After 7 years in what seems to be development hell, Team Ico finally introduces us to the majestic Trico and its heartfelt relationship with a young protagonist. While the long development cycle does show its age in certain parts up to a point of some frustration. The experience as a whole is one of the most unique ever.

A wonder of animation and AI smoke-and-mirrors, the beast in The Last Guardian is primarily a masterpiece of observation. [Essential]

The Last guardian is indeed suffering from some technical and control input issues, but its warm, beautiful adventure filled with countless touching moments is something we’ll never forget for the rest of our lives. The Last Guardian is not just a game, it’s an absolute work of art.

I'll be honest, I wanted to like this more. It has a beautiful story and art direction. It's just so janky with Trico's ai and the platforming.

By the time the post-credits wrap, this long-delayed production will have earned a place in your heart of hearts, alongside its predecessors. [February 2016, p70]

I really liked the game because it's like trico has been with us for 10 years andand the game conveys a lot of emotion and makes the player live fully

Es una absoluta obra maestra. La mejor adaptación de un animal salvaje en un videojuego. Emociona y mucho.

A moving adventure starring an extraordinary companion. Framerate issues intrude, but don't let them stop you from finishing this wonderful game.

Whether or not you feel the mechanical issues will be enough to ruin this sweet, impeccably realised, emotive game is up to you. For me, they're annoying but ephemeral. There were a hundred games released this year that are more fluid and fun to play minute-to-minute, and dozens that perform with a silky smooth frame rate, yet I'll remember this adventure with Trico long after I've forgotten those.

Not quite up to the same standards of its predecessors, but this is still an emotionally draining and beautifully realised story of friendship against the odds.

Story wise and visually the game has a lot going for it, but mechanically there are some genuinely troubling areas. Everything works, but it is nowhere near as polished as it should be, and occasionally that lack of polish hurts the overall experience. The Last Guardian is going to be a memorable release; there’s no doubt about that. But its legacy won’t be quite what fans had hoped.

Outdated and flat gameplay mechanics, poor controls, technical issues. The Last Guardian couldn’t be saved even by the extreme efforts from Sony to finish the game no matter the time. As you will love Trico for sure, the game itself you will certainly not. [Issue #270]

Игра пройдена в 2025 году. Подарила больше количество положительных эмоций, рекомендую всем. В 25-ом году, как глоток холодной воды в жаркий летний день.

+ Trico is cute - Camera and Controls are downright insulting, especially for a game with so much platforming.
- Extremely repetitive

A good intention that results in a flawed game. Its originality is undoubted, and that's its greatest pro. Sadly, there are little more. It tries to make the gamer connect with the beast, but only manages to do so for short moments. Tricko's AI is way too bad, and the boy's control + camera positioning make it uncomfortable and unfair most of the times. Pity.
SummaryIt’s an action adventure title. It’s a story about a young boy who has been kidnapped or captured under strange circumstances. It’s about an encounter between that boy and the mysterious beast Trico amidst ancient ruins, and a story about their journey together in the hope of escaping their mysterious predicament.
