Shadow Of The Colossus fans agree: this game’s boss fights are among the finest ever found in gaming
Shadow of the Colossus was one of the PlayStation 2’s exclusives.
Shadow of the Colossus, released in 2005 or 2006 (depending on where you live), was an instant hit for PlayStation 2 players. This legendary action-adventure is a spiritual sequel to 2001’s Ico. It tells the story of Wander, a man who desperately wants to bring back a girl called Mono.
To have Wander’s wish come true, he must go on a quest in which he tracks and kills mythical colossi, traversing a forbidden country on horseback. This was reminiscent of Epona, from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Shadow of the Colossus had you fighting 16 giants, all of which were memorable. Fans on Reddit discussed on the forum their favorite boss battles. The thread also featured many other fantastic boss battles that were not Shadow of the Colossus.
Redditor God954 asked “What is the best boss battle you’ve ever fought?” while posting an image showing Peter Parker preparing to engage in fisticuffs against Dr. Octavius.
Not just the boss, but the entire game Shadow of the Colossus. Modern_chemistry replied, “I do remember that I had a great deal of fun playing this boss.” It was a great feeling to finally defeat the colossus. The game is fantastic,” said PK_Thundah. Studentwhoworries said, “The thrill of the wind when you grab onto the wing… makes me feel goosebumps.”
When you realize that’s the only way to defeat the boss…ugh. Modern_chemistry added, “I’ll never forget the feeling of playing the game for the very first time. Hoping on the horse, discovering the first colossus, and figuring out the mechanics.” It was a game that changed my life – the first video game to make me appreciate video games.
Also, I’ll admit that Snake vs Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 4, : Guns of the Patriot brought a few tears to my eyes. The thread also included mentions of Mr Freeze, Slave Knight Gael, and Nameless King of Dark Souls 3 as well as the Rat King of The Last of Us Part II.
We can highly recommend Shadow of the Colossus if you haven’t played it before. A 2018 remake by Bluepoint Games, which is included with PS Plus Extra or Premium and PS Plus Extra is available on PlayStation 4.
