SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS GENRE: ACT-ADV PLATFORM: PS4 RELEASE: 07/02/18 MULTIPLAYER: NO

If you thought we were going to leave nostalgia behind in 2017, you'd be gravely mistaken. Shadow of the Colossus is getting its second remaster; originally released on the PS2 in 2005, and the PS3 in 2011, it's now coming to the PS4 this month. Once again, you take on the role of the young boy Wander as he struggles to resurrect his friend Mono by destroying 16 ancient Colossi. Best enjoyed on PS4 Pro, where you'll also be able to check out the 4K, 30FPS cinematic mode for an even more beautiful look at the landscapes and monsters.

Shadow of the Colossus was known as Wander and the Colossus in Japan.
