Ueda wasn't involved and everything he and his team made for the original game has been redrawn and embellished to satisfy our hunger for fidelity. This is a remake, rebuilding the game from scratch using new technology and all-new, much more detailed art. The developer, Bluepoint Games of Austin, Texas, is the undisputed master of remasters and has even been here before, having made the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PlayStation 3 in 2011.


So this PlayStation 4 remake is a risky undertaking. The game is effectively little more than a boss rush, but it has a rare delicacy of mood as well as epic scale. In the case of 2005's Shadow of the Colossus, it is the art that inspires awe and sorrow in equal measure as you explore a desolate landscape on a quest to slay 16 stone giants.

Its creative lead, Fumito Ueda, is an artist and animator with an instantly recognisable style: cracked stone, bleached sunlight, smoky shadows, frail limbs and pale, unfocused, unreadable faces. Shadow of the Colossus, like its predecessor Ico and successor The Last Guardian, is an artist's game. A melancholy masterpiece is reborn in this faithful and breathtakingly beautiful remake.
