Whenever players think of Gold Coins in video games, the last place they'd expect them to pop up is Shadow of the Colossus. There are 79 hidden coins in the remake of this cult classic, and each one requires the player to really go out exploring the game's shockingly big world.

The reward for finding each of these coins, aside from an achievement and a sense of pride, is that the player gets the ability to unlock a hidden door inside the main temple where you go after defeating every Colossi. Inside this room is a sword known as Dormin's Sword. The sword gives players a better attack but at the cost of lower health regeneration as the sword is infused with a dark aura.

While 79 coins is a lot to go hunting for, and the sword itself has some disadvantages when used, it simply gives a cult classic game more to do and challenges new players and grizzled veterans alike with something new they both can experience and struggle through, which overall is just a nice simple addition to a game that is sadly overlooked in Playstation's mighty roster of exclusive games.
