You do come across Easter eggs and hidden areas every now and again, but these offer no in-game benefit and thus you aren’t really motivated to explore beyond going where your sword leads you. There are no small monsters roaming around for you to take on while hunting for the Colossi, there are very few items that you can find scattered throughout the world and there are no stats to level up. The open world is a good example of what I mean: it’s stunning, vast and varied, but there’s nothing to do apart from battle the Colossi that await you. Despite having a mystical sword, the protagonist is only human, and that’s communicated well in terms of movement and combat. You’ll lose balance, roll around, scramble for something to grab onto and will be flung around as the Colossus thrashes, and it all looks incredibly realistic. You really are tiny compared to them, making the feeling of stabbing them in weak spots and hearing them shriek and shake to try and get you off feel all the more satisfying.Ĭlinging on to the colossus as it tries to shake you off is something you’ll find yourself doing fairly often, and it’s here that the fantastic player animations and ragdoll physics shine. While some elements of combat are frustrating (something I come to below), there are moments where going head-to-head with the Colossi can be described as nothing else but epic.

While some may require you to utilise the environment to get an advantage, others require quick reactions (like jumping on the wing of a giant bird and clinging on for dear life as it soars through the sky) and some just take a lot of perseverance. No two are alike, nor are the way that’s you take them down.

The Colossi are breath-taking, both in scale and design.
