In a game with puzzle elements, there is nothing more frustrating than finding out you had the correct answer minutes before the game acknowledged it. When all else was lost, trying again in a slightly different location often made the difference, finally allowing us to proceed. I often found that if I wasn’t lined up in the exact place, Yorda would shake her head to indicate that she could not make the jump or reach me on a higher ledge. It isn’t her fault, but so much is wrong with the way the game responds to Ico’s attempts to call her. Her name, as we find out later, is Yorda and, without each other, neither has a chance of escaping.įrom a control and game play perspective Yorda is a nuisance.
It is only shortly after he begins his escape that Ico meets a shimmering young girl held captive in a cage. Ico’s story would end there, but for a tremor and decayed stone platform that cracks his cocoon and spills the young boy out onto the floor to begin his adventure. Before leaving Ico in one of countless sarcophagi, his captors apologize, but ensure him that his sacrifice is for the good of his village. There, a mystical sword opens a long-closed entrance. Most of the game is shrouded in mystery, telling just enough of the story to lend credibility to the motivations of the small cast of characters.Īs the game opens, Ico, a young, horned boy, is carried through the woods, to an ancient shrine. I remember when ICO was first announced as making its way to the West and how excited I was to give it a try, largely as something different and, for the time, quite beautiful. They differ drastically, though, in gameplay. They were both developed by Team ICO for the Playstation 2, feature similar artistic direction and an ambiguous, yet not entirely unexplained, narrative. One of the developers hinted that Shadow of the Colossus might be a prequel to ICO, but that isn’t canon. Unlike the past HD collections we have seen on the Playstation 3, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are not technically part of the same series. I am getting ahead of myself, though, especially for those that are new to these two games. I remember playing through ICO a decade ago, astounded by the risks it took using the medium the dialog was entirely subtitled, fabricated language one character’s speech was completely undecipherable and the hand-holding mechanic created a dynamic unlike any other I had experienced. When ICO first launched in 2001, and even as late as 2005 when Shadow of the Colossus graced the Playstation 2, the “games as art” conversation was still in its infancy.
