10 Video Game Bosses You DON'T Want To Beat
2. The Colossi - Shadow Of The Colossus
Imagine, if you will, you're sat at the dinner table, eating a delicious cheese and cucumber sandwich. Maybe there're a few crisps on the side. You're having a great time, minding your own business. Life is great.
Then, as you lift the breadulous treat to your mouth, you notice... a Syrian dwarf hamster, armed with a toothpick, climbing your forearm. Without warning, it pick-pierces you in your magic tattoo, half-killing you, sending lettuce and spit everywhere as you attempt to swat it off... to no avail. The rapid little critter has already clambered around to your neck, and jabs you once more... you fall to the floor. Your last glimpse of this world is that sandwich that could have been. The hamster gets on its inexplicably relatively-sized horse, and gallops off to your neighbour's house, as you expire.
What a chilling and hilarious story. And yet, this is exactly what you do in Shadow of the Colossus. You are that hamster, and the whole game is just you ruining the sandwiches (and lives) of completely passive giants.
There's no joy to killing the titular Colossi of Shadow of The Colossus.
But... who knows what goes on in the mind of a hamster? Certainly not I, a man trying to enjoy an uninterrupted sandwich.
