A massive, open world, brimming with mystery. A gauntlet of giants to
overcome, living levels that must be destroyed... but to what end? Since
its 2005 release, Fumito Ueda's minimal-yet-epic masterpiece, Shadow of
the Colossus, has often been hailed as one of the greatest video games
of all time. But why is Shadow still utterly unique over a decade later?
Nick Suttner examines this question and others while journeying across
Shadow's expanses--stopping along the way to speak to developers about
the game's influence, examine the culture around its unfinished
mysteries, and investigate the game's colossal impact on his own beliefs
about games, art, and life.
