    Ico

    To understand how different Ico is the first thing you need to know is that it’s a PS2 game that shipped in a cardboard box.

    It’s followup was Shadow of the Colossus which gets more attention, but I prefer its weird first game because it’s just so weird. Won’t be for everyone but it’s an experience.

    I suppose it relies on visual storytelling. Which might not be what anyone is looking for given that the focus of conversation here seems to be literary storytelling. But still.

      Considering DE at times felt like a visual novel for non-weebs, taking full advantage of a visual medium, and doing it really well should be like DE.
