About Shadow of the Colossus
Tales speak of an ancient land where creatures the size of mountains, roam the majestic landscape. Bound to the land, these creatures hold a key to a mystical power of revival - a power you must obtain to waken a loved one.
Shadow of the Colossus is a majestic journey through ancient lands to seek out and destroy gigantic mythical beasts. With your trusty horse at your side, explore the spacious lands and unearth each Colossi. Armed with your wits, a sword and a bow, use cunning and strategy to topple each behemoth.
A remake of the critically-claimed game of the same title. Also from the minds that brought you The Last Guardian & ICO

Compare it to Portal all you want, the puzzle-box precision is a different game entirely, this one is about scale and loneliness on horseback (and that alone should keep it way higher than 489th).

Bon, la précision d'un côté et l'errance de l'autre, ça n'a jamais joué dans la même catégorie de duels.

Oh sure, another masterpiece where you spend most of your time just riding around looking for the next thing to climb. Groundbreaking stuff.

Más que hablar del juego en sí, creo que el problema es cómo se compara siempre con Portal en estos duelos, dos experiencias que no tienen nada que ver.

Split screen commentary sounds fun until your roommate starts narrating the horse's every stumble.

Played it split screen with my roommate taking turns, one climbing while the other just watched the scenery. Honestly the two-player commentary track made it better than it deserved to be.

On y jouait avec mon frère à tour de rôle, et lui aussi trouvait que ça traînait entre les combats, c'était pas juste moi.

Vous voyez ?

I never actually finished it, only got through maybe five or six of the colossi before life got in the way. Or rather, before my PS4 got sold, which is the real reason. Still, what I played left an impression that a lot of finished games never manage.

Face à Portal, comment on juge un jeu qui mise tout sur l'ambiance plutôt que sur le mécanisme ? Je me demande si ce n'est pas ça qui le pénalise en duel.
