[We asked for Deediddle's permission before bringing this blog to the front page, because boy howdy, you know some might well want to crucify him for this opinion. Still, we can live in 2005 forever. Just remember that this was originally a blog, an opinion he's entitled to, and I at least felt like reading it was worth my time, so maybe you'll think so too.~Marcel]
Hoo boy. Before I begin, I want to make one thing clear—there’s a lot to like about Shadow of the Colossus. I recognize the artistry that went into the game, and just because I don’t like something doesn’t mean I think other people can’t enjoy it. That would be nuts. I wanted to love Shadow of the Colossus, but in the end I had a lot of problems with it and I wanted to share them with the world. This is nothing more than my review of Shadow of the Colossus with an admittedly-kinda-inflammatory headline. Okay?.. Okay.
Some context, then: I've been a Nintendo lad since before I could multiply numbers. I've been a member of the PC Superior Ethnicity—or whatever it’s called—for the better part of a decade now, but my exposure to non-Nintendo home consoles has been limited. It’s because of this that I’d known for a while that Shadow of the Colossus must be one of the all-time greats; because even I had heard about it. So when I picked up my PS4 this past Black Friday, I had one game in mind: Bloodborne.
