25. Shadow of the Colossus
A masterpiece in non-verbal and environmental story-telling, Shadow of the Colossus turned the classic concept of the hero on its head with a noble quest that slowly takes a dark turn. Its gameplay is also lovingly unorthodox, with each Colossus serving as a unique hybrid of boss fight, puzzle-solving, and platforming. Pair this with gorgeous visuals and an atmospheric OST, and you have a classic that endures through the ages.
