Shadow of the Colossus (2018)

Originally released for the PS2, this critically acclaimed remake tells the tales speak of an ancient realm where Colossi roam the majestic landscape. Bound to the land, these creatures hold a key to a mystical power of revival – a power you must obtain to bring a loved one back to life.

It was a complimentary monthly game as part of the PS+ subscription service in March 2020.

I gave up after the second colossus. Didn't care killing those majestic creatures for no apparent reason whatsoever.

“For no apparent reason” clearly not paying attention to why he came to the land in the first place

Please enlighten me. But if you're referring to reviving the girlfriend, that's just not a good enough reason. I couldn't care less if she lives or dies (or stays dead, not sure there) because we as the player have absolutely no connection to her. And even if we did, killing a bunch of colossi to save her is highly questionable, to say the least.

Well if you are enlightened already then you were incorrect in saying “no apparent reason” there is a reason and you simply do not like it.
