10 Best PS4 Games Of 2018 - Ranked
3. Shadow Of The Colossus
The first Shadow of the Colossus was released on the Playstation 2 back in 2005 and there wasn't another full title made in the franchise until it was remade in 2018. The new Shadow of the Colossus was released on February 6, 2018 and stands as the right way to remake a Triple-A title.
Instead of tweaking the original code to make it work for a modern generation console, the developers recreated Shadow of the Colossus from the ground up. This means that the game is technically new, but still manages to follow the original completely, but with an entirely modern look and advanced use of hardware.
Shadow of the Colossus retains the original gameplay, but has tweaks to the control scheme thanks to the PS4's advances made from the original DualShock controllers that came with the PS2.
When it was released, Shadow of the Colossus received absolute universal acclaim from critics according to the aggregate site, Metacritic, which holds a 91/100 rating. Most critics hit it with a 9/10 praising its use of sound and visuals to ensure "nothing in this entire game is forgettable." Shadow of the Colossus remains one of Sony's greatest exclusive titles and was even nominated for "Playstation Game of the Year" at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards.
