overhated by people who don't know how to play with doggies. while not my favorite team ico game (it's 2nd to ico), it is the only one that made me cry a TINY BIT.
Team Ico has created such a great reputation amongst gamers with titles like Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. Me, however, I have never played these titles. But after playing this "amazing" title, I can safely say it has ruined Team Ico for me and I don't think I can pick up another title from them because fucking hell this game was long. Trico's AI was atrocious to deal with. The runtime was only 8 hours which is quite less than the usual runtime of a game but it felt long. The levels for me were quite repetitive and with that combined with the controls, it felt like a chore to finish this game. The story itself was decent. I would give it a 7/10 as the developers had a nice concept of Trico having its own mind. But it does go sideways and irritating very very easily. If anyone is thinking about buying this game because of how calm and tranquil it looks, nope. Stay away.
Trico is the best. And the ending is so emotional. Plus the camera controls is really annoying a bit.
genuinely the worst game i’ve ever finished. the only good thing that i can say is that there were no bugs
Okay I love Trico, but I'm not gonna try and act like the obtuse way in which you control them is a positive for this game. I do like how it sort of emulate the natural language barrier that exists between humans and their pets, but by the end of the game I still had no idea what half the commands did. The game gives you button prompts for whatever the boy does, so why not Trico? Immersion be damned.
Still, when it works, it works. Some of Ueda's best and most intuitive puzzles by far if Trico does decide to cooperate, as well as probably his best and most emotional narrative. The bond between the main two felt way more palpable than either Yorda's or Agro's from Ico and SotC respectively, owing to Trico's agency within the story, and some of those final sequences were absolute heartbreakers.
All in all, I think this'd slot in right below Ico but above Colossus for me as far as Ueda's games are concerned. If my enjoyment was more consistent, I don't think I'd have issues calling this my favorite work of his, but it is what it is.

Imagine fazer amizade com seu próprio medo, ter a sua companhia em viagem, consola-lo e ama-lo.
Isso que The Last Guardian vem nos trazer: uma convivência frustrante e amável com uma criatura ingênua, que testa a sua resiliência a medida que crescem juntos enfrentando seus medos.
É impagável a relação de companheirismo dos personagens, sendo sensível simbolicamente até nos detalhes mínimos de game design, com momentos que compensam qualquer frustração que venha a ter. Os controles são bem funcionais e a IA é ótima se considerar a mensagem central.
Um jogo lindo, muito fofo e bem introspectivo.
O final sempre me quebra.
