PS2 Ico

Product detailed description

ICO is a unique and innovative video game that was created by Team Ico and released by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. The game is known for its artistic style, emotional story and innovative game design.

In ICO, players control a young boy named Ico who has been ostracized from his village due to being born with horns. Ico is trapped in an abandoned castle where he meets a mysterious girl named Yorda who is haunted by shadows.

Players must navigate Ico and Yorda through the castle, solving various puzzles and overcoming obstacles. A unique aspect of ICO is that players must hold Yorda's hand and guide her through the castle, creating a strong emotional bond between the characters and the player.

The game also features a minimalist approach to design and story. There are no health gauges, no scores, and very little dialogue. Instead, the story is told through visual and audio cues, creating a deep atmosphere and engaging story.

ICO has been highly praised by critics for its innovative gameplay, artistic design and emotional story. It is often considered one of the best and most influential games of all time.
