Seriously, everytime I caved to hype and downloaded a demo or purchased a Sony published game... it was for nothing, just cool graphics, and I ended up refunding it. As a 42 year old, I've played those kind of games countless times, graphics alone won't grab my attention enough to keep me playing.
That said, if they ever published the shadow of the colossus remake on Steam, I would buy that in a heartbeat just to collect it. I've finished it multiple times, but I want to be able to comfortably play it whenever I please, with the touch of a button, for the rest of my life.
I've enjoyed the Sony PC games I played, though that's Ghosts, God of War, and Spiderman, so only way they were gonna be bad is if the PC port was dogwater.
That said, is it just Colossus you like, or the gameplay loop? Cuz Praey for the Gods scratched the itch fairly well for me, and Motorslice is a recent one I'll probably be grabbing aftet I finish my latest open world addiction.
I've bought Pray for the Gods when it launched the Kickstarter. The lack of polish put me off. The bar was too high. I enjoy the PS2 version more than PFTG... the script, the ambience, the score, performance, I like SOTC more than PFTG in every aspect except graphics.
