After playing Last Guardian, I was told I should go back and play Shadow of the Colossus. While researching it, I found lots of people talking about how Ico was made by the same team as both those games and serves as the original of this genre.

I guess I just love this genre! It's been a meme for decades now about escort missions being the bane of video games, but Ico sets a standard far above any on how you do it right, and make it the entire game.

There's not much I can say about the game without giving too much away but the vibes are absolutely immaculate, the game is fairly short and sweet, the puzzles aren't too difficult, and the sound design is truly something else
