A 2001 PlayStation 2 puzzle-platformer by Team Ico in which a horned boy escapes a vast castle while leading a fragile, captive princess by the hand.
Concept
Directed by Fumito Ueda, Ico minimized story and HUD elements to focus on the bond between the protagonist and Yorda, an ethereal girl whose disappearance ends the game.
Atmosphere
The castle’s hazy lighting, soft pastel walls, and minimal music give Ico a painterly quality. Combat against shadow creatures exists only to keep Yorda safe.
Legacy
Ico’s design influenced Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, Limbo, and many others. The 2011 HD collection bundled Ico and Shadow of the Colossus on PlayStation 3.
