Last time I did one of these (a long time ago, sorry bout that), we talked about the Silent Hill series creepy/depressing feelings of being alone. Today we'll talk about a happier game: Shadow of the Colossus. While Silent Hill was a terrifying environment where you were the only thing remotely human, (Yes I know you were with Maria and other people. They don't count.) Team Ico's masterpiece SotC, presents this enormous fantastically imagined world, that only you can travel. Instead of terrifying players, it gave you a sense of wonder and peace. That no one was there to bother you, there was no war, no drugs. Only peace. Shadow of the Colossus was a masterful game that flooded the player with many emotions. Peaceful Loneliness being one of those.
