    From the first moment you are drawn in and emotionally entangled with a beast that makes you believe it's alive, and that video games are an artform. Beautiful and running smoothly at 4K on a PS5.

    The Last Guardian (2016) has a nice environment that is sure breathtaking to look at and the brilliant story on top of it is great. But my personal problem with the game is the gameplay, it's not exactly the type of gameplay that I enjoy in most games, The game is great but it's probably not a game you would have a lot of fun playing.

    A NEW STUBBORN PET IN THE FAMILY

    A NEW STUBBORN PET IN THE FAMILY

    UNEXPECTED PRESENCE:
    Fumito Ueda's new title, after more than 10 very long years, gladdens us with its typical game design touch; the first few seconds of the game are taken up by a very authorial cutscene, showing depictions of mythological and ancient creatures with, among them, a depiction of the monster we are going to get to know from there shortly. Most of the intro turns out to be extremely mysterious as it is left to interpretation since, once the cutscene is over, we will suddenly find ourselves inside a cave, where we will get acquainted with Trico, this giant winged creature,chained and severely injured. The initial objective of the player and the little protagonist will be to take the first steps with Trico, helping to heal him. These first sections of the game will mainly serve to explain the basic mechanics, as well as to discover the winged creature's abilities.

    FALLING DUE TO TRICO:
    The gameplay of The Last Guardian is both simple and challenging. Trivially it is a puzzle game, with small combat elements and the addition of a large dynamic NPC, Trico, who , unlike the girl from ICO, Ueda's first title, will have her own artificial intelligence. The variety of possible interactions with Trico is astounding; the game is entirely built on the interaction between the protagonist and Trico, with slightly variable challenges based on the AI, optional explorable areas, and many collectibles to get.
    Speaking of the puzzles, they reach the peak of the products made by Team Ico, with peculiar and situational mechanics, truly evocative areas that the player will have to pass through to continue his journey, and unpredictable and surprising events. Finally Combat comes across as rather bare and almost superfluous, being that most of the actions will be performed by the AI, and player interaction will be limited to knocking off the heads of enemies if stunned or giving nudges so as to unbalance enemies.

    PEEKING BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS:
    Like every title produced by this talented Software House, the aesthetic side of The Last Guardian is impressive. The use of aesthetics, coloring, and graphics that are very different from the crowd gives the game a personal touch. The use of the gray colors of the ruins combined with the green of the vegetation, the blue of the sky and the brown of the earth makes the sight of open areas a joy to behold. The architecture of decaying buildings combined with details of contraptions evidently from another era creates a thought-provoking combo of diversity and curiosity. The animations, moreover, are really studied to perfection and look accurate and natural in every situation. The only major flaw lies in the camera, which has an annoying switch when it approaches surfaces, giving a sense of nausea and annoying flicker of the view, especially when you are on Trico's back and pass close to walls or roofs.

    PERPETUAL ECHO:
    Once again this title is influenced by its predecessors, with very few OSTs and many ambient sounds. Unlike Ico, however, they do not affect the player's feelings so much and are bland. Note of credit to the invented language, usual touch of imagination and innovations of Ueda's titles.

    ACHIEVEMENTS:
    The achievements will unfortunately prove very tedious if simple. They require completing the game in flawless, speedrun and getting all the collectibles. The problem is more related to the stubbornness of Trico's AI, which will often not do what it is instructed to do, greatly lengthening the hours of gameplay and wearing anyone's patience to the limit.

    BUT WHY 8?

    PROS:
    Despite problems that will be discussed in the next point, The Last Guardian remains a beautiful game to experience, especially if you take it slowly, following Trico like a real animal who does not always understand orders from a human. As already mentioned the aesthetics and art design are very inspired and become enchanting at times. Finally there is a point of departure from its predecessors, namely the story, which is actually understandable and much more down-to-earth, leading to a surprise ending that can bring a smile to any player's face.

    CONS:
    Starting with a problem that could vary depending on the platform, severely ruining the gaming experience, the biggest problem that I primarily had trying this video game on the first PS4 is that of immense frame rate drops, with peaks of 5 fps, which can make the 'experience truly detestable, causing headaches and turnarounds. The second major problem is that of the AI; often exaggeratedly stubborn and stupid, it makes the game extremely slow and tedious, as well as frustrating if you are facing it in flawless or speed run.
    Finally, as already mentioned, the combat is uninteresting and always gives the impression of helplessness, not being able to do much of anything really.

    The Last Guardian es un juego del team ICO, a los que los aficionados a la industria y a la ya vieja PS2 conocerán por entregar dos de los mejores juegos de su catálogo; Ico y Shadow of the colossus. The Last Guardian fue el siguiente paso en el escalón de Fumito Ueda y su equipo y la verdad es que visto con perspectiva, tardaron pero no fallaron.

    Nos entregan básicamente un juego de plataformas y resolución de puzzles, en el que tendremos que llevar a los dos protagonistas; un niño desconocido y un enorme animal mitológico que nos puede recordar a un grifo, desde una profunda mazmorra a un destino incierto, tratando de salir del extraño lugar donde estamos confinados; una extraña y titánica fortaleza en ruinas incrustada en una montaña.

    Los puntos fuertes del juego son sin duda su historia, la fuerte carga emocional de la misma y el impresionante diseño artísitico, como no podía ser de otro modo. La ambientación es de 10 rotundo y sin discusión, como así lo son los escenarios y los puzzles.

    Tiene entonces algún problema el juego? Por desgracia sí y es importante: La imprecisión del control, dentro de lo que se puede englobar lo difícil que puede ser a veces ordenar a nuestro compañero animal que haga ciertas cosas. Las indicaciones en ese caso del juego son muy escuetas, pretende que la interacción con el enorme animal sea lo más realista posible, apoyándose en una I.A. muy acertada, ojo, pero a veces un poco desesperante. Y el control del propio niño es de la misma manera impreciso, de tal manera que puede que por culpa de ello te encuentres con la muerte en alguna ocasión, gritándole a la pantalla "yo no he hecho eso, no te he ordenado saltar ahi!!".

    Quitando este inconveniente, el juego es maravilloso, la historia de fantasía y amistad que nos propone, los preciosos y devastados escenarios marca de la casa (imposible no mirar atrás y recordar shadow of the colossus e Ico) son sin duda ya historia de los videojuegos. Es un exclusivo de Playstation y un must play de la plataforma en mi opinión. Actualmente seguro se puede encontrar a buen precio. Merece la pena

    Lo bueno del juego es que mantiene el espíritu de sus antecesores, un juego minimalista, contemplativo , reflexivo y en donde tienes que observar cada detalle de tu entorno para encontrar el camino a una pronta salida. En cuanto a los personajes, te haces parte de su amistad y cariño mutuo, con un final muy conmovedor. Lo malo sigue siendo las cámaras que complica tu trayecto, también la mecánica de juego a la hora de tratar de soltarte de Trico o moverte por su cuerpo, por momentos tiene baja de frames muy notorios. Por lo demás son solo tecnicismos que no tienen nada que ver con la historia y el juego en sí.
    En estos tiempos de pandemia es un juego imprescindible para aprovechar su pausado camino entre tanto juegos vertiginosos. Para cerrar, creo que se hubiese convertido en un juego de culto como ICO o Shadow of the Colosus si hubiese salido en PS3 como estaba estimado en un principio. Lamentablemente al salir en PS4 se convirtió en un juego subvalorado.

The positives would be its world-building, atmosphere, and mystery. I haven't played a game that involves solving puzzles with a big furry companion so it was a refreshing experience. However, the controls of the camera and Trico sometimes was very infuriating as there are times where he does not move or moves backward. Also, the trophies in this game seem very tedious so there isn't a chance for a casual to ever think about getting platinum. Verdic: good game to play once and only once.

    It does have some issues though. The controls take quite some getting used to, are not precise and at times it can be downright frustrating to know what needs to be done, but Trico decides to show his mule genes and wanders somewhere else, at a very elaborated snails pace.

    The camera has a little affinity for not beeing placed optimally, and the framerate takes some unbelievable deep dives on a normal PS4, for something that does not really look the part. Probably should have cut down on some of the swaying effects. This is what really hurts the game a notch for me and I really don't have high standards on visuals at all.

    But, it's story and gameplay kept me interested from start to finish, even though some puzzles needed a bit of help from the internet. This is all and all a fantastic game, if you are ok with slow pace and don't need high powered visuals. Be sure to watch the real hidden ending, not knowing about it almost got me and had me disappointed at first quite a bit.

    the positives and the amazing story makes me forget about the negatives. it's my first "ico studio" game, but after finishing it i went back to ICO and Shadow of the colossus (they are amazing by the way) this game is my favorite game of all time.

    An emotional journey not for everyone. Trico is one of the Best Monster that you can see and play with in a video game, plus you can feel how Your Bond with trico is escalting and you start to care for him. Give IT a try it’s more than a game

    A wonderful and warming story, full of little details of world building and nice but sometimes too easy puzzles.

    You have to learn and struggle with controls but it works as intended you'll get used as Trico gets used to you. An amazing experience for anyone and a must for Team ICO fans.

    A very special game.
    Some clunky game mechanics can't get in the way of this fantastic game. Especially the second half which really starts to fire on all cylinders. Some of the best cutscenes ever, and the creature, Trico, you learn to hate then love (My dog is called Trico). I would love a sequel to this game.

    Disadvantages: not good elaboration of the main hero. Both as for graphics, as for animations and story. Quite slow gameplay. Uncomfortable control, especially camera. Uniform locations, lacking of interesting puzzles and interactive actions with Tricko.

    Advantages: the main - Tricko. The best beadt a've ever seen in games. I've never seen so real and natural catsimilar beast in games.

    The Last Guardian delivers emotional story of a little boy and a mysterious creature on their journey through the even more mysterious and beautiful world. If you enjoy observing landscapes and solving environmental puzzles accompanied by orchestral music, this is a game for you.

    The only issue this game has are controls. You play as a boy, who also gives commands to his companion creature (to fly, to jump...) and quite often it takes a lot of time from the moment you give a command until something really happens. Not to forget that very often you command something but the result at the end is some completely different thing or wrong direction of your companion's jump, etc. These things really slow down the gameplay and from time to time can be frustrating. However, those issues are only moments here and there that won't ruin the entire experience and story.

    Сюжет игры. Честно сказать, он для меня стал понятен, только после финальных титров. При том, при всём, в игре нет, практически, ни одного слова.
    Да, сюжет оказался очень интересным, лично для меня, но всю, почти, игру я бегал, даже не понимая, кто я и зачем всё это делаю. Может в этом вся прелесть?
    Графон. Ну, что же, мир и сам Трико прорисованы великолепно. Мальчик ужасно!
    Но самое главное в этой игре, это атмосфера. Она не даёт заскучать в, принципе, пустом мире.

    The Last Guardian requires a particular mindset when going into the game. It is more puzzle than action, and the fantastical beast is better seen as an independent entity from yourself as the player.

    A beautiful experience. The atmosphere is amazing, but the unresponsive AI at times can be very frustrating. There were two times that I spent about 30 mins just trying to get Trico to do what I wanted. Besides those two times, the game flowed well and impressed me and you form a genuine connection with your companion. It is an emotional story that I absolutely loved.

In the end the experience, in conjunction with the audiovisual, is beautiful, however it doesn't feel as epic as Shadow of the Colossus.

    It seems that Team Ico still can't develop a control and a functional camera; they are still two frustrating elements and although the game looks great, I feel that graphically is not up to the console and the year it came out, maybe because it's almost visually as it was developing for PS3.

    I have to admit i sat on it long before i started it.
    Its a few of the developers and creators behind the epic Shadow Of the Colossus who created this game. And yes, its beautiful, yes its grandiose. Yes we are to venture into a fabled story yet again.

    What i did not enjoy 100% on SoC was the controls. That fever seemed to have cathed on into this game. Its a bit rubbery and slow, and the camera plays drunken tricks on you.
    But they are not critically bad as you might think, but they are the reason why i drop a point of the score.
    The story is magnificent. And its here why you should play the game. You play a little boy who wakes up in a cave together with a large lion/bird hybrid fable animal you call Trico. The progression of the games tells you the bond of this boy and the beast as they closely bond tighter as they venture.
    As the boy, you must use Trico to reach unreachable areas. You must feed him, help him, and tend to him if he gets wounded.
    You learn a few tricks to communicate with Trico as you go, like issuing commands as direction and jump.
    Basically you are going somewhere to unravel the mystery of Trico and why you ended up with him. But no spoilers here.. The story is a heartwarming tale of friendship and trust.

    The game shares the minimalistic content as SoC. It´s focused to your mission with very little distraction to do other things. You solve puzzles continuously in your journey and often comes into battle with foes as well. As much as the maps go, its a more exciting world than SoC. Instead of a large flat world where you go from east to west, in TLG you are going one way.. Up. That means massive towers, and there are som very gut-wrenching areas to traverse.

    To sum it up. TLG was worth the wait. The story is long enough to keep you busy for 2-3 days.
    It´s BEST played on a large TV.
    Journey on and don look down..

    After 7 years in what seems to be development hell, Team Ico finally introduces us to the majestic Trico and its heartfelt relationship with a young protagonist. While the long development cycle does show its age in certain parts up to a point of some frustration. The experience as a whole is one of the most unique ever.

    The Last Guardian doesn't just live up to its forebears' legacy, it goes further. Despite the callbacks to Fumito Ueda's previous works, it is a unique creation. Outside of indie experiments, we don't get to say that about modern videogames often enough.
