9 Most Inventive Video Game Levels You Need To Play

3. Avion - Shadow Of The Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus is another game that is so brimming with end-to-end creativity, it’s hard to select just one segment as the most inventive.

If we had to pick just one, though, we could do worse than the Avion, the 5th Colossus.

Avion is an enormous bird that flies around a flooded arena. Though many of the game’s Colossi make you feel small and vulnerable, there’s an especially visceral feeling of vulnerability when you bait the bird down with an arrow and watch it soar toward you, only to leap onto its wings at the last moment. At this point you’ll hold on for dear life trying to balance your dwindling stamina to traverse between the bird’s weak points so you can, well, stab it to death.

You know how this one goes, you little hero.
