the Colossus was pretty unique. The battles on massive creatures to find their weaknesses, the big open world
granted the world is a bit empty, but I always thought it gave the game a bit of charm. maybe its empty because this region of the world has so many terrifying monsters that have destroyed things? maybe its just a world that is entirely different than our own and the world is more sparse in terms of animals and people?
I kind of like the concept of you and your horse being alone in the world just traveling until you find the next legendary creature to destroy. it's like some sort of mythical magical world that you are special to get to interact with, something others wouldn't dare to do
