20 Awesome PS4 Exclusives You Need To Play Before PS5

16. Shadow Of The Colossus

Perhaps one of the biggest highlights of Sony's PS5 reveal was the exciting news that Bluepoint Games, the masters of the remaster, are working on a stunning-looking remake of Demon's Souls.

Before that, the team cemented their reputation with a truly fantastic remake of Shadow of the Colossus for the PS4.

While the original PS2 version of Shadow is considered a classic by basically everybody, it is no longer the definitive way to play that game. With the release of this remake on PS4, Bluepoint created the quintessential Shadow experience; this plays exactly like the first title did, but ramps the graphics up to 11 and is one of the best looking titles on the PS4.

If you've never played Shadow of the Colossus before, you're in for a treat here. It's quite unlike anything else on the market, and tells a minimalist tale about a character named Wander, who is trying to revive a dead companion. To do this, Wander must go up against the Colossi - huge, terrifying beings that roam the landscape - and kill them all.

If you have played it before, you're still in for a treat here. The game looking this gorgeous is a true sight to behold, and going up against the Colossi is still as cool as it was back on the PS2.
