Hi! This is a re-release of co-op Episode 5 all about Shadow of the Colossus from way back at the end of the year 2020. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike the subject of this episode, we shall not fall. We're here with the latest co-op episode and oh boy is this a great one. Roxy Polk, Alec Robbins, and Cody Ziglar all join Conner to talk about one of the more revered games of all time, Shadow of the Colossus. Don't you worry, we absolutely make time to discuss the Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle vehicle "Reign Over Me".
This episode's crew of wanderers discuss different subjects such as how this game teaches you so much by telling you so little, how this game actually makes the player feel bad for toppling the Colossi, and of course bask in the glory of a few favorite Colossi that stand tall (hehe) above the rest. It's an absolute banger and we hope you enjoy! Absolutely check out this wonderful video from Jacob Geller as well.
