The only really obvious connection to both games is what you see at the ending of Shadows, but both games thrive off of not having a story to tell but not giving you a lot of background on what's going on. They are certainly in the same creative style, but are too vastly different experiences. Shadows is a much more epic solo experience, while Ico is much more about the relationship of the only two characters unfolding as the game progresses. Both are puzzle platformers, but Ico is a bit more traditional, while Shadows exchanges traversing buildings for moving bosses fifty stories high.
