Shadow of the Colossus

One of the more unique game experiences you will ever play. The game is so simple and focused in its design: encounter enormous (and grotesquely beautiful) colossi in their natural habitat, find their weak points, and take them down.

The true artistry lies in the characters’ motivations and progression, as well as the creative use of bosses as puzzle-esque levels ...

The sense of scale in this game still blows me away. Which is saying something as its a game for the ps2.

Proof that a game can carry the same emotional impact as any film or book.
