    Assim como Shadow Of The Colossus, The Last Guardian é mais uma obra prima do seu criador. Um jogo sensacional, tocante e único. Parabéns a todos os envolvidos, é um jogo incrível.

    The Last Guardian is a wonderful and unusual game. The game has some technical problems: at times the game slowed down a bit. But you quickly forget about it: thanks to the enchanting atmosphere and mysterious history. I was addicted to the gameplay and it was pleasant for me to play. Me were also pleased with the spectacular destruction in the action scenes.

    это второе произведение Уэды которое я попробовал, и эта "игра" мне запала в душу больше чем Колоссы, видимо моя любовь к животным сделал своё, поведение Трико выше всяких похвал, браво!

    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.

    This game is beautiful, and of a huge sensitivity. It has problems in the mechanics that border to very serious. But just letting me cry for hours after the end, not a sad but beautiful memory, lets me know that even if the controls don't respond well, the experience paid off.

    Juego muy bonito gráficamente, y conforme vas avanzando te van dando más ganas de conocer más sobre la historia, la relación con Trico se va fortaleciendo con el paso de la historia. El punto negativo es los mareantes a veces cambios de cámara al escalar a Trico y la dificultad a veces desesperante al manejarlo, por lo demás gran juego.

    Genial pero no recomendable para personas de poca paciencia.
    Me sorprendió mucho lo vivo que se llega a sentir Trico, en ocasiones llega a ser frustrante intentar hacer que obedezca ordenes, pero siento que eso hace que se sienta mas real.

    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.    … Expand

    Sin lugar a dudas, este juego termina siendo el juego distinto, casi una obra maestra, único en su especie en la generación de PS4. Un juego que tuvo una eterna espera, tuvo que pasar una generación completa para salir (se supone que saldría para PS3), pero al final la espera fue grata.

Un juego que tuvo una eterna espera, tuvo que pasar una generación completa para salir (se supone que saldría para PS3), pero al final la espera fue grata.
    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.    … Expand

    Fantastic journey with a boy and a beast finding their way out. And emotional game and one I will be remembering forever. Runs like **** on my ps4 slim but the journey is worth it. The controls were strange and frustrating sometimes and Trico often don't give a **** about you. Is a puzzle game with a great story behind.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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    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.

    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.
