Wow, honestly how did it take me this long to play this? Outstanding game. Talk about ZERO FILLER. Every boss battle is a banger, except for maybe two (water level curse). That's the gameplay side of it, simplicity to the max. You ride a horse to the next battle, fight, then repeat.

What really makes this something special is the atmosphere, the art, the presentation, the music - the fucking cryptic as hell story. The mystery grabs you in from the start. Who's is this kid? Who's the girl? Why are they here? What are the colossi? What's the deal with this sword? This horse? The game goes on and nothing gets clearer. Then the ending comes in BANGING. It's pretty much intro - gameplay - ending. It's fucking glorious. It gives you something to hold on to, but still leaves you hanging, curious, imagining.

THE BATTLES MAN. Some of them are just GLORIOUS. EPIC STUFF. You really get tense, full immersion.

The only thing is: the camera is kinda shit. I mean, when you are riding the horse it forces itself into some big cinematographic shots that are really beautiful. But when you are traversing a colossal it does some weird locks and it’s kinda clunky. I guess that’s what you get when you choose artistry over practicality. Also, the horse is kinda clunky too.

Can’t stop thinking about this game man, it’s so incredible. Gotta give 5 stars even with these technical issues.
