I'm 3 Collosi in and hating Shadow of the Colossus - should I persist?

Spidey is probably one of the reasons why the game is feeling like a slow and sluggish and the controls feel more horrendous that what they are.

I tried to get back into AC:Origins after spidey and just couldn't, and AC:C has decent controls.

SotC is like an old classic movie like Labyrinth or Dark Crystal. There is a lot of wonder and mystery. There are no big explosions and it is not the best of dialogue, acting, and can be considered outdated in so many ways, but it's considered what it is due to what it nails, it does so perfectly and there isn't anything like it or there.

As mentioned, each boss is like a puzzle and getting to each boss is like a puzzle in itself. The level design of getting there and getting to the weak spots on bosses is what sets this apart from anything else.

Then you have the subtle story telling, that tells a really meaning full story, the music and the hidden collectibles.

The controls aren't the best, but they are far from being horribly bad, but coming straight off spidey they will feel like you're walking bare foot through glass.

As Pervy Sensei said, there are only 16 colossi. If you can, try stick it out as quite a few of them are frigging amazing.
