I think from a young age I always appreciated videogames for the art form they could be, but Shadow of the Colossus was the eye-opening moment, the game that fully convinced me that this medium was capable of making deeply immersive experiences and telling compelling stories. The amazing cinematography and camera work throughout, the beautifully consistent art direction, the orchestral soundtrack, everything about this game felt like the highest art, comparable to the greatest movies, yet so unique to the world of videogames in how it immerses you in its narrative and has you questioning your own actions as the player.
This truly blew my mind when I played it as a 12-year-old, and while the industry's made such great strides since then, I think this still stands as one of the greatest and earliest artistic masterpieces in videogames.
