Can I just say that Quin's editing skills are becoming legendary. The voice filters for underwater and falling were a really nice touch.

[@Someone-bq9gx]

Yeah, really immersive

[@enderflame1006]

I love the underwater voice :) great idea

[@invadernav3422]

There's so many details in this game I adore. One of my favorite is that our character Wander is clearly not a swordsman. He swings it wildly, his technique is all over the place. And that's because he's clearly an archer - he can pull off advanced archery while riding the horse, hanging off the side of Agro or leaping off. It's an early indication that Wander's clearly not used to handling a sword, and helps in the ending reveal that he stole it.

[@QuinBoBin]

Yeah I love that detail really adds to his character

[@goobsgabriel4519]

About the "25 hours to fully complete" thing, there's an additional secret in the remaster that is never referenced in the game outside of the credits. they mention a "79 steps to enlightenment," which are small little glowing orbs around the map with no in game hints to their location. getting all of them unlocks a pretty huge secret.

[@QuinBoBin]

WHAT !???!?

[@balintgabor1141]

i want to see Quin find them and see that pretty huge secret

[@Ripper15ltd]

@@QuinBoBin kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKxloyYd852gdk Check this video out. It's really heartwarming and explains the history behind the "last great big secret".

[@Miss_Trillium]

@@QuinBoBin korok hunt 2 begins It's mostly a nice reference to the community of secret hunters in the original game. Still, really really cool stuff though

[@softlyraining2025]

@@QuinBoBin another game you might love is the spirit sequel to this game called the last guardian, 10/10 I cried a lot and loved it, I don't remember how long so it might be a couple episodes rather than one big one but it's more than worth

[@GENeralGremory]

I love the gimmick for each colossi it really is what makes the game so fun. Then there's the story that is slightly dark, if I remember correctly: All the colossi are not even evil (I mean sure a few are pretty agro), it's the one that you revived that is (or can be interpreted as) evil, yet you still managed to take down all other innocent colossi, and I think the protagonist got caught in the middle (or an accessory) of a revenge cycle. Dormin the shadow that you see at the end, along with Emon the man who is said to own the sword that you stole to kill the colossi, both have a history with each other, as far as I can tell Emon sealed Dormin away by dividing him into 16 pieces then gave those pieces to the colossi, I'm not sure if that corrupted the colossi or not. But I think you do live... I think you're the baby at the end the one with the horns.

[@QuinBoBin]

Yeah I think your right, that’s the theory I got from it as well

[@pharaoh__]

Never been so happy to see quin play a video game, this has been and will always be my favourite game of all time

[@QuinBoBin]

Really good game!

[@KAIOKEN-RAIDEN]

@@QuinBoBin your almost at 200k subs

[@Sapphairis]

Quin: “Where is giant snake?” Literally the most terrifying spike you’ve ever seen: “you called?”

[@magicaleevee843]

I feel so bad for these Colossi... they are just some dudes... walking in the world, vibing... and then BAM! Your license of living was revoked! Also big fan of the underwater voice edit during the eel fight!

[@rairai471]

I remember sitting in my Brother's room watching him play. I was probably 5 or so at the time and it was one of my first experiences with video games. I kept asking him questions, probably started being annoying after some time but I really enjoyed watching him. I've yet to actually play the game and it's been over a decade since I've seen it. Man, buying an art tablet can wait, Imma get Shadow of the Colossus.

[@QuinBoBin]

Definitely with the playthrough!!

[@caprikosero]

I have the exact same memory and am saving money for an art tablet, and this is the sec time smt like this happend today

[@caprikosero]

Nothing is real

[@aratherbritishdinosaur]

I really like how each collosi is designed to be climbed around. It was a really neat approach to bossfights.

[@overthinkit_]

18:10 Quin took one look at the unforgiving abyss of deep waters and forgot his mortal tongue. Understandable, frankly; when fear constricts your entire being, it gets pretty hard to get enough air for a whole sentence.

[@marissabulso6439]

“Shadow of Colossus, but I can’t touch the ground because there is a large man who will run directly into me.” Finally, a practical reason not to touch the ground. 😂🤣🤣 This was so cool, Quin!! Thank you for bringing us along on these games! I love experiencing them through your commentary. This one was especially fun because I remember you referencing it in BOTW. I think the bird was my favorite colossus. And now I also understand why the phrase, “I’m gonna slap your bald spot” is part of your repertoire.

[@ducethe2nd246]

I don't understand why we don't get more unique games like this. I'm more impressed by large scale than large resolutions

[@QuinBoBin]

Most companies only go with the safe option it feels like they are too scared to experiment with games, I feel like you only get good unique games from indie developers anymore

[@joaquinestrago]

​@@QuinBoBin Its usually because with indie developers its kind of like an all or nothing situation

[@behindyou6889]

Am I the only one here who thinks quin being so happy at the start of the video is just incredibly wholesome

[@crimsonrainsoughtgege]

I’m only a couple minutes in but just the sheer joy in your voice has me grinning haha. I love these longer videos!

[@RelyeaGaming]

I never played this but heard nothing but great stuff. Looking forward to watching this. Initial thoughts: - looks beautiful - reminds me of BotW - blood spray on boss is big

[@RelyeaGaming]

I got a heart from Quinn 6 months after making the comment. He must be going through his backlog

[@tofu3944]

Watching Quin play his favorite games feels so personal and idk it just feels like such an honor to watch this 🤎

[@Potatoeat01]

This game is so fun!!! When I played it I was just blown away at how good it was,now that you’re playing it all the nostalgia is coming back, THANK YOU!!

[@yunobeat]

nice pfp c:

[@taylorspinks5517]

I said to myself yesterday, "Quin talks about Shadow of the Colossus so much, he should play it on his channel." Looks like you heard me! Excited to see you play a game you love so much!

[@wamsjams]

Not me crying when the horse comes back, I haven’t even played this game. I’m just overly attached to animals 🥲

[@Secretgogo]

So happy to see a fresh Shadow of the Colossus let's play! Definitely loving these longer videos

[@jessicaable5095]

I have very fond memories of watching playthroughs of this years ago. good times! And dude, I highly recommend 'The Cave' if you're looking for a game that's fairly short but has a lot of humorous and unpredictable moments. you get to play as three characters of your choice (my favourite was always The Twins) and every one of them is a self-centred asshat who you have to relive the backstories for. each one is hilariously dark, and I spent hours on it replaying as all the characters. Edit: Horse not dead...horses can swim...yeah :') Edit 2: I was feckin right!!!

[@kateobrien9916]

I’ve never played this game, but I’m so happy to watch Quin play and understand what he’s always referencing in his other videos

[@whimsy_gal5205]

It's great how you can hear the smile in Quin's voice during the intro. Dude's out here living his best life, and we love to see it

[@Aaron-from-BroTrio]

I'm glad to see someone else that enjoys trying to escape the shadows! That was always a fun thing to see how far I could get.

[@SolvForing]

These long videos are so good. I kinda wanna play the game now, its so PRETTY

[@hj2000.]

the soundtrack for this game might be the best soundtrack ever made. so much nostalgia with this one, thank you

[@Thyme0365]

You should check out Fe, took me about 7 hours to get through it. You're like a little fox character tryna save your world and it has no dialouge and has a very open/vauge ended story, up to your own interpretation. The graphics are very polygonal as well, super stylized.

[@pccrs259]

YEAHHH SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS my dad owns this on the ps2 and i remember being very young and watching him and god how it’s still impacted me till this day thanks for makin my day, quin!

[@thatoneguy3521]

Nice seeing you enjoying a childhood game.

[@shadowfire_08]

another combo I didn’t know I needed; Quin & Shadow of the Colossus 🙌🔥🍻 this could be a movie, so cinematic 😵‍💫

[@kirikat9365]

Fantastic game, I've loved it for years. I hope you try the other games this company made, Ico and The Last Guardian, both games tie into this one I believe. Also I'd recommend a Harvest Moon game, if they're the type of thing you like to play, Animal Parade is the best one in my opinion.

[@omegasoup4164]

Man this game looks so cool, if I ever get the chance I’ll gladly play it. Based off this video I’d have to say the electric eel’s my favorite, goodness it is terrifying to see it move through the water!

[@QuinBoBin]

It insane that I just didn’t remember that boss at all, probably the most visually impressive out of all of them

[@nacio3388]

I’m so glad Quin finally decided to play this on the channel this is one of my favorite games of all time

[@josephkielar1190]

The way you describe this game in the intro is exactly Ocarina of Time for me.

[@taraae_]

Ive been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned sotc in one of your previous videos im so excited!! Thank you for playing as the Little Man once again Quin!!

[@redrum895]

serious nostalgia with this one!! this game will always have a special place in my heart. way ahead of its time and there'll never be another one like it

[@PK-qi9jr]

one big video game suggestion: jazzpunk lots of easter eggs, refrences and fairly short (if you play it you should 100% go everywhere you can and find everything)

[@ventorane1678]

I played this game a while back. Maybe a month ago. Loading up I sobbed at how much I missed it. This video made it so much cooler, it made me feel a sense of nostalgia. Amazing video! Keep it up!

[@Litt1eFishy]

The snake one was so scary. Now I have to play this game, thanks so much for taking the time to create this awesome video.

[@tiny_eng]

YES. I've been waiting for this. Just from the sheer amount of love you give this game in your other videos, I've been wanting to watch you play it.

[@tiny_eng]

Also, I've suggested it before but Observation is a good, short-ish game. Spooky, sci fi thriller with a good story. I think you would enjoy it.

[@awkwarddog88]

Love the longer videos and what a great game! I had never heard of it but it looks fantastic. Secondary trauma for the horse but glad it made it out. 😅

[@onionwielder9728]

I've never played this game, but I've seen a lot of videos about it. Glad to see the small man himself coming home.

[@ecl1psed_st4r]

Absolutely in love with these videos, I can't remember how many times I watched the TP Supercut Another lovely (short) game would be Journey, which is just such an eye candy-breathtaking game if you want to try it out (Also Abzu, if you want to fight fear of deep waters)

[@QuinBoBin]

Journey is a game I’ve wanted to play for a super long time but never have

[@stuartpooley3769]

Quin's dad-lore is adorable. Got visions of you watching in awe as the big man beats the colossi that you couldn't

[@Sapphairis]

Also you jumping into the pond reminds me so much of my nephew climbing to the highest peaks in BOTW just to jump off

[@chrisu9967]

This is my favorite game. Thank you for helping everyone who hasn’t played this know about this gem. Go Quin! Literally a small man Also this soundtrack is in my top along with the Zelda series

[@balancedbeast7952]

I'm only half way through while I type but guin says he loves this but I can't help but to see the darkness that is to come. I may have never played myself so my nostalgia is not as powerful.

[@hardikdave1211]

Yo congrats in advance for 200k subs!!! Btw I recommend Hellblade. It's a short, 10hour game and it's genuinely depressing.

[@stuartpooley3769]

It's amazing that you're playing this. I was a freshman in college when it came out and I was so hyped for this game that I modded my PS2 so I could play it (it didn't come out in the UK until a fair bit later). A very small part of me misses the shitty bloom/draw distance. It gave the land an otherworldly sense and gave you the impression that you weren't meant to be there.

[@dddrones]

I've never seen the ending of this but I am a HUGE horse fan so the rollercoaster of emotions i experienced at the end....sheesh

[@QuinBoBin]

Me too lol I didn’t think he made it

[@ryanhill7436]

Finally, I got around to playing this game! Getting to each Colossai was a pain, but fighting them was incredibly fun! And now I got to watch the video with no spoilers! Great suggestion, Quin!

[@peachmelissa]

Isn't it so cool how your first really memorable game like this just leaves such a lasting impression on your life? Glad you could replay a fav! I've never even heard of this one so I'm excited to see it!

[@TonyWildRiver]

One of my favorite games played by one of my favorite gamers! This is a good day. Hard mode gives some of them more sigils you have to poke, and you also take more damage from attacks. Also, you skipped the 12th and 15th colossi? You are so fun to watch. Thank you for the video!

[@xxwolfy85xx25]

I was wondering what happened to belly bump and abnormally big boy, but eh… he got the best ones in the vid.

[@matthijscalje4143]

honestly i wish i could get this game easily :(. glad to see Quin man back though. People don't rememebr but i mentioned a frined who had gone missing lately and a couple months ago he came back :D

[@pvzlegacy5843]

This game is in my top 5 of all time . This game deserves waaaaaaay more love

[@balintgabor1141]

I absolutely love this game, i never got to play it, but i love to watch a KZbinr play this masterpiece. At the end of the vid, I almost started to cry, it's that pretty.The only thing I didn't like about the video that is you editing the platforming and travelling out of the video, that is one of my farourite part of the game

[@QuinBoBin]

Yeah the quiet moments in this game really are some of the best but it’s hard to keep stuff like that in a face paced video

[@hannahreyes689]

"Whyyyy do I run like this??" I died as he ran down that weird staircase

[@awnzee_4570]

The graphics in this game are so cool. I would love to play this game!! Also I definitely recommend playing HOB on the switch, really fun, Beautiful, and short.

[@jesusvargas321]

This was such an amazing video, you can tell how much fun you had playing, congrats quin!!

[@selenopheria]

I could watch Quin play my most hated game and still love every second because his commentary is so good.

[@thedude7250]

I started playing this game last week and it's been awesome, it feels like all those artsy games like journey but with solid gameplay

[@xaralite]

This is literally one of my favorite games! The music is so good and the visuals are stunning!

[@cassideeboyles3968]

Quin: chooses hard mode game controls: so you have chosen *death*

[@SirBoomster]

Yooooo SOTC!!! I haven't been so excited to watch a video from seeing a thumbnail! Ahaha Games great. Love hearing the excitement. It's funny how it can feel like a longer game, specially when just riding around. 10:35 It's not strange. It's SOTC after all! 17:43 I love the little details in the editing! Makes it much more immersive. It's also sad how they all know they're being hunted down, also the fact the last one has watched the others fight. Also knowing why the Colosi are there! Good job beating the game!

[@distortedpearl1512]

This is definitely on of the best videos you've ever made Quin! Love this one!

[@misssquiggles7449]

This game I played with my bio dad and serves as a memory I will remember forever. I love this game and will always have a special place in my heart. Quin playing this game makes my heart warm.

[@monkeyfacex3]

I'm really enjoying the longer format videos. keep up the good work, quinn!

[@cobrabear6497]

my brother recommended this game to me last year. one of the most beautiful, frustrating but exhilerating games ive ever played.

[@unusual854]

I’d never even heard of this game before this video. Loved this content hope we getting longer videos of games like this. Also I feel like Quin’s channel is going full circle. I started watching Majoras Mask because Quin videos reminded me of growing up when I watched my brother play games. He was the better video game player and I solved all the Zelda puzzles. We’d crack jokes and smack talk while fumbling through the main story. Now this game is Quin sharing his childhood nostalgia with us. Compared to how when Quin plays old Zelda games he says how easy things are since he isn't playing as a literal child (which is valid). Quin might as well be a round little guy like Makar becuase he is going full circle baby

[@gerg905]

So I dont know if someone else has said. Pretty much, what you're doing in this game is that you've traveled to the forbidden lands because you've heard that the power that resides there can revive the dead. Over the course of the game you defeat the Colossi who each guard a piece of the dark guy according to his bidding (he's the voice). The guys at the end were chasing you were doing so because they were afraid of the dark guys revival. He uses your body as a conduit to return to the world as it has absorbed all the pieces of his power. The guys see this and successfully seal you away again. Also, yes, you ARE a monster for destroying such harmless creatures like the Colossi.

[@TafurDee]

This game was always interesting to me to play or watch my brother play. Being a very young child playing this was fun but also hard since the bosses were very complicated for my simple minds. Great video. If there is one game I would like to see a long play through of is Journey. It may even be a little short for a long play through but it is amazing.

[@asherscottL]

Ugh. I love this game SO MUCH. I'm HYPED for this.

[@bidoofenshmirtz2119]

Must say, the big turtle way too cool. Also Vah Medoh looking a bit different then i remember

[@Dancers_]

as a one-video-game recommendation i would suggest any game from amanita design, i think all of them are available on steam they got a series called samarost which is 3 games long, the first two take like an hour or two, the third one is a bit longer. you play as a small white man in pyjamas then theres machinarium which i never finished but is one of the longer ones they got i think. its about a robot doing stuff then botanicula, which is like 7-8 hours i think. you play as five walking plants and youre trying to save a tree from dying then creaks, which ive never tried, but it looks kinda like a metroidvania but without the fighting part then pilgrims, which ive also never tried, and its some kind of deckbuilder-adventure game i think then chuchel, which is a rather short game where you play as a black furball who is mad because he cant eat his cherry because dumb shit happens all the time lastly theres happy game, which is the only "horror"-game they got, where you try to help a small man wake up from his nightmares they're all puzzle games and really fun very much worth a try

[@Dandygirl_94]

While Quin enjoys almost every game he plays, it makes me smile contagiously seeing how happy this game obviously makes him. You can just hear the excitement in his tone as he's playing and it makes me glad to see it and maybe might tempt me to play it myself.

[@nelohunterd1313]

Great to see you revisiting something you love big man, always fun to see for everybody. If i can recommend a game i would highly recommend Ender Lilies: quietus of the night. Beautiful game, gorgeous music and great game play. It's a metroidvania that's so fun to explore. Take care big man and can't wait to see ya in the next one. Later!

[@QuinBoBin]

I played a tiny bit of it and really enjoyed it

[@nelohunterd1313]

That's awesome. Even if you don't make a video of it, I'm just happy you played it. It's one of my favorite recent indie games!

[@mindofmiri1578]

I really recommend Senua's Sacrifice. Completion takes 8-10 hours. the story is great and the graphics and environment are really nice as well. Also they're coming out with a sequel soon so I'm waiting with bated breath for that and breath of the wild two rn lol

[@Haydothebabe]

Just now falling in love with the game again. When I was a little kid my dad got this game for me on ps2 and I think god that he did. My favorite game of all time without a doubt. I remember I probably beat this game 13+ times on ps2 and I’m doing my first run on ps5 right now.

[@Burnt_Offering]

I used to play this game as well when i was young, what a great throw back! Man, kinda makes me want to replay this myself! A game you might dig is Journey to a Savage Planet, beating the game can take anywhere from 8 to 16ish hours depending on how much you want to 100% it or not. It's weird, kinda cute and a fun game to play. I hope you check it out if you haven't played it already.

[@Binkus07]

Hey Quin, I would recommend Far: Lone Sails as a short game cause its only about 2-4 hours. And if you like it you could play the second one.

[@0ctagon]

I think you should revisit Subnautica, its absolutely one of my favourite games to play and I come back to it every year. You started off by playing the sequel (below zero), but I think you should start over at the original. I appreciate the game so much that I'd probably write an essay on every aspect of the game, but I don't have the time for it and no-one would read that. But just know that its a beautiful game about conquering fear, and discovering things about the alien planet you are stranded on

[@M_B_J]

This game is just special. It needs to be ported to every new console until the end of time. One of the most epic, cinematic games ever.

[@luckytess]

I've never played this game but always wanted to. So happy watching you play it! We need action like this in BOTW 2

[@facepwnagewtf]

Best colossi in the game was one not in the video Argus that fight took me so long to beat my first time around. But the elation when you finally figure it out is beyond compare.

[@lhoydjoseragay6674]

Seeing Quin play this makes me want to play the game myself haha

[@dylanrennett5321]

If you want to play a game that is a cross between shadow of the colossus and breath of the wild, I recommend preay of the gods, some of the Giants you have to climb up ruins to get onto, horizon zero dawn you also have to climb some ruins to get onto the giraffe robots, and for another long video like stray I recommend one of my favorite ps2 games that can be played on PS4 from the store, primal, average 15 hours, keep up the great content quin I always enjoy every one of your videos

[@Slimeonian]

Ooo shadow of the Colossus. I’ve never actually seen a full playthrough of this game. And with little green funny man playing it, I’ll be sure to watch it

[@abbadon2929]

Always a good day when the gamer uploads a video

[@sparkcircuit7029]

Haven't played this game myself, but I have fond memories of watching my friend play the original after school! Also if you're looking for some wild one-shots, how about Inscryption? It's a card game/puzzle game/jesus-what-do-I-even-classify-the-rest-as?-Horror?-RPG? It's a wild ride but it's *extremely* fun if you enjoy card game stuff and wacky ARG style found footage plots. (People usually rank it at about 6-10 hours if you're not doing 100% completion and secret bosses.)

[@KwehShiro]

I remember there's a secret if you manage to climb to the top of the center tower (the hub). But you need to level up your stamina a bunch (lizard is hp and fruit is stamina iirc?) and replay it a bunch (cause stamina stack every time you finish the game and continue, at least it did in the og). The remake also added a secret cave somewhere that is an easter egg, if you wanna find it (if not already)

[@namelessdragon330]

I have the lore if you want it. That big light in the castle that tells you about the colossi and says things like "Thy next foe is", is actually an ancient and powerful being of pure evil. Its soul was ripped into pieces and sealed away into the statues, which were in turn guarded by the colossi. By defeating the colossi and breaking the statues, you put its soul back together and freed it from the castle - to repay the favor it promptly possesses you. Hence why you turn into a colossus at the end.

[@galaxsija4591]

Oh Quin U really know your audience!

[@sunbrojade6791]

So glad you played SOTC on your channel! This game is quite the art piece. And hey if you ever decide to speedrun it...the community would love to show you the ropes. Looks like you had a great time, cant wait to see whats next :)

[@andyamtou5032]

Hi Quin! Based on games that you have played before and enjoyed, there are a couple of short-ish games that I would really like to see you play. If you enjoyed Undertale, I really recommend Deltarune (chapters 1 and 2) and One Shot. If you liked Ori and the will of the wisps, maybe you could also play Blind Forest. These are a bit unconventional for your channel, but I would love to see you play Silent Hill 2 and What Remains of Edith Finch but idk. Lastly, this one is a lot longer BUT I would absolutely love it if you could play Chrono Trigger (it’s one of my absolute favorite games and I would love to see it)

[@onionwielder9728]

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a really short game. I bet you could complete in one video this length easily. I also recommend Super Paper Mario. That one is long and would have to be a series, though

[@countesschocofang]

Ahh I love this game, I'm so happy to see you playing this, i haven't stopped grinning since I saw the upload! Please play ICO next and then the Last Guardian!

[@JokingThief]

Game Suggestions: *_Oxenfree_*, you can complete its story in about 3 hours, and it's actually worth playing Twice. *_A Short Hike_*, it's about an hour if you're just doing the story. *_Tangle Tower_* is a Mystery Game with an attitude that's right up your alley.

[@melissamaga]

''there's something wrong with our friend'' yeah, its called death. kind of a rare disease

[@ZachPryor]

Oh my gosh I’m so glad to hear that this is one of your favorite games as well. I’ve loved it so much ever since I was a kid. I’m also so glad to know I’m not the only one who always ran away from the colossi after you beat them😂

[@creaturetransylvania8943]

Always fun to re-visit something you ain't played in a long time.
