I lived on its world, rather than inhabiting within. That's the danger of such a fairytale aesthetic, maybe. ICO's tranquil desolation required its castle, and I both understand and appreciate that, but its brilliance was in showing glimpses of faraway beauty through the cracks, balancing its morbidity with a wonder to impel Yorda towards. From the lush meadow on the opposing clifftop to the abandoned windmill that wistfully spoke of one-time production. The gentleness of the beach via the small boat... I've no desire to engage with a wholly depressing world. This doesn't look saturated to me, and it'd be doomed if they updated it with its technological limitations intact.
