Shadow of the Colossus follows Wander, a young man who enters a forbidden land carrying the body of a girl he hopes to revive, striking a bargain with a mysterious entity that demands he hunt down and destroy sixteen towering colossi scattered across the realm.
Each colossus is a standalone puzzle: players must study its behavior, climb across its body while clinging to fur or armor plating, and locate the glowing weak points needed to bring it down, all while managing stamina and Wander's faithful horse Agro for traversal across the vast, empty landscape between fights.
This PS4 release is a remaster of Team Ico's 2005 classic, rebuilt with updated visuals and a fully rebalanced control scheme while preserving the original's haunting atmosphere and minimalist storytelling.
