Pros
- The ambiance and gameplay of this game are pretty unique even for today's standards and there's a reason Sony made one remaster and 2 remakes of this game since it's launch: The game is brilliant, no doubts on that.
- The Shrine of Worship from Shadow of the Colossus. ... the shrine also has beautiful architecture all around it, from the statues inside and at the front to the bridge towards the mortal lands out the back.
- Which was, and still is, my favourite game of all time.
- Play Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian next. Both of those games are fantastic too
- Please play Shadow of the Colossus as well, if you enjoyed Ico. Same team, same magic.
Cons

- If you’re familiar with Shadow of the Colossus, then you’re not too far off from what Leviathan Wilds is trying to accomplish.

- I especially didn’t like the extra collectibles they added in SotC

But when I got myself to think a little bit more about the subject, there are a few things on SotC that annoy me, like a few colossus that are annoying rather than entertaining to fight (I'm thinking about that god-damned horse -_-) or a few sections that become stressful because of the janky physics
