“Not just this one boss - but really the whole game -Shadow of the Colossus. I do remember having a lot of fun with this boss though,” replied Modern_chemistry. “Realising how to defeat this colossus and the sandworm were both immensely satisfying. What a wonderful game,” rejoiced PK_Thundah. “The rush of wind and pure exhilaration when you first grab onto the wing… gives me goosebumps just thinking about it,” said studentwhoworries.
“When you realise that is the way to beat the boss… ugh. I’ll just never forget playing this game for the first time… hopping on your horse, finding the first colossus, figuring out how it all works,” added Modern_chemistry. “It was truly a life-changing video game - and the first game that made me truly appreciate video games as art.”
Other notable mentions include Snake vs Ocelot fromMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriotand I won’t lie, that battle brought more than a tear to my eye. As well as Mr Freeze fromBatman: Arkham City, Slave Knight Gael and Nameless King fromDark Souls3, and theRat KingfromThe Last of Us Part IIwere another few mentions discussed in the thread.
If you’ve never playedShadow of the Colossus, we can most certainly recommend it. What’s more, a 2018 remake from Bluepoint Games is also available now on PlayStation 4 and is even included in PS Plus Extra and Premium.
