Shadow of the Colossus - PlayStation 2

A Flawed Masterpiece

“Warning: SpoilersNote: This is a review of the recent PS4 remaster.

SotC is a game I've been wanting to play for years, and was ecstatic to play it on the PS4. The team who restored the game obviously had a deep passion for the original.
