A parte técnica desse jogo é horrível, se tivessem trabalhado bem mais nos controles (se possível, deixassem igual os do Shadow of the Colossus) e do desempenho do jogo, com certeza seria um 8/10.

C'est dommage que le jeu soit horrible a jouer, parce que ca reste une proposition unique.

Edit : Je suis arrivé à la fin du jeu, et je lui retire une étoile.
Le jeu retiré tout plaisir à l'expérience.

As I stated in my review of Shadow of the Colossus, I will start by saying that The Last Guardian is a story better experienced than described and recommend everyone to give this a single playthrough.

To put it simply, The Last Guardian is a beautiful game. After years of development hell it came out to very little fan-fare and has unjustly not been held in the lofty hall which houses the previous Team Ico (now GenDESIGN) games. But it not only stands out on it's own. It is both a departure and an evolution to the narrative style of Fumito Ueda. The gameplay can be, at times, frustrating due to Trico not getting what you want but that is partly the point. You are not controling the young man fighting the Colossus, you are not controling the young boy moving his partner across the temple. You are a a boy trying to form a bond and escape with a creature you cannot communicate with. Ueda is fantastic at creating stories where your lack of ability to communicate directly is part of the gameplay and Trico demonstrates just how far that idea can go. It might seem cliché but the bond that you as a player develop with Trico becomes as real as you allow it to be and by the end of the game the emotional depth of it's story shines through like no other game I have played. This is a masterpiece and I advise anyone with the means to play it to give it a go.

it pains me to give this 4 stars because I really love this game. for context I had beaten about halfway through last year but stopped cuz I got a job. I had no time to get back to this, so I shelved it. I thought by then ill get a ps5 and replay it with a better frame rate, but atm I cant afford it so fuck it. if its playable then thats all that matters eh?

Going back to this I noticed that this game may be a bit longer than it needs to be (could just be a weird feeling). Do I need to state the obvious? The presentation is at the very least something to admire. I felt the warmth and brightness of the sun, and the hot concrete this game is decorated in.

I was rarely annoyed by trico or the boy (Well, because im a cat owner, i had the patience for trico wandering about and not doing what he was supposed to be doing. Not trying to sound like an artsy fartsy dude, but its immersive. And you’ve got to have an open mind playing this, otherwise you’ll just have a bad time). One negative I will mention is that it does feel like a mouthful to maneuver your character and camera back and forth

Gen Design crafted a magnificent and heart-warming story. I loved the last guardian a whole lot. There were even moments where I cried ;_;

This game is damn near amazing, only hampered down a bit from gameplay. if I played on ps5 or pro this would be an easy 9. This review sounds monotone but i wanna make it clear that this is a stunning work of art thats worth a shot
