Emotive and contemplative storytelling, fantastic character development, 12-hours of single-player gaming
Some puzzles are chin-strokingly difficult, occasional issues with climbing mechanics
The Last Guardian has old school roots but is a very modern game. In an age where the top titles are effectively action movies you control, this is an indie classic that you'd happily sit in a trendy London cinema to see.The 12-hours of play time are frau...
Utterly captivating story, Trico behaves in a surprisingly lifelike fashion, Engaging relationship between boy and Trico, Excellent set-piece moments
Control scheme can be immensely fiddly, Getting Trico to do what you want at times is impossible
Yes, The Last Guardian's controls are incredibly archaic and at times can be entirely broken, but two days after finishing it, the story has stuck with me. Studio Japan has continued to show how it can do so much while saying so little. The environment, c...

Abstract: The worst moments are sometimes the greatest moments. For 20 minutes last Wednesday I stood by an expanse of cold water, in an ancient hall that had become home to a vast, lapping pool, and I tried to get my companion, a three-storey motley of house cat...

Abstract: It begins with a flashback – or at least that's what it seems. While children are heard laughing and playing in the background, the camera approaches some sort of golden artefact half buried in the sand. Then, after a credits sequence illustrated with 16t...
Despite its lingering flaws and often frustrating pacing, The Last Guardian rises above expectation to deliver an engrossing adventure. Team Ico have brought together everything they've learnt over their past two games to present a heartfelt tale wrapped...
Animations Are Top Notch, Trico's Feathers Look Phenomenal, World Design & Game Progression Feels Very Believable, Relation Between Trico & The Boy Is Fascinating, Worth The Wait
