The Last Guardian

Some of the controls where not that good, but the story was so good. This is one of few games I've ever cried to.

Team Ico seemed to have read the reviews for Shadow of the Colossus and made everything more extreme. The design and architecture was made much bigger than before! But the animal companion was made much more important and uncooperative than before! Whatever they were aiming for, it didn't work. Not worth the wait nor the frustration.

I am a huge fan of the The Shadow Of The Colossus and consider it as one of the best games ever so my hopes were really high for this game considering it was released by the same developer but what I played was a technically bankrupt game with the worst AI I have ever seen, the game is so dated that it actually put a lot of PS2 games to shame, the only positive thing is the lore but that is not enough to make a good video game, this game should have been a movie when I can sit back and enjoy the rather interesting story not a video game with most lacking and frustrating GAMEPLAY I have ever witnessed.5/10.

Great game. Beginning of the game i dont have good opinion on this , after playing it,it is one of the greatest game. Animal and kid in the game move as realistic as. Climax you feel the relation between them.

I have been waiting for this game since the 2007 announcement and honestly never expected a masterpiece after all the development setbacks. At least finally know why it took this long. Team Ico never managed to get the core game mechanics to work, as I have no other way to describe the way the game fails to "work" at times. Most of the game revolves around making your companion Trico do the one thing that will get you to the next puzzle room and accomplishing that boils down to try and error. A 6-8 hour game thus becomes a 10-12 hour game. I would perfectly understand Trico having a mind of her own but that's not what went wrong here. A game with a heavy amount of climbing ultimately NEEDS to work when the right bottom is pressed and this isn't always the case here. You even get constant vocal cues on how to solve the next objective, as the developers seemed to understand that their own shortcomings. It's also noteworthy that the game looks like a PS3 game (outside of the highly scripted last hour), while playing like a PS2 game, but these are secondly concerns. More music would have helped too and the solid story is a bit more straightforward than I expected. The 2 much older predecessors are thus much better experiences in the end. Even the similar Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom for left me less frustrated but I can ultimately recommend the TLG to the right audience. It's highly unique, ambitious and you get to play as a "passive companion", as Trico ends up doing all the heavy lifting. Newcomers should get the Team Ico HD remasters for last gen first though. I ultimately wish that I could love the game but I only somewhat like it in the end. A shame, as Ico is one of my favorite games. 6,5/10
