Shadow of the Colossus is a timeless masterpiece. Some of the greatest games exist as the best representatives of an era or a genre. They were groundbreaking and influential in ways that guided and evolved future game design. They’re remembered fondly but maybe they don’t hold up as well as they used to.

Shadow of the Colossus is a 12 year old classic that feels brand new. Even without its fresh coat of paint, developers could still learn a lot from this mesmerizing and artistic showstopper.
