10 Overlooked Video Games We All Know Are True Classics

There have been a lot of gamers who have enjoyed games by the same designer. Shadow of the colossus was a success that has even led to the beloved game being remade for the Playstation 4. Similarly, The Last Guardian has been loved and enjoyed by many people. However, before these two games were released there was another game by designer Fumito Ueda, Ico. Following the same design philosophy of immersion and minimal dialogue would influence the two later games. Helping to create some truly artistically beautiful games.

The story of Ico is deceptively simple, your name is Ico and you are a young boy born with horns. This is considered a bad omen to your people so you are locked in a fortress, there you find a girl called Yorda who is also trapped. She will help you to escape, but you must also protect her. The story expands from there with an evil queen, shadow monsters and an overarching feeling of isolation but this is all told wondrously through the world and with almost no dialogue. If you truly want to be immersed in a gorgeous magical world then play this game, any game that is considered by some to be art should be played by all.
