such an amazing game that never seems to get any love
It does seem to have been overshadowed by Shadow of the Colossus somewhat.
My hunch is that it was really tarnished by the idea that it was "an escort quest, except that's the whole game", and with the hate those sorts of quests get I think that really turned people off, undeservedly, as the game is going for more than that reductive summary.
