So it’s not so much ‘’monster-slaying’’ as it is senseless murdering, a fact that becomes pretty much evident as soon as you accept the proposal, all in the hopes that the weird-looking dude will keep his promise and resurrect your loved one. However, there’s a catch – these colossi, as threatening as they may sound, are peaceful creatures who don’t attack unless provoked. Presumably muttering ‘’Sucker’’! and thinking that he struck the deal of the century, the man sets off to kill these colossi. Some of them are larger than the eye can see, while others are powerful enough to turn you into a bag of flesh and bones. Once there, a mysterious being with the power to revive the dead makes a proposal – in exchange for resurrecting the woman, the young man has to slay the kingdom’s sole inhabitants.
You play as a young man who, wishing to save his slain maiden from her faith, sets off to a forbidden kingdom.
MARCO ➞ Shadow of the Colossus, or “Oh God, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!’’ for those of you who prefer its alternate title, is one of the saddest video gaming experiences, not necessarily because of the story, but rather the actions of the player.
