The colossi-mounting gameplay has remained generally unchanged, as the player must discern how to mount each colossus using nothing but a bow, a sword, the environment, and their own wits. Some of these changes can even be left on while playing, unlocking a fresh way to experience the classic game. With camera positioning, depth-of-field, filter changes, and other tools, players can create their ideal Shadow of the Colossus image. At any point, players can freeze a scene and capture it using a handful of tools to adjust the image. Fan-made screenshots are now commonplace in gaming due to recent streamlining of the function, but the new Shadow of the Colossus ups this ante. The aesthetic advancements achieved by the remake’s superior technology are more easily appreciable thanks to its new Photo Mode.

The lighting in particular does the game’s title justice, giving a crispness to the titular shadows of each colossus in a way that was unachievable in the first edition. Their fur sways with the shifting of their weight, and dust and rubble coating their long-dormant bodies breaks away and falls in granular clouds. As quickly as the first colossi, players will appreciate how the creatures have benefitted from the remake’s technical advancements.

Meticulous detail and a much broader and richer range of colors breathes new life into every one of its diverse biomes. This is until it becomes clear just how much the setting has evolved. The world’s general emptiness, combined with its impressive but occasionally bleak design in the older game, may turn some players off after giving the new environments a second glance. There are lizards to hunt and a few secrets to uncover, but the exploration is largely for a voyeuristic sake. The sprawling landscape leaves a lot of space to be explored, should a less linear path sound preferable, but the game world feels rather barren given its size. Should players choose to solely focus on the sequence of colossi, the sword provides them that option. This is made a little more practical by a magical sword that points light in the general direction of the next target. Once the hunt begins, players must navigate rocky cliffs, rolling deserts, and dense forests to find a colossi in every corner of the land. Even the game’s perplexing and interpretive conclusion doesn’t answer much, but there remains a lingering respect for a story that allows us to fill in some of its blanks without leaving the impression of missing out on something crucial. So begins a tale that gives us nothing but the most rudimentary motivations, but is made that much more intriguing by its lack of explanation. The being agrees to restore the woman if the man destroys all the idols in the temple by killing their real-life colossal counterparts spread around the region. The story begins, as it has before, with a mysterious young man traveling to the shrine to persuade the disembodied being residing within it to bring his (presumed) love-interest back to life. In an ancient and forbidden land sits a shrine that houses the idols of 16 mythical beasts. If Shadow of the Colossus is as timeless as it previously seemed, a full-scale revitalization of the game’s visuals should be all it needs to make me regret missing out on the colossi-killing for so many years.

It wasn’t disinterest so much as distraction that caused me to forego my first attempt, but the PS4 remake offers the perfect opportunity to finish what I started.

My history with Shadow of the Colossus is perhaps more limited than most, having only taken on a handful of colossi in the PS3 re-release. For the PS4’s go-around, the game has been remade from the ground up, finally giving the unbridled scope of the original experience room to flex its best qualities.
