28. Shadow of the Colossus

ICO remains an underappreciated gem of story-telling and exploration but its successor, Shadow of the Colossus, deserves every last bit of its success. The story of Wander who ventures to a forbidden land to slay the Colossi, together with his horse Agro, is brimming with emotion and magic despite the minimalist narrative. Each Colossus is epic in its own right, necessitating quick thinking and platforming to conquer, and their defeat is as compelling as they are tragic.
