Right now, it’s impossible to say with certainty if The Last Guardian will be worth the wait. But, after playing through the game’s new 45-minute demo, I can definitely say it will be one of the most unusual titles to hit the PS4 this year. What I played of The Last Guardian was at times frustrating and at other times fascinating, both due to Trico, the game’s bird-dog AI companion.
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
Friendship is hard to depict accurately, but The Last Guardian does a good job of showing all its ups and downs through Trico and the boy.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ll never forget the emotional experience I had with this game. After waiting all those years, and than to finally play it. It was a visual beauty, along with offering a story/friendship between the 2 characters that was unique and unforgettable. Far surpassed my expectations. A masterpiece!
Technical issues aside, never have I played anything quite like it!
I enjoyed the game but it started out too simple and easy. If the entire game was as intense and challenging as the last 20% it would have been a 10/10 experience.
I managed to grab the collectors edition for £40 about a year after it released. Was an enjoyable game, but I had just finished Shadow of the colossus, and whilst I enjoyed it, it was not as good when compared.
To better understand why The Last Guardian's Trico clicked with some gamers and annoyed others, this article will explore the story behind the beast to see what makes it tick. Although a somewhat polarizing figure, Trico is a unique element of The Last Guardian that is equal parts captivating and mysterious. While some appreciate the beast's realism and unpredictability, other found the strange creature to be a tad too frustrating.
Interesting preview. Sounds like maybe the delay will help fine tune some of that glitchiness
I do hope that you can die in the game. His mention of falling and being saved by the tail worries me there might be some immortality thing going on.
The platforming, grabbing, and AI of the bird is what I would like them to fine tune and perfect... It does sound like he was giving the game a pass... By saying its an animal so it does what it wants. I definitely wouldn't want to feel frustrated playing a game which is meant to be enjoyable.
I been waiting for years for this game and it look amazing. Feel like that you never going to forget like metal gear or bioshock or the last of us. Half life. It feel like game of the decades type.
Im seeing a consistent sentiment among previewers: "Sometimes frustrating, often unique, sometimes fascinating."
I'm still looking forward to playing it. This is why I'm multi platform. I like the different experiences each has to offer. I wish more developers had the courage to be unique and not just barf up another FPS
Atleast Kotaku is way more reliable then polygon
