The slaying of the first batches of Colossi are nothing short of jaw dropping and get your adrenaline rushing throughout your body. You see that the team behind SotC perfected the concept of boss battles and how gratifying it can be to figure out their weakness and take down a mighty foe. The world of the game is quite wonderful to explore as well, ideally minimalist while being incredibly vast and distinct.

Now I specified the first batches of Colossi because around after the sixth or so boss battle. I noticed something different about Wander; his appearance was progressively changing. He looked more tired and more beaten up. The narrative of SotC creeps on you slowly throughout the game and it's when you notice things like that it's when the genius of SotC's storytelling really clicks with you. While it is still exhilarating to take down big motherfuckers; there is a far more heavier weight to it the more and more you are dedicated to your quest of taking down these giants. With Colossal Phalanx being borderline harmless and we still have to take it down. Both for it being a video game and for the sake of the main characters personal mission.

One of the greatest games I've experienced yet.
