    It's a great game, but doesn't feel like a next gen game.

    Bads: The framerates can ruin the entire experience! It's ridiculous that a ps4 can't play a ps3 at least at 30 fps... And also, the camera is annoying sometimes. This game is overpriced, it doesn't have a multiplayer and also the campaign is a little small. Goods: AMAZING SOUNDTRACK, really one of the best soundtracks i've

    Goods: AMAZING SOUNDTRACK, really one of the best soundtracks i've seen in my life. Also, the characters are very Charismatic, especially Trico. The Scenary is AMAZING, you feel small on the giant map. It's a awesome, shocking, experience, but a little ruined by the framerate drops and a confusing camera. Trico has also a great IA, Trico is very charismatic and can get a smile from you sometimes. The puzzles are very creative also, and the gameplay is very fluid and easy to control.

    Conclusion:

    - Doesn't feel like a ps4 game +Amazing, stunning soundtrack
    - Framerate drops +Amazing art concept
    - Bad camera +Very charismatic characters
    - Very short campaign for a no multiplayer +Amazing, shocking experience
    game +Good gameplay
    +Good and creative puzzles
    +Good IA

    If you loved ICO and Shadow of the colossus, you would love this. Fumito Ueda's games are very unique and are in a league of their own. Not a game for everyone, just the core fans.

    Story - I dont want to spoil things, but i can assure you. The story is Amazing.

In summary, You are just a mysterious boy who wound up in an unknown place together with a creature the boy named trico. Its whole campaign is both of you trying to escape together in that place while also learning the secrets behind it. What i really loved in this game is the growing chemistry and relationship of the two characters, at start, trico is really hard to pet or order and sometimes aggressive to you. But soon in the game, he will act like a pet who is always looking for his owner and will do everything for him. regardless it is an awesome experience. 10/10 for these part

    Graphics - Environment-wise, the game is beautiful though sometimes too bright. the frame rates is good in the PS4 Pro but struggles to be maintained in the standard PS4. However, everything is detailed, from the grass to the buildings and large posts and how everything crumbles in timed puzzles or etc. A very very pretty game to see. However, my biggest problem in the game is the animation of the main boy character, he is really out of place, i know they want the game to be artistic, but everything looks realistic from the environment to the creature Trico and suddenly you have a boy which is like a character made in the low graphics mode in the PS3. Sorry, cant really avoid that. A score of 8/10 will do.

    Gameplay - Now i see everyone hating on this part. But the devs already said before that it is bot for everyone. Why??? Because IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED HAVING A PET IN YOUR LIFE THEN YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED AND IMPATIENT TO TRICO. As for me, who had a pet dog. I really am amazed how realistic Trico is as an animal or pet. He is slow to react at first, easily distracted, easily scared of that weird rainbow like signs and his reaction when hungry, hurt or worried about you is spot on. I really am grown to love Trico. As for the negatives, the controls are clunky, the camera is bad esp at small place which adds unneeded difficulty in the game and how easy the puzzles are even though they are not giving much hint to you in game. A good 8/10 for me in this aspect.

    Music - Well, the soothing style of instruments playing when you are in a pretty place, exploring, etc. is really spot on. The music is beautiful, it is slow, mellow and really soothes your soul in a sense that you wont be scared to what lies ahead of you. Though could have wanted more music int he game cause everything is identical to the other. A score of 9/10 for me.

    Total Overall = 8.75 (will be rounded to 9)

    As a game which used a total of 7 years to developed (those who has no idea or never followed the game think it is 10 years) and IS MEANT TO BE A PS3 GAME and NOT ON PS2 (Sorry, need to educate some low IQ people) I am relieved and happy that they made a very good game like this, yes it has some problems but ICO and Shadow of Colossus the same had ones. So far, just the same with the previous two games team ico has made, this game has gave me a really memorable story and would not have second doubts to replay is again and again. I am really happy that these game is out here and as a long time follower to this game i am now able to enjoy and play. Atleast now we can all move on to the development hell everyone suffered and i am wishing team ico good luck for the game next game they are doing. Thanks. That is all.

    Dear Team Ico

    You had EIGHT YEARS to optimise a game that was originally designed for the PLAYSTATION THREE!

    Hell the visuals still look like a PS3 game, and yet the framerate keeps hitting sub 20fps on the PLAYSTATION FOUR!
    I wanted to really like this game but this is simply unacceptable. I can look past the dated visuals but not when the game is running this poorly.

    This game has some very emotional moments and a pretty cute story. But it has its obvious issues as well. Very poor frame rate, outdated graphics and mechanics. It's an okay game at best, luckily I wasn't hyped for it so I am not disappointed. Overall, it wasn't terrible but there definitely were some times where the game was frustrating to play.

    Team Ico is a lot like Taylor Swift after Kanye interrupted her at the MTV Awards a few years back, meaning they're pretty much immune to criticism. If The Last Guardian was released on PS3 it would be deserving of a higher review score, but releasing and charging premium price for a game that is tantamount to a upscaled PS3 port on PS4 is just dirty pool by Sony.

    The Last Guardian brings back all the magic and irreverence that Ueda provided us with ICO and Shadow Of the Collossus. With well-crafted gameplay, despite a choking performance, it's something unique. An experience where the player really cares about the characters.
    Something that is only found in the works of Fumito Ueda.
    I did not finish the game, but for me it's one of the best 2016

The game also looks gorgeous at times, even if it came at the price of some dreadful framerate issues throughout the game.

    Fans of ICO will enjoy the puzzle-solving and story, fans of Shadow of the Colossus will enjoy climbing and controlling such a huge beast, and newcomers to the series will be drawn in by the gorgeous visuals and unique environments. Don't expect perfection, though expect the same amount of creativity and memorability that Team ICO has always been known for.

    Indeed a really good and emotional game. But a game for people with a soul and passion for great a great story. Gamers that think that frame rate and few technical issues are the most important thing maybe don't like every aspect of the game, but even in theses camps, The Last Guardian is already another Playstation legend. Play it.

    It was a completely absorbing game that I just did not wish to stop playing. Even when I took the occasional break, my thoughts seemed to always drift back to this fantasy world. If you've played and enjoyed ICO and Shadow of the Colossus then the Last Guardian will not disappoint.

    Amazing story, Vibe and the whole experience.

    If you like the old games, you will love this. It have the ICO vibe and many elemtents from shahow of the collesus. Don't expect a game on rails, with many explotions.

    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 is indeed suffering from some technical and control input issues, but its warm, beautiful adventure filled with countless touching moments is something we’ll never forget for the rest of our lives. The Last Guardian is not just a game, it’s an absolute work of art.

    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.
