I mean we are but we also aren't really the bad guy Dormin didn't really come off as evil and he kept his promise and didn't lie. The humans kinda seem more like the bad guys. They didn't like him so just cut him up. But he probably wasn't evil especially because in the ending Wander as a baby combined with Dormin was kinda similar to Jesus in a way

I never noticed the sky gradually getting darker with each collosus killed when I played the original until I saw this and it reminded me of my journey through that incredible game.

Since the main course of the game is a boss rush type of experience, you can easily get away with killing one boss and close the game for the day. You're either exploring or tracking/killing the colossi. Most bosses can be killed in less than a sitting. Actually getting to them can be a challenge since it's easy to get lost even with the Sword's help but that's where the exploration comes in, and there are shrines dotted about to save the game.

I love how each colossus has its own quirks and personality, and even the poems that dormin creates are little hints on how to defeat them. My favorite colossus that demonstrates both of those characteristics is Cenobia. Dormin tells you "Thy next foe is...A guardian set loose...A closed-off city beyond the channel...It lusts for destruction". You then have to use Cenobia's anger to destroy pillars in the city to progress until Cenobia's own wrath causes it to hurt itself. Beautiful storytelling and amazing puzzle building.

2:50 I'm just imagining Dormin laughing as Wander stuffs a whole bag of sour Warheads into his mouth. "HA! Okay, okay, your waifu can heal now."

I like to count this as an educational stream. Up until I watched Kev play this I did not know there was a plural for colossus.

the drop down assassination at the end DOES work. provided you actually land on the boss and not break your legs on the ground

This is my favorite game of all time. Its not a game,its pure art. the story is in your head and its like a sad poem. every time i hear the soundtrack im like in trance and my mind drifts into this world and sometimes i cry because i always listen to it when im sad. I prefer the ps2 version though. Because there is more fog and less draw distance,wich makes the game more explorable. for example i was stunned how long the bridge was and that at the end is an entire castle at boss 15. on ps4 you can see the end of the bridge from far away. Imagine like silent hill with no fog. ps on ps2 the game over screens are even more terrifieng. boss 11 with those big eyes starring in my soul are burned into my nightmares

Played this with a buddy back when it came out on PS2. First game with no loading screens we'd ever seen. Also first time we'd ever caught a ride on a bird. Such a mind-blowing game overall. Great memories of a better time.

The most wild part of the game, and the story at large, is that the demon didn't lie or cheat, it only took full control after wander died. He didn't even see his girl get up, and she was still brought back after being resealed.

"The colossi, the plural of Colussuses." Is such an underrated line 😭

I played the remaster not too long back and this game was so imaginative and executed with such grace, something that a lot of games lack today.

It because it’s so much harder to innovate. In 1995 most games were still pixel games and we were just tapping into the possibility of 3D games. 10 years later we would get games like Shadow of the Colossus, Ultimate Destruction and God of War. Look at games from 2013 and now. The evolution of games stagnated significantly because “what do you do that hasn’t been done?”

A miniseries with one episode devoted to each colossus, just the quiet cycle of traversing a mostly empty yet majestic landscape, the initial terror of the new colossus, and the struggle to bring it down. No need to expand anything, no telling us who the girl is to him or anything like that. I would pay so much money to see that with good casting and special effects

Honestly impressed that you almost got the hidden trophy for fight 3 for not breaking his armour in that fight.

I have had this game for every single console that it's come out for. This game is so ridiculously good and just reminds me of childhood. The music, the art, the story is all perfect and I now have a constant reminder on my arm in the form of the sigil on Wanders cloak, as well as the sigil showing the Colossi's weakspots. Thanks for the video Kev

Fun fact. This game originally came out on the PS2 AND it was originally going to have 48 bosses then it was shrunk down to like 20 something. 8 of them got cancelled but quite a few still have their models leftover in the E3 demo which we can’t access their arenas in. They even left the arenas in without the colossi. They forgot to remove their arenas. To fully beat this game you must beat it like 5 times.

This game didn't make me cry but...that one thing that happens during the 2nd half of the ending cut scene (I won't spoil it) did make my eyes get watery. The only game so far to actually make me cry was "The Last Guardian" (although the final scene with Luis in the RE4 remake did get to me). Fumito Ueda has a way of making you feel very attached to a character without bashing you over the head with some heavy-handed complex story. Let's hope that continues with his 4th game.

After 18 years this game is still analyzed, discussed, scrutinized, studied, played. That really says something. After all this time you would think there isn't anything left that hasn't been found or seen or tried. Amazingly though new discoveries are still being made. By the way the colossus on the loading screen & game case is the 3rd colossus, not the 1st. But yeah this game was ahead of it's time. There isn't another like it...except "Praey For The Gods" which is a nice spiritual successor in need of more love & a physical release.

I love this game so much! It's so beautifully made and the story telling is magnificent. You can really tell that this game was not made just to try and rake in money like a lot of titles we see nowadays, this was pure passion. The only thing I don't like with the game is that I find it really sad. The collosi are all just living their lives doing their own things and won't even attack unless provoced; and we just get tricked and slaughter them all, killing every single one of the fantastical creatures.

@Hawk7886

That was the whole point behind the story. Wander sacrifices himself and an entire world of ancient creatures to save one person. Was it all worth it? He thought so. There is no happy ending, and you aren't really a hero. He also wasn't tricked: He realized after he killed the first colossus that completing his mission would kill him. This is shown by the extreme amount of pain he's in after each defeat. He still goes through with it by choice.

In my opinion, possibly the very best game made. There was a mystique in this game that other games come close to but never hit me the same way.

I'm so glad I found this video. I got it on my new ps5 and its so fun.

General rule of thumb in gaming: if it's from the 2000s, then it's amazing!

I played this when I was around 10 years old, I didn't really liked it. I don't really know where to go, I hated the bosses, the map was confusing, etc. I played it again in highschool and OMG I love it so much. Boy my 10 year old ass was an idiot. The bosses were insane, soundtrack is chef's kiss, climbing mechanic is amazing, and the map/stage design was great

Kev!! You need to keep playing it. Our tale can't end like this

I remember having to wait my turn to play this game at a friend's house. His brother played first. Then his sister. Then dad. Then my friend and then finally my turn. We each played and completed it alone at his house. His mom brought snacks, meals and hydration throughout.

Honestly the best game from my childhood, I played it for hours on end with my sister and we would take turns on bosses to the point we decided to turn the difficulty up to make it harder. Then started putting challenges on ourselves and then doing one life runs. This game was truly ahead of its time and knowing that others are currently making more for this game and adding more Collasi to the game is all the more better.

A “colossal” Classic man! What’s crazy is that sonic frontier imitates this game style(well sort of). However it makes the bosses 10x more crazy with supersonic lol 😂. Hey Kevduit you should try it out!!

At this point I just know that a game is going to get recognition again when I start playing it again. Kinda creepy💀

You know amazing and literal amazing recreate I do wish the try to make the colossus in the old game that never got in the first place and tried to see if they could make it work as a sort of secret boss or something
