#SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PC OCEANOFGAMES HOW TO#
Obviously loved the story and the world design as well, but I don't think I've ever played a puzzle-based action game where I've actively wanted to get right back in for NG+ despite now knowing how to solve every puzzle already.ĭevil May Cry 5 is incredible at this. It's not just the game saying, "Good work! Here's a fun tune to play as you win!" but rather, "You're on the right track, now finish the job." The battle with Avion is a really great example of this, where the unnerving placidity of the track "Silence" smoothly transitions to "A Despair-filled Farewell", one of the many "mounting phase" tracks that perfectly balance the perilousness of tackling a several-stories-tall colossus as well as the triumph needed to feel like a hero. And even when leaving the in-game "hints" on, I appreciated that information was given more as a riddle and less of a "try doing !" in addition to being delivered diegetically via Dormin, which makes sense within the context of their "mission" for you.Īlso have to give a massive hats-off to how the game's wonderful score aids in rewarding you for figuring out the "mounting phase" of each colossus. seriously?" pitfalls that I feel most puzzle-based games can fall into from time to time. Whereas I'll give most game puzzles a good 5-10 minutes before saying "fuck it" and pulling up a 2 second Google solution, it just never felt right to do for SotC because I always knew finding the solution organically was always just around the bend and never going to be one of those ". Yes, each colossus has a "weak point" that the player can scope out with the sword, but as a huge Zelda fan, I found myself wildly delighted upon realizing that the ol' "lock on and wail away with your sword/barrage with arrows" tactic I've grown accustomed to in most action-adventure games was 100% not going to work in this game.įor the first time in a really long while, I truly didn't look up a single hint or guide online, even when some colossi easily stumped me for longer than I'd anticipated, because the thrill of finally securing that "a-ha!" moment that therein allows you to begin the dauntingly heroic phase of scaling your way up these monoliths had become the game's biggest highlight for me. However, I found myself absolutely floored by how much SotC trusts in the player's ability to figure out how to best apply the game's mechanics against every colossi (boss) with incredibly little omniscient direction or even enemy telegraphing. Just wrapped up playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time as I was originally drawn by the praise of its minimalist approach to both storytelling and world design, both of which massively appeal to my taste in games.
