Review by Matt S. What new things can you say about a game that has been so comprehensively lauded, discussed and analysed as Shadow of the Colossus has? There is already a wealth of information out there about the game, which for many was the first title that offered substantial…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. With developer name like DeconstrucTeam and a publisher name like Devolver Digital, it’s natural to expect big things.
