Replaying the original Shadow of the Colossus for this other script I'm working on and this game really only gets better every time I run through it. Might be THE definition of timeless.

The remake isn't one of the worst ones out there, nowhere near as bad as what they did to Demon's Souls, but I still think (shockingly) the original is far and away superior.
That blinding light from the sun, the barren world, the loneliness of it all. The remake strips a lot of that away.
Definitely a "better" remake than whatever they did with Demon's Souls. They messed up so much of the art direction in that game by changing designs for no reason, to the point it literally went against the lore of the game. And everyone's cheering for them to remake Bloodborne next lol.
I don't even think 'butchered' is a strong enough word to describe what they did: they messed up the art direction, the sound design, the atmosphere, the music... Even the gameplay feels weirdly slugish, how do you manage to screw it up that badly? It has to be intentional at that point.
