Masterpiece:
For those to whom I’ve recommended the PS2 game Ico, a comprehensive exploration in answer to “Why?”
At the dawn of the PlayStation 2 era, a relatively obscure first-party game called Ico was launched with little fanfare. Sales were tepid. But while everyone else was busy playing Gran Turismo and Tekken, word started to spread among enthusiasts. Ico went from an unknown game to a cult classic in a few short years. Today, its proper place in the gaming pantheon is clear. Ico is a Masterpiece.
