    I really tried to like this game but the way it controls is just infuriating. So slow and sluggish, half the time you’re just standing there waiting to see if Trico will do the thing you want it to. Couldn’t get through more than a couple of hours

    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.

    Comment décrire ce truc… sinon dire que c’est un gamin qui promène Médor, un gros, certes, très gros clébard un brin demeuré… dans des espèces de ruines très verticales (des précipices tous les 20 mètres).

    L’interface est minimaliste, tout comme l’histoire (mais quelle histoire au juste ? on ne sait pas) alors qu’on tente de progresser tant bien que mal dans cet environnement joliment fait mais qui file la migraine et donne mal aux yeux : en effet, ce jeu ne tourne que très rarement à 30 im/s, il se traîne sans arrêt entre 20 et 25, il rame, il saccade tout le temps !

    Quand il faut ajouter à cette misère la caméra absolument épouvantable qui fait n’importe quoi (elle tourne dans tous les sens lorsqu’on grimpe ou on descend, elle zoome et dézoome… elle est soûle, cette caméra !) et dans certaines phases de plateformes, elle se bloque inopinément et vous empêche de pouvoir tout regarder sur les côtés par exemple…!

    Enfin, les énigmes régulières laissent perplexes et aucune aide, aucun indice ne sont disponibles… Vu que le jeu est un étron technique qui fatigue énormément, on se lasse de chercher une quelconque solution assez vite. On y reviendra peut-être… si on a que ça à faire… je me demande si le jeu tourne correctement sur PS5. Mais vu comment la rétro-compatibilité est gérée chez Sony, j’ai comme un doute !

    Horrible, horrible controls. This is particularly inexcusable, because with the gameplay stripped down to its bare bones, you'd think that the few controls and interactions left in would be smooth. This isn't the case, though; the kid controls like a dump truck, commands to Trico often don't work, etc. The puzzles are largely obtuse and within a couple of hours become extremely repetitive.Horrible, horrible controls.

Buggy AI from Trico, the creature upon whom you depend to clear a majority of puzzles. Story is nonexistent for well over half the game. Great visuals and ultimately somewhat interesting story do not make up for the abysmal gameplay and uninspired puzzles. I could not in good conscience recommend this game to anyone. If you're interested in the story, I'd recommend saving yourself the pain and just watching a let's play on YouTube. This "game," if you can even call it that, is an absolute disaster. Expand

    Yes, it may have flaws. But this is a unique gem you can find for yourself. You will get unique gameplay, you will get personal relationships with the characters, you will love unique world and its visuals, you will enjoy unique music. You will get something like this only from unique people once in 10 years. Bravo and please let you new ideas be implemented in new brilliant games like this.

No realism have not to kill game otherwise let’s go add some eating **** system, a disease system a psychological system and a realist luck system.. The physic realism strangely stop when you juste need to put the barrel 3 cm up but no you cant you need to throw it 256 times to the other platform so he can fall and stabilize. The graphics are prehistoric but the AD is good i like the way the game look even with the blinding brightness.
    The game have full points with the experience and deep spiritual things okay i really liked trico, much less the kid( because of the **** physic I suppose). The puzzles are good , the game is not punishing you at any time it helps with the gameplay frustration.
    Finally we don’t have mythical OST like colossus i don’t remember any maybe because there are any.

    It was an average experience. It wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't really a good game either.

    The function of the buttons in this game was not standard, for example, the character of the game jumps with the triangle button instead of the X button, which was not compatible with the habits of us gamers. (This problem does not affect the score I gave to the 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

    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.

    Game had massive delays and was in development hell. No Team Ico sequel to Shadow of the Colossus during ps3 though. No thanks, made us wait so long and it only came on ps4. Team Ico skipped from releasing a new ip for an entire gen. The Last Guardian plays like a ps3 game but released for ps4.

    Absolutely deplorable controls. It feels like the devs considered playability beneath their artistic vision of what the game represents; or this is a deliberate choice. In any case, a beautiful looking game with presumably good story shouldn't be painful to actually PLAY. Also wish they'd remove the 30fps cap for PS5.

    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

    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.
