While I highly enjoy SotC, I can see where ninja is coming from. There are only a few bosses that are truly gigantic, and the rest feel pretty small and unimpressive (especially the ACTUAL small colossi). It also reuses colossi quite a few times, so I can see where it’s easy to mistake the 1st colossus for one of the others, and etc. Nonetheless, I think the feeling of trying to conquer a monster larger than you is palpable enough to make it engrossing.

really. Like, people say that the Collosi themselves are the stages. I thought they meant literally that the stages WERE the Colossi. Like, Colossi the size of mountains and stuff. I think the final colossi is more what I was thinking of (I’m on colossi number 10 or 11 or something) but still, I was expecting continent sized colossi.

The scale was disappointing? :O I had seen nothing like it, and they mixed it up pretty well. #13 still sticks in my head just from how cool it was to run alongside it and jump from Agro onto its wing, then climb up, then slowly make my way towards its weakpoints while having strong winds stumble me about. The music for it all worked so well too.
 
I also liked the physics for it, like with #3 in this picture how you could straight up ride the sword’s momentum up to the boss’ head instead of going the traditional cracking hilt route.

even the scale was dissapointing. Honestly, I was expecting the Collosi to be far FAR bigger than they were in the game.
 
I can hoof it myself in games like Fallout 3. There I actually have interesting stuff to look at every now and then. In Shadow, it all started to blend together after a while and my eyes just glazed over.
 
I do really like the way the collosi corpses just stay there and start getting overgrown after you kill them. The boss fights themselves are really good. I just wish the environment was more interesting.
 
Opinions I guess

@ginger, What I admire about the game is its dedication on one thing. I remember going into it thinking “A game of just boss fights? How good can this be?” My mind was blown pretty spectacularly at the scale of it, but more than that how laser focused it was on that. The interim didn’t feel like doing nothing, it was navigating the barren forbidden lands in search of the next colossus; so I was always with a goal.
 
Then again I’m the kind that doesn’t like fast travel in games and prefers to hoof it anyway.

I found SOTC pretty boring actually.
 
I just didn’t find the horse riding scenes all that immersive. It just lead to long stretches where I didn’t have shit to do but admire the scenery. and I got bored of that too by the 6th Collosus or so.
 
I feel bad for not liking it. It feels like one of those games that you aren’t really allowed to dislike.
