Shadow of the Colossus, a Complete Playthrough

Shadow of the Colossus is quite possibly one of the most important and influential video games to ever release. It was widely received, and later famously known, as a turning point in how people perceived video games -- they too can be art. Join me as we uncover the beauty that changed gaming forever.

This channel takes a lot of effort & a a ton of time, and I love everything we're doing with it. Subscribing is a great way to let me know you want more! What other games would you like on the channel?

"The beauty that changed gaming forever" Eric, 23 times: "This game is SO pretty!"

[@_tdf_]

Just 23?

[@anonymousturtle34]

@@_tdf_ Nope! I counted, and there are 16 pretties, 5 beautifuls, and 3 gorgeouses. So a grand total of 24!

This is the type of video that I try to put on in the background while I’m doing something else, but the commentary and gameplay is so good that I sit down to actively watch the whole thing.

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

Tried to draw some maps for my upcoming D&D campaign while having this video in the background. To put it shortly, the session will be delayed by a week.

[@adlez47]

Wait, it just hit me after all these years... Mono dies, and then wakes up in an unfamiliar land. She got freaking isekai'd.

Did I watch all the VODS for this play through? Yes. Am I going to watch this video too? Also yes.

Glad to see that I’m not alone in this lol

[@TheWeebMan_72]

Sheer dedication.

[@thespectator18]

same, watched the vods, now its time for the edited version

[@aquari1659]

You said you wanted this to be the definitive blind let’s play of this game to watch, and I have to say, you absolutely succeeded. You are so in tune with this game, you were picking up exactly what the game was putting down. You just “get it”. There were so many times when giving your thoughts, that I was struggling to believe it was your first time ever knowing what happens, because you knew exactly what the game was trying to make you feel. You never missed a story beat and your enthusiasm and excitement was just amazing to watch. I love your vids for years now, and I’d love for you to give the sequel to this game The Last Guardian a try. Just as much of an emotional rollercoaster as this. ❤

[@MakoWoman]

As a mega-fan of Shadow of the Colossus, your excitement and curiosity throughout this playthrough made me so happy 😭

[@Lucky_360]

I’ve been speedrunning this game for almost 20 years, it’s literally made to be speedrun. Once you beat the same you can do bosh rush mode on your 2nd playthrough where you kneel in front of each statue in the temple and get teleported right to the fight

[@sweetieswifey627]

Wait for real? That's actually crazy

The seamless cuts and brilliant editing in pointcrow videos is honestly so amazing, like huge time cuts while keeping the pace of the video perfect and connecting conversations so perfectly 👌

[@LupaLazuli]

And never let Pointcrow forget just how many times he said “wow, this is pretty”

[@mariangutierrez2129]

Fr i thought they were going to have a counter for that.

[@anonymousturtle34]

Alright, I made a "This game is so pretty" count for Eric. He also used some other adjectives, so all are included: Pretty - 16 Beautiful - 5 Gorgeous - 3 Total - 24 I used the transcript feature for this, so there might be some adjectives I missed. Reply if you noticed any!

[@Ncryption]

This is a wonderful channel idea. I sincerely hope you keep up with it. A suggestion would be. "Ico" the original game by Team Ico, creator of Shadow of the Colossus.. Or perhaps... Skyward Sword? ❤

[@ZeroTheBetrayer]

He’s already done skyward sword, just not in this format, so who knows he might replay it again.

[@sneef3732]

A playthrough of The Last Guardian by eric would make me so happy, any game by team ico honestly...

[@fenn__fenn]

He uploaded his skyward sword playthrough on this channel now!

[@fenn__fenn]

This game got me through some really dark times when it came out, the music still makes me cry sometimes. An absolute masterpiece.

[@MatTheW08848]

one of my favorite games of all time, it really is a masterpiece and the basis of what we see today. glad to see it's getting appreciation through this playthrough

[@momo9taru]

Was happy to watch your playthrough live, on vods, and now on this channel. What a masterpiece of a game

[@Regarious]

When did he stream this

[@HydesHoney]

@@RegariousI believe he played mid March. The 12th, I think. The whole play through is available on his other channel PointCrow VODs. There’s two videos.

[@Regarious]

@@HydesHoney alright thanks

[@scientificthesis]

I clicked on this video not expecting much for a game I've never heard about but not only was this game great but your playthrough of it was amazing. I really like the way you approach videogames and commentary and it's always a delight seeing you talk enthusiastically about stuff that's happening!

[@AndrewPRoberts]

I just finished playing through this game- I broke it up over about a week, defeating a few colossi per day. Every time I stopped for a session, I watched the playthrough up until that point. It was a really great experience, playing alongside. But goddamn, what a masterpiece.

[@JoshuaKing1215]

I truly believe this is the single greatest video game ever made, sure it has its problems, like the camera, but my god even with that it’s such a stunning game, amazing soundtrack, and just a beautiful world. This is the game that made me want to get into the games industry, I’m so glad to see it get the love it deserves so many years after it was first released

[@donotme8061]

I recall watching the streams when they were live and rewatching them on the Vod channel, but this is also great as background noise where i can recount the feelings i had watching this for the first time and not yelling at the screen for Eric to try something else.

[@smallpharma]

Love the channel, thank you for compiling your playthroughs like this! I like the care you put into these playthroughs and the sincere engagement with the games. Thanks to you and your team, keep up the good work!

[@H33T33]

I had completely forgotten about this game. I used to watch my dad play it all the time. It’s an amazing feeling seeing it again.

[@TheMaster-vr7je]

WE NEED A "WOW.....PRETTY" COUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THIS MAN SAYS IT

[@sinedddmk8996]

Someone inside of a comment counted 16 prettys, and other adjectives for beuty, For a total of 24. I think they made a comment themselves, black turtle profile pic.

[@Alexa-sd6zt]

This game is very near and dear to me and to see a person who is also very dear to me play it is just absolutely amazing. Thank you crow ❤

My favorite game of all time, got the soundtrack on vinyl. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@itsfreakinlily8402]

so glad you discovered the beauty and wonder of this forbidden land

[@Trueedgelordhades]

I love this type of content to either just watch straight with snacks at night or listen to while doing something else and look every once in a while If you take suggestions I would like to see you play through Sea of Stars it is personally my favourite game, and the story is great in my opinion, it also has a dlc coming up soon

[@OfAshenSnow]

This is my favorite game, and one of my favorite playthroughs to watch. I will say, the constant comparison to Zelda BotW and TotK was exhausting, simply because this game not only came out so much earlier, but because I felt like it took away from just the beauty of the designs and atmosphere of this game.

[@sherijohnson8247]

My favorite gamer playing my favorite game. ❤ thank you for making it less sad. You had me at "let's check for fall damage".🤣 10/10!

[@dankmanOSU]

[@notsostellar]

Watching Crow get emotional at the end gave me all the flashbacks from when I first watched a playthrough of this game. So much appreciation for these full playthrough videos 🥹

[@nashdragion2207]

Don’t know if you’ve played them, but I’d love to see the sequels to this game

[@daniellehilson4282]

There are sequels? :0

[@HydesHoney]

I caught plenty of this live, watched what I missed in the VODs and yes, I will also be watching this 3 hour video while working. I love this game and I’m so glad PointCrow played it. I wonder if he’d try The Last Guardian? It’s a mixed bag and I know plenty of people hated it.

[@demdude3708]

Now that you have a ps4, have you heard of our lord and savior bloodborne?

[@dirtyderk]

my fav game, loved watching the streams!

[@henhen42]

This game came out before Oblivion. Oblivion is a beautiful game too, but the graphics of this one feel otherworldly. It amazes me what they did with this game!

[@-L.S]

This channel is so great ill say more later but oooooooo i love

[@PatientSqueaky]

Idk if you have a VR crow, but I HIGHLY recommend a game called Journey Of The Gods. It's not too long of a game and you'll get through it within one stream as it's only 3 or so hours but it's stunning and if you like Zelda games (Which i feel as though you do XD) you'll find it a nice play! It's story is really simply and isn't talked about a lot in the game which is my only compliant. Just an incredible game that's underrated.

[@YusufMobarak]

Keep making these. Can you do ghost of tsushima next

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

1:38:33 While not as creepy as the og, Drige's death screen is still terrifying! 2:42:40 Holy shit, Wander can walk on air!

I love this game so much, oml

[@garrenmoretz6417]

Hey, pointcrow. I love zenlda games, and the first one I ever played was in 2016, when I was a lot younger, and I played Legend of Zelda: Link's awakening. Not the Nintendo switch one though, there is a lot less story and collectibles in that one. I recommend playing the Gameboy color one. But on a 3ds or pc.

[@Atherax]

That was a beautiful game, I hope he plays the rest of the series

[@kjb-gamesandreading3981]

Does this mean we might see Ico and The Last Guardian?

Heyooo, I just wanted to say love your content, and while you were playing this, it reminded me of another game. I think that you might enjoy you tried it out sometime.

Dirge is TERRIFYING. Played this before videos and game guides online were a thing, no lie this took me MONTHS to beat because I had no idea you had to run on the horse and SHOOT BACKWARDS INTO HIS EYES, and then when I figured it out my puny little teen brain couldn’t shoot both of his eyes fast enough(in the original you had to shoot both eyes out)

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

The only thing I really remember about this game is someone made an anime girl version of each colossi. Like legit that's basically the only thing I remember. I don't remember their names at all, I just remember anime girls.
