The Good
- One of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking narratives you’re likely to experience
- being given an active role in establishing an almost tangible bond with Trico pays off in an incredibly powerful connection
- world design that is breathtaking to explore
- a near-perfect musical score, implemented with skill.
The Bad
- Combat is a chore, and maneuvering while riding Trico is a mess
- graphics appear a bit dated in quality
- camera control does not play nice with large bodies in cramped spaces.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
The Last Guardian is a game that can hold its own with the best. It’s a story about a unique bond of friendship, filled with both sadness and triumph that will make you cheer out loud even while wiping your tears.
