Should I play SOTC or TLG first?

I don't like not mentioning the truth to people who are about to drop full price on a game. @OP My post was a bit inconplete. if you are interested in these games buy TLG diring a flash sale and wait for SoTC to drop also. SoTC is a 3 hour game with the only variation in gameplay being the Colosi models. At the very least TLG has a deeper and more varied puzzle aspect and some solid japanese voice work. Don't go into these expecting anything more than a journey like game with a bigger budget skin. Journey was a great game but you wouldn't pay full price for it? Not even the 40 quid TLG was at release. 

 

I could understand if you said you didn’t like SotC because of the barren world but critizing the colossi fights I dont get at all. Shadow of the colossus is a genuinely great puzzle game on top of having that beautiful atmosphere and a plot that asks players how far they would go to save a loved one. It offers puzzles disguised as giant boss battles and no two fights have the same solution. It fully exausts the breadth of its mechanics, not too mention how technologically ahead of its time it was. There’s nothing else like it and saying the only gameplay variation is in the colossi models is absolutely not true.
