Playing One Of My Favorite Games After 14 Years 

Can I just say that Quin's editing skills are becoming legendary. The voice filters for underwater and falling were a really nice touch.

There's so many details in this game I adore. One of my favorite is that our character Wander is clearly not a swordsman. He swings it wildly, his technique is all over the place. And that's because he's clearly an archer - he can pull off advanced archery while riding the horse, hanging off the side of Agro or leaping off. It's an early indication that Wander's clearly not used to handling a sword, and helps in the ending reveal that he stole it.

About the "25 hours to fully complete" thing, there's an additional secret in the remaster that is never referenced in the game outside of the credits. they mention a "79 steps to enlightenment," which are small little glowing orbs around the map with no in game hints to their location. getting all of them unlocks a pretty huge secret.

Quin: “Where is giant snake?” Literally the most terrifying spike you’ve ever seen: “you called?”

Never been so happy to see quin play a video game, this has been and will always be my favourite game of all time

I love the gimmick for each colossi it really is what makes the game so fun. Then there's the story that is slightly dark, if I remember correctly: All the colossi are not even evil (I mean sure a few are pretty agro), it's the one that you revived that is (or can be interpreted as) evil, yet you still managed to take down all other innocent colossi, and I think the protagonist got caught in the middle (or an accessory) of a revenge cycle. Dormin the shadow that you see at the end, along with Emon the man who is said to own the sword that you stole to kill the colossi, both have a history with each other, as far as I can tell Emon sealed Dormin away by dividing him into 16 pieces then gave those pieces to the colossi, I'm not sure if that corrupted the colossi or not. But I think you do live... I think you're the baby at the end the one with the horns.

Am I the only one here who thinks quin being so happy at the start of the video is just incredibly wholesome

I don't understand why we don't get more unique games like this. I'm more impressed by large scale than large resolutions

18:10 Quin took one look at the unforgiving abyss of deep waters and forgot his mortal tongue. Understandable, frankly; when fear constricts your entire being, it gets pretty hard to get enough air for a whole sentence.

I really like how each collosi is designed to be climbed around. It was a really neat approach to bossfights.

I feel so bad for these Colossi... they are just some dudes... walking in the world, vibing... and then BAM! Your license of living was revoked! Also big fan of the underwater voice edit during the eel fight!

“Shadow of Colossus, but I can’t touch the ground because there is a large man who will run directly into me.” Finally, a practical reason not to touch the ground. 😂🤣🤣 This was so cool, Quin!! Thank you for bringing us along on these games! I love experiencing them through your commentary. This one was especially fun because I remember you referencing it in BOTW. I think the bird was my favorite colossus. And now I also understand why the phrase, “I’m gonna slap your bald spot” is part of your repertoire.

I remember sitting in my Brother's room watching him play. I was probably 5 or so at the time and it was one of my first experiences with video games. I kept asking him questions, probably started being annoying after some time but I really enjoyed watching him. I've yet to actually play the game and it's been over a decade since I've seen it. Man, buying an art tablet can wait, Imma get Shadow of the Colossus.

31:45 I don't know why something about watching Wander get absolutely punted is so funny to me I just keep replaying it.

Not me crying when the horse comes back, I haven’t even played this game. I’m just overly attached to animals 🥲

I said to myself yesterday, "Quin talks about Shadow of the Colossus so much, he should play it on his channel." Looks like you heard me! Excited to see you play a game you love so much!

Watching Quin play his favorite games feels so personal and idk it just feels like such an honor to watch this 🤎

I’m only a couple minutes in but just the sheer joy in your voice has me grinning haha. I love these longer videos!

I’ve never played this game, but I’m so happy to watch Quin play and understand what he’s always referencing in his other videos

Nice seeing you enjoying a childhood game.

I have very fond memories of watching playthroughs of this years ago. good times! And dude, I highly recommend 'The Cave' if you're looking for a game that's fairly short but has a lot of humorous and unpredictable moments. you get to play as three characters of your choice (my favourite was always The Twins) and every one of them is a self-centred asshat who you have to relive the backstories for. each one is hilariously dark, and I spent hours on it replaying as all the characters. Edit: Horse not dead...horses can swim...yeah :') Edit 2: I was feckin right!!!

These long videos are so good. I kinda wanna play the game now, its so PRETTY

"Whyyyy do I run like this??" I died as he ran down that weird staircase

I never played this but heard nothing but great stuff. Looking forward to watching this. Initial thoughts: - looks beautiful - reminds me of BotW - blood spray on boss is big

I'm only half way through while I type but guin says he loves this but I can't help but to see the darkness that is to come. I may have never played myself so my nostalgia is not as powerful.

It's great how you can hear the smile in Quin's voice during the intro. Dude's out here living his best life, and we love to see it

This game is so fun!!! When I played it I was just blown away at how good it was,now that you’re playing it all the nostalgia is coming back, THANK YOU!!

Quin's dad-lore is adorable. Got visions of you watching in awe as the big man beats the colossi that you couldn't

You should check out Fe, took me about 7 hours to get through it. You're like a little fox character tryna save your world and it has no dialouge and has a very open/vauge ended story, up to your own interpretation. The graphics are very polygonal as well, super stylized.

So happy to see a fresh Shadow of the Colossus let's play! Definitely loving these longer videos

the soundtrack for this game might be the best soundtrack ever made. so much nostalgia with this one, thank you

The way you describe this game in the intro is exactly Ocarina of Time for me.

Man this game looks so cool, if I ever get the chance I’ll gladly play it. Based off this video I’d have to say the electric eel’s my favorite, goodness it is terrifying to see it move through the water!

Another game to add to my list of "must play games"... Which mainly consists of Playstation games and the Skyrim game I've had for three years.

Fantastic game, I've loved it for years. I hope you try the other games this company made, Ico and The Last Guardian, both games tie into this one I believe. Also I'd recommend a Harvest Moon game, if they're the type of thing you like to play, Animal Parade is the best one in my opinion.

I’m so glad Quin finally decided to play this on the channel this is one of my favorite games of all time

another combo I didn’t know I needed; Quin & Shadow of the Colossus 🙌🔥🍻 this could be a movie, so cinematic 😵‍💫

Ive been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned sotc in one of your previous videos im so excited!! Thank you for playing as the Little Man once again Quin!!

This was such an amazing video, you can tell how much fun you had playing, congrats quin!!

YES. I've been waiting for this. Just from the sheer amount of love you give this game in your other videos, I've been wanting to watch you play it.

serious nostalgia with this one!! this game will always have a special place in my heart. way ahead of its time and there'll never be another one like it

Love the longer videos and what a great game! I had never heard of it but it looks fantastic. Secondary trauma for the horse but glad it made it out. 😅

I'm really enjoying the longer format videos. keep up the good work, quinn!

YEAHHH SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS my dad owns this on the ps2 and i remember being very young and watching him and god how it’s still impacted me till this day thanks for makin my day, quin!

This is definitely on of the best videos you've ever made Quin! Love this one!

The snake one was so scary. Now I have to play this game, thanks so much for taking the time to create this awesome video.

I played this game a while back. Maybe a month ago. Loading up I sobbed at how much I missed it. This video made it so much cooler, it made me feel a sense of nostalgia. Amazing video! Keep it up!

Oh Quin U really know your audience!

So close to 200k subs congrats

Ahh I love this game, I'm so happy to see you playing this, i haven't stopped grinning since I saw the upload! Please play ICO next and then the Last Guardian!

Yes Please! Luv this game Almost at 200k congrats! Your voice being muffled underwater made me crack up 😂

Yo congrats in advance for 200k subs!!! Btw I recommend Hellblade. It's a short, 10hour game and it's genuinely depressing.

Omg i love this game so much this is such a pleasant surprise to see you play this

Yooooo SOTC!!! I haven't been so excited to watch a video from seeing a thumbnail! Ahaha Games great. Love hearing the excitement. It's funny how it can feel like a longer game, specially when just riding around. 10:35 It's not strange. It's SOTC after all! 17:43 I love the little details in the editing! Makes it much more immersive. It's also sad how they all know they're being hunted down, also the fact the last one has watched the others fight. Also knowing why the Colosi are there! Good job beating the game!

I'm so glad you played this i love this game sm !

I've never seen the ending of this but I am a HUGE horse fan so the rollercoaster of emotions i experienced at the end....sheesh

Absolutely in love with these videos, I can't remember how many times I watched the TP Supercut Another lovely (short) game would be Journey, which is just such an eye candy-breathtaking game if you want to try it out (Also Abzu, if you want to fight fear of deep waters)

I'm so happy to see you play this, this is my favourite videogame and I don't see a lot of people talking about it, so this was a bit of a surprise to see in my notifications.

I'm glad to see someone else that enjoys trying to escape the shadows! That was always a fun thing to see how far I could get.

Quin: chooses hard mode game controls: so you have chosen *death*

Amazing video, big man. I love what this game does and how it presents its world. Keep up the good work on these videos. By the way, I feel like you would love Luigi's Mansion 3, it's a 10 to 15 hour game so perfect for this kind of video format

I've never played this game, but I've seen a lot of videos about it. Glad to see the small man himself coming home.

Let's gooooooo I can't wait to see you playing this!

It's amazing that you're playing this. I was a freshman in college when it came out and I was so hyped for this game that I modded my PS2 so I could play it (it didn't come out in the UK until a fair bit later). A very small part of me misses the shitty bloom/draw distance. It gave the land an otherworldly sense and gave you the impression that you weren't meant to be there.

So glad you played SOTC on your channel! This game is quite the art piece. And hey if you ever decide to speedrun it...the community would love to show you the ropes. Looks like you had a great time, cant wait to see whats next :)

Oh my gosh I’m so glad to hear that this is one of your favorite games as well. I’ve loved it so much ever since I was a kid. I’m also so glad to know I’m not the only one who always ran away from the colossi after you beat them😂

This is literally one of my favorite games! The music is so good and the visuals are stunning!

Isn't it so cool how your first really memorable game like this just leaves such a lasting impression on your life? Glad you could replay a fav! I've never even heard of this one so I'm excited to see it!

Yee long videos!! Love it man :)

Also you jumping into the pond reminds me so much of my nephew climbing to the highest peaks in BOTW just to jump off

This is my favorite game. Thank you for helping everyone who hasn’t played this know about this gem. Go Quin! Literally a small man Also this soundtrack is in my top along with the Zelda series

Been wanting to see this for a long time, I watched some of his older videos and Quin's voice went....Well you know. So good. Would love to see this man play a pokemon nuzlocke.

This game was always interesting to me to play or watch my brother play. Being a very young child playing this was fun but also hard since the bosses were very complicated for my simple minds. Great video. If there is one game I would like to see a long play through of is Journey. It may even be a little short for a long play through but it is amazing.

I’m loving these long videos! I think the lizard is my favorite because uhhhh crawly boi

Omg I clicked so fast!! This is legit one of my favorite games and I'm so glad you're playing it too stinky

I started playing this game last week and it's been awesome, it feels like all those artsy games like journey but with solid gameplay

Hi Quin! Would love to watch you play Bugsnax ☺️ love the channel keep up the great content!

Always a good day when the gamer uploads a video

Early congrats on 200k big man!

I've been enjoying all your content! I've never played Shadow of the Colosis but I might have to give it a try in the future. You should try one of my favorite games, Wandersong. It's only about 9 hrs long and I would love to see what you think of it!

I've never played this game but always wanted to. So happy watching you play it! We need action like this in BOTW 2

Amazing video as always mi guy

Seeing Quin play this makes me want to play the game myself haha

Paused the video essay I was watching to watch this, I played this back to back 7 times in a row to get the platinum trophy. Fucking love Shadow of the Colossus

One of my favorite games played by one of my favorite gamers! This is a good day. Hard mode gives some of them more sigils you have to poke, and you also take more damage from attacks. Also, you skipped the 12th and 15th colossi? You are so fun to watch. Thank you for the video!

I’d never even heard of this game before this video. Loved this content hope we getting longer videos of games like this. Also I feel like Quin’s channel is going full circle. I started watching Majoras Mask because Quin videos reminded me of growing up when I watched my brother play games. He was the better video game player and I solved all the Zelda puzzles. We’d crack jokes and smack talk while fumbling through the main story. Now this game is Quin sharing his childhood nostalgia with us. Compared to how when Quin plays old Zelda games he says how easy things are since he isn't playing as a literal child (which is valid). Quin might as well be a round little guy like Makar becuase he is going full circle baby

All my nightmares revolve around two things: gaining control of out of control vehicles and the Hidden Lake Colossus 🫠

Ugh. I love this game SO MUCH. I'm HYPED for this.

Ooo shadow of the Colossus. I’ve never actually seen a full playthrough of this game. And with little green funny man playing it, I’ll be sure to watch it

Thanks for another great video about another great game I don't think it would work for this format of long video, but okami is a great game I really think is up your alley

Fantastic video Quin! Would love you to play the original fable!!

Glad to see you play a game you always talk about quin :)

Loved watching you play this game! Still looks just as good as I remember. For recommendations, I'd suggest the game "Firewatch" it's only 4 hrs but one of my favorites.

Quin back at again with a nice long sweet video

Finally, I got around to playing this game! Getting to each Colossai was a pain, but fighting them was incredibly fun! And now I got to watch the video with no spoilers! Great suggestion, Quin!

this has been my fav game since 2nd grade I'm so happy that you play it too, big quin W

I absolutely love this game, i never got to play it, but i love to watch a RU-vidr play this masterpiece. At the end of the vid, I almost started to cry, it's that pretty.The only thing I didn't like about the video that is you editing the platforming and travelling out of the video, that is one of my farourite part of the game

It's funny that you upload this because I just started shadow of the colossus about a week ago.

one big video game suggestion: jazzpunk lots of easter eggs, refrences and fairly short (if you play it you should 100% go everywhere you can and find everything)

I could watch Quin play my most hated game and still love every second because his commentary is so good.
