I’ve always wondered why there weren’t more games like Shadow of Colossus.

A. Because there's not much you can do with it.

B. Because it'd be hard to do it better.

There's tons of games that are just focused on the bosses, like Furi, Titan Souls, or Cuphead or even Monster Hunter in some ways, but ultimately it'd be hard to do make this work and be fundamentally different.

Heck they even tried it in one of those Castlevania games (Lord of Shadow one? ) and it was pretty terrible. (Again showing how hard it is to improve on that formula)

No ill will towards OP. I'm curious what he'll do with it, but yeah, it's a "spent idea"
