14 Incredible Video Game Stories You'll Never Stop Discussing

14. Shadow Of The Colossus

Team ICO's masterpiece is a lesson in restraint with a minimalist approach to drip-feeding the element of drive and purpose to what you're actually doing in the game's world. As with all the best works that manage to stick their landings after some potentially disastrously-high jumps, when everything comes full circle and you realise that in following your own predilections for video games - i.e. killing everything - has greater ramifications than you think, Shadow manages to tell a one-off tale for the ages. Still discussed to this day - especially as we wonder if followup The Last Guardian is cancelled or incoming - Shadow of the Colossus managed to be one of only a handful of games that questioned the very actions we partake in with every other title.
