Bluepoint Games

Bluepoint are well-known for their high-def reskins of acclaimed games, and what better way to show off their prowess in such a field by remaking one of the most highly regarded games of the PlayStation 2 era.

As it was before, nothing is here to hold your hand: simply hold out your sword to get a vague idea of where the next Colossus is, travel to it by way of your horse Agro, and hope by your leathery chaps that you're clever and skilled enough to take it down.

The main character Wander (appropriate name) follows this quest to rid this world of sixteen different diabolical demagogues as a way to restore his dead love interest. If you're wondering, that is when you know you've found a keeper!

Sure, defeating these larger-than-large beings might not be as challenging as before, and the lack of a straight up tutorial may be enough to turn newcomers off - not to mention the camera takes some getting used to - but the rich lore (for those willing to research), simple story and engaging titan combat/puzzling are still fantastic all these years later, gloriously realized in lovely PS4 HD-ness.
