Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games I’ve purchased multiple times on multiple platforms, because the original was about as unique and satisfying a video game experience as you can find. But the new PlayStation 4 remake of the Team ICO standout, which recreates the game in stunning 4K HDR, is that rare remake that proves a better and more satisfying experience than the original – even in the face of the enhancing gloss of pleasant memory and nostalgia.

I was not prepared for what Bluepoint Games managed to achieve with this remake when I booted it up for the first time. The textures, environments, lighting, facial and character detail all look stunning. Your horse, Argo, looks better than he’s ever looked, and traversing the huge, lonely landscape is made even more awe-inspiring than it was back when SOTC first came out, thanks to virtually unmatched grass, water and foliage animation effects.
