It’s a credit to how far video games have come that there are now so many of them worth remaking and updating.


I’ve been skeptical of the Shadow of the Colossus remake since it was announced. Having replayed the original recently, I can say it still holds up, even if the controls are a mess. All of it adds to the general feeling of chaos. But the remake has managed to walk the line between improving the past and still accurately paying tribute to it. Wandering through the land of the colossi seeing blades of grass and lush foliage adds a newer, deeper dimension to the world that truly makes it worth revisiting. And again, the controls have been fixed for anyone who couldn’t get over the torturous camera finagling and jumping of the original.

Mercenary Kings also gets an update this week, while Dragon Quest Builders, an underrated building sim from a couple years back, finally gets a second life on the Nintendo Switch. With three thriving platforms in addition to PC, this winter has been better than most when it comes to new releases.
