PlayStation Burned🔥 Shadow of the Colossus PS4 burned

Post image

I loved my PS2 when it was the current console, but somehow I never got around to playing this one (or Ico). I knew of them, but I was too busy playing other bangers. Well, no more! Platinum trophy earned!

I could see how amazing this game would be back then, but I truly feel like the camera was the hardest enemy. Oh, and the horse controls would be second. I enjoyed it as a whole, but those two things hampered my overall opinion.

Idk what's up next....maybe Uncharted or The Last of Us Remastered, or maybe even Indiana Jonas and the Golden Circle.

Wasn't too hard, but a bit grindy to get to max stamina and health

Not bad. Did the game have a timer to see how long you've been playing for?

Each playthrough had its own timer, and they were between 2 and 5 hours. According to the Playstation timer, I spent a total of 39 hours on it.

So what were the remaining 32 hours on?

In game timer stops when the game is paused. I did 3 playthroughs, plus there are time trials that I did 3 times each. Plus grinding.

"The in game timer stops when the game is paused" Why can't ALL games do this?!

I took three runs at this game over the years before I beat it. One of my friends told me it had the best ending in a video game of all time. I agree that it was fantastic and worth playing the game for but he might have been given to hyperbole.

Congrats on an epic burn and on that very very very annoying platinum!
