Take shadow of the Colossus, take away the story, the purpose, the Colossuses and the battles. Leave the beautiful landscapes and artistic imagery. Beautiful interactive screensaver. There is no challenge whatsoever. More than a game it's a meditation experience, not an action, role playing or exploration game.
You are always kept waiting for "something" to happen, a boss fight, and explanation, anything, but no it's just a journey through very impressive scenarios, at the end you will find yourself in peace and longing for something with a little more meat. t would definitely work as a charming video for any and all of the Enya albums to date.
Enjoy, but do not expect anything more than exactly the same impression from the first 5 minutes...for five repetitive peaceful hours. Just a line or two every now or then, a narrator, something to enlighten the player would have made a big difference.
