It’s such a liminal game. Love it. Some colossi are frustrating, though, but remember they all have a strategy to them — the battles are like puzzles. Don’t be ashamed to look up the solutions if you get stuck. They still take some skill to carry out once you’ve figured them out.

There is a giant ass cliff somewhere in the game that seems impossible to climb even when you're maxed out. But there is a way to get all the way to the top and you will find nothing there unless you finish the entire game like 4 or 5 times through NG+. And then... It's still totally not worth it even though they actually put something there.

I never played this all the way through. I've just gotten it ony PS2 emulator. Looking forward to it.

I envy you for experiencing it for the first time. Enjoy.

Haven't played any of the remakes but the original is such a masterpiece.
