To this day one of the best soundtracks ever.
One of my all time favorite games out there. As you start off exploring, fighting the each Colossus with some heroic, valorous music. The last Colossus hits you different. It's an immobile one that stands before you. As you finally get on top of it's head. You realize that It's been able to see the beam of lights appearing from the previous fallen Colossi far out into the distance, one by one lighting up. Always worth recommending this game to anyone if they get the chance.
SHADOW OF THE COLLOSUS OMG!!! Literally one of my favorite games ever and this is one of the most moving tracks to me by far. Would love to see you react to more of the OST ^_^ Maybe The Farthest Land???
You're godamn right, btw if U see this Marco, react to the Epilogue ost from Shadow of the Colossus
Epilogue is defo happening - I’ll keep farthest land in mind….stream game….?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@MarcoMeatball It would surely be amazing to see u play Shadow of the Colossus ;)
@@MarcoMeatball I was planning to leave a request for you to review Those Who Remain from SOTC. Its a very emotional ending theme to the game. Youve done super fantastic with all the reviews youve made so far btw thanks!!
@@MarcoMeatball I'm so hyped right now :)
The most emotional and my favorite video game track of all time. So somber and emotional. Just a mournful sense of “do you really want to do this?”
The epilogue soundtrack (Those who remain) of this game is one of the best soundtracks ever composed
(The whole soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ever composed)
Shadow of the Colossus is one these stories where morality is so blurred and wondering if everything if we are doing is even worth it. I recall this song plays also AFTER you lose your dear horse, Agro and confront the last colossus. *P.S:* Stultifera navis - Golden Age Will Return Again from Arknights. Not exactly full song, but I'm curious about your take on this shanty.
Spec ops the line, nier and shadow of the colossus?
This piece is remarkable in how short and effective it is. The context for when this plays is not just the colossus the player is fighting, but also in recent events that the main character has just experienced as well as what lies just ahead. It's an acknowledgement of that lingering feeling you might have had about the nature of the task. I feel as though words couldn't do it justice, so suffice to say that the entire body of context sets this encounter up to be very, VERY emotionally charged. Thanks again for covering this!
Ah Malus... felt like a real emotional fight after what happened just before this plays... even tho Malus had zero part in what made it sad XD
Shadow of the colossus is one of the best artwork in video games history. All the OST is magnificent, and makes you feel all the great experience of the history of game. Best regards Marco.
My favorite part of this game was how your character isnt a powerful warrior. You are clumsy and your strikes are often weak. But you keep fighting.
You can trip on rocks, and even up the temple steps...MAde it all too real when I was just a young teen, and I realized the hero was too...
It's been easily 20 years since I played this game and I still absolutely adore the music. The entire soundtrack has found a place in my frequent listening playlists, it's so beautiful and atmospheric to match a beautiful and astmospheric game.
Wow I can't believe that you took my suggestion from yesterday. This game is one of my favorites. The music when you face the Collossus just made me want to fight against one of them. Just Awesome
It was on my patreon request list and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise :)
You're right. This song is a lament, more for the collossi and even more for the invested player. Sad, haunting and unsettling when playing(I was 17 when I played this first time) for the first time.
Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games of all time. It's one of the first times that I truly felt a sense of regret with every 'enemy' I killed. The music especially transports this feeling that what you're doing is wrong. Most colossi are introduced with beautiful, regal and majestic themes, and though you get a heroic and triumphant change when you find a way to challenge them, the ultimate moment of the kill has none of that. It's sad, mournful and makes you feel like something important was lost. I have many favorites on this whole soundtrack, the Prologue, The Opened Way, Swift Horse, The Farthest Land, The Sunlit Earth and of course, this theme of the last colossus.
Yes!!! Shadow of the Colossus!!! Still holds up as one of my favorite osts and was really hoping to see your reactions to it. Would love to see your reactions to Epilogue and A Despair Filled Farewell :)
Looking at that buff Pikachu while the piece is going in the backgroud, definitely threatening aura and you can feel Pikachu reaching a higher plane of existence. That piece of music is my favorite ❤ Thank you for the video!
One of my favorite games and OSTs ever. You are just on a roll! Please more Shadow of the Colossus!
Hearing organs in video game music is always so cool because they usually represent something somber or corrupted. There's a fantastic video by the channel Sideways talking about why organs sound creepy and I think it 100% applies here and in other songs like Sullied Grace from Kirby: Triple Deluxe (Side note: maybe try some Kirby music? It tends to be very cheerful but boss themes especially will go surprisingly hard)
YES!!! I was hoping you would react to this soundtrack!
There's something captivating about Colossus. Perhaps their size or greatness. To me this music feels like it tells the story of a resting Colossi (??) and later, atfer a short pause, slowly rises one more time, now towering over us all. Also Buff Pikachu XD
Oh man I always wanted to play this game. Its something so simple but awesome I love the idea behind it. Funny thing about organs. I remember as a kid watching pirates of the caribbean and loving davy jones' theme. And then this one time when in school we went into church, our music teacher went to go play on the organ and was blown away by it but also couldnt help but imagine her as davy jones during that moment lol.
The violin sounds like Norwegian folk music at times, really nostalgic for norskies like myself Look up "Ivo Caprino" for examples
This is the ost that made me want to compose for games. I've always said this game itself is a symphony. From the quiet (environmental sounds only, no music) exploration, to these foreboding pieces that tell you you're getting close to a colossus, to the actual engagement of said colossus, to the climactic action of climbing it, and ultimately the somber ending after it falls. All different movements in this symphonic masterpiece of a game.
Absolutely. So true. Nice to have you here, Tyler.
my favorite game of all time! please review more tracks from this!! your reactions are awesome
🙏🙏🙏
Man Shadow of the Colussus is one if my favorite games I've played.
Shadow of the Colossus is easily in my top video game soundtracks, but I feel like it gets overlooked for some reason. Every song is just really good, and for different reasons.
I still remember climbing Malus even after all these years. I really should go back and replay Shadows.
Can't lie got chills
I love hearing the music from this game so many childhood memories
Yoooo Love that you're looking at SOTC. A masterpiece of a game and its ost is fucking insanely good
SotC was the first game that I know of that was widely considered a Gesamtkunstwerk - a word I'm sure you're very familiar with. And I have to say it deserves it 100%
Oooo is it considered that!? Incredible
Oh man this is such a classic, all those memories coming back already! Also Day thirteen of recommending Stay Gold from the Arknights OST
Omg Marco, this is my favourite OST from the game, it's so atmospheric and fitting to the moment it's supposed to represent. I listen to it sometimes when I'm writing fiction, it sets me into an awesome writing mood ! Much love, continue like that !
This, for me, is the best song from this game/soundtrack. It says so much. And listening to this in the game, reaching that moment for the first time and hearing "Demise of the ritual" start to play... hits even harder.
The first time I played the game I didn't fully appreciate this song at the final colossus. I thought it was a weakness that the song was so slow and subdued. Looking back on it I think it's perfect. How solemn and reverent it sounds, but also feels like tragedy and inevitability.
I love this piece and I love this final boss. Some people find it dissapointing for not being epic or intense, but my favourite final bosses are exactly those full of sadness, melancholy and doubts
Another good one would be Gwyn, Lord of Cinder
This quite literally is epic, there are different kinds of "epic".
Hm... *suggestion* Warframe: This is what what you are Maybe also their lyrical songs, like "We all lift together", "Sleeping in the Cold below" and "For Narmer".
Thinking about the organ in this track Koh Otani may not have explicitly intended it, but I think the use of organ as well as bells (like church bells) you hear throughout the game evokes a reverent or religious feeling. Two scenes where organ is very prominent is when you hear from Dormin, a dark deity, at the beginning and end of the game. And maybe it's no coincidence that a pipe organ is the largest musical instrument, often built in places designed to make you feel small.
Gotta do “despair filled farewell” and “prologue”
You should definitely stream this one day. It would be fun to see your takes in context with it.
This game is unmatched.
You should react to either rennala queen of the full moon ost or dragon lord placidusax ost they’re really good.
Not much as far as vocals go, but “Epilogue” from SotC soundtrack is absolutely incredible.
i'm curious to hear what u have to say about guts' theme from berserk 1997! would be nice if u could react to that :3c
5:12 we literally do xD he’s got very bad back ache now
Shadow of the Colossus will keep you content-fed for a while
Deraciné's end credits is quite beautiful. It's by Yuka Kitamura and is also a different take on Scarborough Fair.
you really should react to Final Fantasy Draco and Maria Opera
Maybe it’ll drop today. Who knows.
Yes let’s gooooo
Hello, I’m not sure if you got spoiled to heck for all the ace combat music already. But it would be neat to see you react to “Archange” Ace Combat 7. Or “Gundam Unicorn 6th Mob UC”(less chorus but still neat) I just thought it would be neat to react to either of these maybe unheard songs.
Only those who beat the Game hear this song...you only hear it the One time in the Game you Hear it
I know it’s a long shot but could you react to world at wars main theme?
Evis's Theme
For whom doth the bell toll the giant, you or both?
Have you ever gone back to Shadow of the Colossus? I’d love to watch that!
Nice video, I don't feel this haunting, but i like this style of music Hope you can react to The Chasm nail OST in Genshin
It’s filmed :) thank you for the request. It’ll be some time still!
Please listen to the main theme for this game. The mystique is incredible. Also listen to Lacrimosa from Tree Of Life. Otherwise you'll see that recommendation alot. (Jk i wont spam u, no worries. But i think you'll love it)
well look at that :D
The music from this game is honestly timeless, just like Bach or any other great composer of the past. A lot of games have incredible music like Elden Ring or Nier, but to me none of those tracks sound as 'Timeless' as the Shadow of Colossus tracks. Keep up the great work bro, I'm enjoying your videos a LOT. Also, my dad built 2 organs himself so i can't get away from it.
😳😳😳😳
please react to Shadow of the colossus The Opened Way
Omg how do you keep picking songs from my favorite games?
/slap Finish the game.
