    Best PS4 game. A true succesor to Ico and Shadow of the Collossus. Trico looks like a mixture of dog and bird, but behaves exactly like my cat. That means it won't listen often. Those times it can be a little frustrating, but it also adds to the believability of the creature and you can find other ways to show him what you want.

    I wanted to love this game, I truly did. But it's not just repetitive and somewhat uneventful, the tale of a boy and his dragon cat falling through scenery.

Trico's AI is responsive and revolutionary, as is the unbelievable amount of work that has gone into all of his detailed animations and his pathfinding in levels. Trico is an incredible combination of interactivity and subtle body language, like no character in gaming has been before. Trico will help the player through puzzles as much as the player will help him, whether it be through his vocalisations, his positioning, or his head movements. The Last Guardian is a masterclass in level design, with a scale rarely seen in games. In combination with high-stakes platforming, it makes for a nail biting experience. The weaknesses that TLG has are the camera (which doesn't need to be moved as much, and can be improved by raising the sensitivity to 100%) and that there is a great deal of depth to the interactions with Trico that may be missed by players. Unfortunately, even basic interactions seem to have been lost on a lot of players, which could be alleviated with the addition of a unsubtle tutorial. TLG is a once in a generation experience, with one of the most memorable endings in gaming history. Like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus before it, it will be influencing both developers and players for generations to come. Like with Ico moving from the PS1 to the PS2, The Last Guardian was also technologically ahead of its time. I can't wait to see what Ueda and genDesign create next.… Expand

    It's a work of art simply because of the sheer beauty of the entire experience. There's nothing quite like The Last Guardian in terms of its braveness to convey a story so simple and yet so effective. This is a game that will quickly let you know it's going to be an emotional journey and does not try to hide it. And at the end of it all, you get just that--a simple and honest, emotionally charged reward of an ending.

    Never before have I felt so connected to a game's characters since The Last Guardian, and my hope is that you, the readers, become brave enough to look past its shortcomings and unravel for yourselves the bond between a boy and his Last Guardian!    … Expand

It FEELS like a real place, and the story and music have stuck with me for days now. In my imagination i like to think Team Ico has found the secret to tapping into other worlds somehow and telling us a slice of their stories.

    I really think this is one of those games that is about the experience and the artistry, the passion behind it and the depth of your bond with Trico. It's far more than the sum of its parts.

    The Last Guardian has been the biggest disappointment of the gaming year, for this SOTC lover and has taught me a valuable lesson I should have learned long ago: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

    Having played SOTC (Shadow of the Colossus being one of the most revered gaming titles in existence, and a personnel favourite of mine-easily taking 3rd prize in my most beloved games of all time) when I was younger on the PS2, I was very stoked for the release of Team Ico's next new IP when it was announced in 2008. But now, having laying my hands upon the final product, I feel nothing but regret for my purchase decision and a sense of remorse for the missed potential of this game.
    Firstly, let's list the glaring issues of The Last Guardian. The most unforgivable flaw of this game is the very thing that was that was the primary focus of the marketing campaigns: The relationship between the boy and the colossal bird-mammal hybrid, Trico. This boils down into several factors, the most predominant being Trico's AI; the majority excusing this for natural animal behaviour, which I would dispute, as the major initiative of any game development team is to prioritise gameplay that elicits a sense of enjoyment and engagement from the player (whilst realism is subjectively important, to certain games, it should always take a backseat to gameplay). To substantiate, Trico will not always obey your commands, which would be perfectly acceptable if it was done in moderation, but it instead becomes a severe contributor to the overall tedium of the game which is further compounded by the need to constantly feed the creature and also have to calm him down after every combat encounter (which whilst nuanced and endearing at first, loses its effect further into the game).
    Moving on, the level design and puzzles of the game feel highly derivative and uninspired for the most part. Whilst, admittedly, the art direction and visuals of the game are utterly breath taking when they want to be, most of the levels of The Last Guardian feel very generic and really blur together due to their similarity, in addition to seemingly being suspiciously reminiscent of the world design in Team Ico's first title Ico. In terms of puzzles, their solutions are often times incredibly simple, reducing The Last Guardian's gameplay to boring and repetitive hunts to find where Trico can jump up to or down from different points in the environment or to search and destroy stain glass eyes. A closing note concerning artistic choices of the game developers: the game is overly cinematic (not in the sense of cut-scenes) which I found to be quite jarring and disruptive of the pacing of the game, in addition to severely overdoing certain "emotionally" evocative tropes (i.e. I lost count of how many times Trico saved the protagonist's life, but it must have been more than ten!).
    Finally (props if you've made it this far) the meagre longevity of the game will be a major deterrent for most prospective buyers. Overall, I spent 6 hours slogging through The Last Guardian's unfulfilling and unengaging plotline and have not even looked at the game since. The Last Guardian's lack of any real replay value (an element which was not overlooked in SOTC with it's hard mode and time trials mode-for both normal and hard difficulties, totalling at a minimum of 4 playthroughs-which overall acted to enrich the experience) really cripples it in the long term.
    And as a final, final note: the controls and camera in The Last Guardian are borderline infuriatingly broken, ranging from inputs being either misinterpreted or multiplied by 10 (when you want to carefully walk around an edge, the game will sometimes propel you off said edge in a full throttle sprint) to the fact that there is no dedicated 'grab' button (a staple of the series) instead having to rely upon an 'auto-grab' feature which was very unreliable at the times in which I needed it the most-usually resulting in the boy plummeting to his death.
    In conclusion, as you are no doubt aware of my begrudging animosity towards this game, I would strongly recommend you steer clear of this game, at least for now (the £50 price-tag isn't worth the 5-10 hours of gameplay you can squeeze out of this PS4 exclusive). Overall I cannot assert my disappointment for this game I (and a whole host of many others) have waited for, for 8 years of which a tumultuous development cycle has clearly taken its toll on such a renown and respected development team-for which I would partly blame Sony for. I know this game has been met with mostly positive reviews, but it has not been the recipient of critical acclaim across the board. I sincerely hope the voices of those with an opinion akin to that of mine own are not drowned out and are listened to by the developers, because I know Team Ico are undeniably passionate about their products and their fan base, and I know they have in them the capacity to produce utter masterpieces and works of ART.    … Expand

While the gameplay may not be your cup of tea, and there are a few short comings, everything in this fantasy world is gripping and feels believable.

However, instead of protect someone through the entire game, now you're the one who needs to be protect by your partner, which is some kind of gigantic winged dog called Trico. He's an adorable and very charismatic creature by the way. The objective is to escape from a fortress inside a crater and Trico's big size and strength will be necessary to overcome puzzles and obstacles, and also to defeat enemies (the boy can't defeat them all by himself). But to command his actions is not that simple. He's an animal after all and to make him execute one task you will need to repeat gestures and commands a lot do make Trico figure what you want him to do. Also, he gets hungry sometimes and we'll refuse to work if you don't bring food.

    I see what developers tried to do, make him look and feel like a real animal. For most of time it works very well, but now and then Trico will test your patient. He gets distracted very often and sometimes we'll do what he wants to do. You'll need to constantly ask for his attention to execute every task and i can some people getting annoyed by this, specially during one particular sequence where Trico needs to dive. It's the most frustrating bit of the game by far and will probably get a lot of tries and swearing to beat this part. Honestly, i still can't say what i did wrong.

    Also, the controls are not perfectly responsive, specially when i was trying to drop from Trico's body. The boy keeps getting stick on his feathers and the camera gets crazy. Jumping from a rope or chain to a platform is also very imprecise.

    However, all the struggle to command Trico and constant fighting with the controls and camera are absolutely worth. The game is beautiful, fun, fresh and the friendship between the boy you play and the beast is very nice to watch and has a lot of touching moments.    … Expand

I would say though that if you like Ico and SotC you should probably try The Last Guardian. The Last Guardian to me was a great idea that didn't quite pan out. To be honest it really feels like a ps2 game. It is definitely very beautiful in it's own way but I feel it suffers from a lot of problems ps2 games had back in the day that have by now been improved upon and almost perfected like the camera, or hit detection etc. The camera is the absolute WORST when in tight spaces. Granted, once the game opens up a bit it's not quite as bad, but when it is bad it is super frustrating. My other problem is Trico (the bird dog). Sometimes you will ask Trico to do something and 60% of the time he will either just stare at you like an idiot or do the exact opposite. I understand that Team Ico wanted to make the relationship a bit more complex by giving Trico a mind of his own, and setting a sort of "language barrier", but in my humble opinion that is NOT fun. I got to a environmental puzzle where I thought I had to get Trico to jump up to a small platform and I kept telling him to jump SEVERAL times and he just wouldn't do it. Then I started to think that maybe that was not where I was supposed to go so I spent a little over 30 minutes trying to find the way to go. When I couldn't find anywhere else to go besides up, so I go back to the same EXACT spot I tried before and tell Trico to jump one more time and he does it immediately! WTF!? That and the completely absurd camera made this game so frustrating to the point where I almost didn't even finish it, but my friends kept telling me the ending is worth the frustration. Well, I just finished it and I gotta say it's really good. The whole story is really good! It is just a shame that my frustrations with the game totally erase any motivation to ever play it again. Although I have the utmost respect for both Team Ico and their fans I just can't give The Last Guardian anything higher than a 5. Like I said the story is definitely worth a play through but with all of the ps2 era problems that have for the most part been fixed by now The Last Guardian should be bought at a very steep discount.… Expand

The question is whether this title lives up to its long anticipated release.

    The Good

    The Last Guardian is a beautiful game. The details put into Trico, the large feathered beast, clearly show the dedication that went into this project. The environment is massive in scale to both characters, and players can feel completely immersed in the world of the game. Each set piece requires the characters to work together to overcome the obstacles placed before the player; taking direct control of the young boy, players will attempt to guide Trico to progress through the game.

    The bond between boy and beast develops through the player’s success, and communication improves between the two. The challenge in many parts of this game comes from communicating with Trico, and getting him to perform the tasks that need to be done. Players can feel a sense of accomplishment from achieving successful co-operation form the two characters.

    The Bad

    The challenge in this game stems more from the ability to guide Trico then the actual level maps; what was made to feel like a creature that had its own attitude and intelligence can come off as a broken game mechanic at times. This is especially true when you use all the methods to guide Trico, nothing happens, then you run around the area trying to figure something out, only to have Trico jump up onto the ledge you thought he couldn’t reach in the first place. The controls to guide Trico aren’t user friendly, and can be difficult to understand exactly what it is you’re trying to get Trico to do as the camera tends to pan to Trico as you give commands.

    There isn’t much to do here except move from set piece to set piece, and while they are beautiful to experience, the game can feel less engaging at the beginning. There is little plot or drive in the game beyond working with Trico, and discovering more about the area where he dwells.

    Rating

    7/10 – This game isn’t for everyone, but it’s not a bad game. The Last Guardian is a well put together experience, with a few setbacks regarding Trico’s response to command. While epic in size, this isn’t the next big adventure game; Players need to try this game to decide for themselves if it’s a game they will love or not. At the end of the day, Trico is a welcome member to the PlayStation family, and The Last Guardian an overall success.    … Expand

    Another bad exclusive PS4 game. Game have bored game-play. Game have 30 fps only on PS4 Pro. Standard PS4 have around 20-25 fps. Graphics is low and simple. Don't buy this game, don't play.

    Imprescindible para cualquier persona... creo que todo el mundo debería jugar a este juego, niños y mayores solos o acompañados las mecánicas son oldskool y los puzzles están perfectamente implementados.

    Aside from some minor camera and AI issues, The Last Guardian is the game you've been waiting for. If you've been following this project, the outcome won't disappoint you, and if you haven't, you can discover a beautiful game that is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

    The worst controls in recent gaming memory. Frustrating A.I. on which you are forced to rely. Trial and error gameplay and puzzle design. Physics that can mess up preventing you going further in some cases or killing you. Poor level design in which numerous things look like ledges but aren't. Choppy framerate. Very poor camera.

    The graphics are so-so, the art direction is quite nice    The worst controls in recent gaming memory. Frustrating A.I. on which you are forced to rely.

    It seems that the reception to this game is all or nothing. If you want to mindlessly hack and slash your way through enemies for hours, or play 20 rounds of team deathmatch in a row, this is probably not your game.

    If you want to play a game that is masterfully artistic, beautiful, emotional, and requires patience and critical thinking skills, this game certainly provides. As a huge Shadow of the Colossus fan, I knew what to expect in terms of art style and game mechanics. This really does feel like an instant classic like the other team ICO games. The dungeon-esque puzzle sections are broken up with jaw dropping vistas and heart stopping moments, and after a few hours, you really start to feel a part of the world of team ICO. My ONLY complaint is that the framerate does dip in certain scenes, but after playing for five minutes, I am too immersed to even notice.    … Expand

    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.
