    A masterpiece

    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.

    I grew to love this little gem of a game.

    If you haven't played the last guardian yet? You should, "imo". Give yourself time in the beginning hours and it will definitely grow on you. By chapter 3 I was hooked, and I can honestly say I had an emotional attachment to both of the main characters and I cared about what was happening to them. For me this was a welcome feeling as I have been a gamer for !many! years and have not felt this way with any other game i have played.

    It can be infuriating at times but keep at it, (sometimes camera angle and laboured controls) will test your patience. It's not perfect but it came pretty damn close for me.

    I can't say too much as this review would contain spoilers, it's a short game that packs a punch.

    One last thing, watch the end credits when you complete the game as it has a short fmv at the end.

    Pushing the boundaries of the technology

    The level designs, lighting, puzzles and plot are a masterpiece in their own right, but in doing so the game clearly pushes the boundaries of the technology required a little to far.

    This title not only gives you an AI companion that walks alongside you on your journey, but actually relies upon it to complete most of the puzzles. Any video game with an AI companion suffers from the issue of the Artificial intelligence falling far behind the flexible and rational intelligence that is expected, however, whilst it can be slightly frustrating the companion in this game is years ahead of other titles, it looks and acts in a rational manner and its animations are flexible enough to adapt to nearly all scenarios. Any issues can be overlooked but if the companion were another humanoid rather than an animal it would be more obvious. In this respect, when the boy your are playing as becomes unresponsive or performs an unintended action, it is far more frustrating. Similarly, although the camera follows your avatar without player control you are left to suffer some horrible and confusing angles at times.

    If your are a fan of Fumito Ueda or linear-puzzle games then this is a must play game, if however, you are looking for fast paced action games then this is not the game for you.

    You feel the relation between ab animal and human.

    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.

    Story is decent, but game mechanics are not!!

    I enjoy what story is in this game. It has a lot of heart and emotions involved which make up a good experience. The only problem (and it's a major problem) is that it's too hard to control Trico! You will tell him to jump one way and he will jump a completely different way. It makes playing the game so irritating/frustrating and a lot of times I will get exhausted and stop playing because it would take too long for Trico to do what you want. I want to continue on playing the game because I want to know what happens to the characters but it is extremely difficult to want to stick around and play it when it takes me an hour to get out of a room when it should only take 10 minutes.

      In early production, the unnamed was going to be a girl, but because of all the climbing and jumping players would have to do, and the possibility of up-skirt views, it was decided to go with a male character.
