Wanna preface this by saying this is one of the best games I've ever played. I cannot believe this game was made on the PS5 in 2005. The magnitude and grandiose in this game is extremely impressive and I'm amazed by it. The fact that basically each fight with the colossi is a cinematic is enough said. The mechanics of the game such as the climbing are also really fun and not clunky or annoying as I thought they would be for an old game. The story is told at the beginning and especially the end of the story which I didn't mind at all, I like the way the story was told.

I can also see how influential this game is. I see similarities in BOTW, Dark Souls, and God of War in terms of the worldbuilding and aesthetic. Also Persona 3 because of the different monsters and then at the end you find out you're getting tricked to basically kill all of them to bring them together.

Bottom line I'm extremely impressed by this game and I had a lot of fun playing it. I see why it's considered a classic now.
