I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to write any more for this series as I thought I’d run out of games very quickly. However, I’ve been consuming so many games lately, either playing them myself or watching playthroughs, and I’ve seen so many amazing ones that should 100% be adapted. Plus after the success of The Last of Us, I’m feeling quite hopeful about game adaptations.
Shadow of The Colossus
Game synopsis: The game focuses on a young man, known only to the audience as Wander (or “the Wanderer”), who is tasked with finding and killing sixteen colossi that reside in a desolate expanse of land, in the hopes of resurrecting a sacrificed girl named Mono.
Now here is a game with impressive visuals. I feel like this is a bit more niche as it’s not very popular anymore, however, I really like it. Whenever I think about seeing really good CGI Colossus’ I quite literally get chills. However, this would definitely work better as an animation. I suppose it would be pretty similar to Attack on Titan, but also absolutely nothing like it. More that they both have ‘titans’.
Although there isn’t very much dialogue in this game I think they could adapt it well. I mean look at the first season of The Witcher; Geralt doesn’t speak that often and it still worked. That might not be the same here as there are technically like four characters in Shadow of The Colossus but it’s all about the vibes right?
Also, they’d be able to develop the characters and story, adding in actual voice lines and you just know if this ever happened, they’d give Wander a comedic companion. Which would either make or break it.
