Perhaps, although I really don’t think age has anything to do with it. I mean, even GOW: Ragnarok which just came out is pretty noticeably preachy and self-indulgent with its dialog a lot of the time, and that is a fantastic game. Also, WRT Shadow/Colossus, I was probably about 11 when it was originally released, so I do feel like it’s a game for 10-up’s coincidentally. But also part of what makes S/C so great is its minimalism, eg apparent lack of dialog besides the ceiling telling you where to go next.
